Now I really hope you and other very successful Marketers wake up, coordinate and get active in fighting against SOPA. It's a very real recurring threat intended by certain Democrat politicians to begin gaining control and interfere with all aspects of I.M.commerce. If ever passed, can ruin all our future endeavors in the I.M. space. Thanks David, that was helpful.

Continued: 1. There are between 3,000 and 6,000 (that's THOUSAND) people on the WSO forum at any one time. That must equate to 10's of thousand of visitors a day. 2. You can put full-length copy up there in front of those thousands for $40! 3. All those people are laser targeted at IM offers. 4. All those people are hungry (like me) and go there to BUY (like me), paypal account in hand. They don't expect freebies, they go there to buy. As a result, conversions are super-high: 10%, 20% even 30%. 5. The social proof is MASSIVE. There is no clickbank guru hiding behind an impenetrable wall of a support desk. You can PM the guy, or put a post on his thread, right then and there. And he will answer you! Reviews from fellow warriors overcomes the number one problem of classic direct marketing - building trust in your potential buyer (Ted Nicholas says this is the biggest thing). 6. Even poor sales copy sells. Because you are selling to like minded people. No need for 5-figure copywriters - just be yourself and talk about your stuff! 7. The list of buyers you get is maybe 10 x more profitable than a conventional opt-in list from SEO traffic or paid ads. Why? 1) They are all buyers. 2) They trust you (see above). I've had email open rates of over 50%. Try getting that from a squeeze generated opt-in list! 8. You don't have to be a money-spewing guru - you can sell a simple tool, resource or time-saver, without having to fake it till you make it and pretend your a millionaire. 9. WSOPro is like no other - public stats! Boy is that powerful. You can see exactly what the EPC is before you decide to mail. EPC's of $2 are not uncommon, and you can choose them with confidence. This also means that if your offer is converting well, you will be showered with affiliate request without ever having to ask a single one! (that was my experience) Russ Rufino, Simple Spencer, Jay Boyer, Wicked-Simple Shawn the list goes on and you can put my name in there too - all people who have made it from zero at the start of 2011. When I launched my first WSOPro WSO in May I was a total newbie online (direct mail background). I had no guru buddies, no affiliates, no friends on the Forum. My first offer grossed $115,000 (half for affiliates) and yielded 5,000+ buyers. All because of the power of the WSO Forum and WSOPro. People like Charles Kirkland are on record saying it is more profitable than his Apex Elite Clickbank business. Even Mike Filsaime is back. That speaks volumes. I recommend it. For 2012, that is where anyone who is yet to make money online should be looking to offer an sell a small, useful, high-quality tool, guide, or resource. What do you think Dave?

David is just like any other Imers. He is gonna send you promos and the suchlike. Now if you want to unsubscribe, do so. I know I certainly would be after David has basicallhy shared with the rest of the world what the contents of the private emails you have sent him were and also told you to go away. Some times people fit, some times they don't. Obviously David has decided that email marketing is what is working for him, so Paul it aint gonna get any better. Hi.

I know you have to make money, and it is not that that I begrudge. I dislike the fact that you do not put enough time into checking these products out,so that we can trust what you are telling us, which leads to trusting you. Let's face it, you put out such a volume of emails with new products that they all cannot be bad, but they all can't be good either, and this is where you come into play. After getting an email from you on Monday that talks about a product you are pushing, come Friday after going through the same process throughout the week, I no longer remember what the Monday product was about, and this just leads to pure frustration. I don't think you are a bad guy and I suspect that you are quite intelligent, but this pounding we take from you week in and week out is outright irritating. Do yourself and me a favor. Buy a few products this year and try them out, and if they work and you can show us that they work, watch how many sales you will have this year. People will flock to you because this is something that is rarely done by IM marketers. You think you are well off now, try this and see how well off you become.

I checked, and you sent me 4 emails LAST year complaining about my marketing tactics, mostly about sending you emails on Sundays and sending you too many, telling me how disrespectful it is and so on... First off, sending an email while someone is sleeping is not disrespectful. It's an email, not a phone call. You get to check it at your leisure, that's the brilliance of email... And obviously you are exaggerating about me sending a new offer everyday and that I don't make an effort to check the offers out... but it doesn't matter. Even if I was sending you my best stuff for free, you would probably still complain. I can't be everything for for everybody all the time, and that's fine. Matson (above) has been opening my emails for a year and loves them. You even said in your letters that you keep a separate folder for my emails because you like what I send out! Shall I remind you... "...Now I have a folder for you because I find that a lot of material you send me is good and it is informative so I really do not want to unsubscribe from you.." This was written August 2010! Over 16 months ago! But what I can't understand is if you feel like you posted above (so fervently that you decided it would be a good idea to post is publicly on my blog), is why you haven't unsubscribed yet. If How did you get the email about this blog post? It's because you're still on my list! Listen Paul, I'm not sure what you're so upset about. But the fact remains, if you didn't want to be on my list, then you would unsubscribe. If I wasn't telling you about good stuff to buy, then you wouldn't buy it. And if I was one of the worst IMers out there, I wouldn't be making money and having people pay me for my advice. Your last line speaks volumes... "I have no interest in making you rich." Well, I guess that's the difference between you and me. Ah, good ol’ Paul Warner…
