$1,080,496.37 In 24 Hours? or Why I Stay Out Of Discussion Boards

This week a marketing master grossed an amazing $1,080,496.37 in only 24 hours. And he did it without spending a penny in advertising and by selling an expensive $997 course on internet marketing.

Pretty amazing accomplishment, wouldn't you say? Seems like those kinds of numbers prove he knows how to sell on the Internet.

There were dozens of favorable reviews of this product from well known net marketers – and one negative review. We can respect these negative comments because:

1. The reviewer actually owns the course and has spent time with the material
2. He gave actual reasons for his negative reaction

But some of the comments on his discussion board are amazing:

* One poster called this negative review “so refreshing!” He then went on to trash two favorable reviews. I happen to personally know one of the people criticized for his “hype” and he told me, in private, that the information is “phenomenal”. Why is this hype?

* Another entry said, “We should get the word out that these people are sheisters ... and I'd hate to see people get ripped off by them.” (I am assuming he meant “shyster'.)

The point is that neither of these two posters knows the creator of the program and have never seen the course in question. Yet, they feel qualified to rip apart his work, based on zero knowledge of its content.

Is the course worth $997? I, for one, don't know. I won't know until it arrives, I've studied it and used it to achieve results in my own business. Until that time, anything I have to say is worthless. I respectfully suggest that all uninformed comments are nothing but opinions and not to be valued too highly. Personally, I am quite impressed by this marketing campaign and think it should be STUDIED, rather than criticized. Do you know how to generate a million dollars in just one day? I don't.

The negativity and griping in discussion boards is not healthy for people who are truly serious about their business. It's quite true that everybody is entitled to their opinion. It's also true that all opinions are not of equal merit.
