I fell for it once and never again. A newsnetwork that requested new freelance writers that could take benefits out of google adsense and other advertising. Pity I cannot mention any names but your story is definitely a good warning for people. Thank you.

I’ve had similiar experience with both Matt and Joe. I now avoid anything with either of their names associated.

Barbara. I don’t understand how people like Joe and Matt can think they are going to sustain their reputation with such tactics. I guess they figure there’s an unending pool of potential customers.

As someone who writes long sales letters, I know that anyone who does this kind of writing does not expect people to read every word. Some might say it’s the customers responsibility to do so, but I think that’s unrealistic when some of the sales letters are 4,000 to 5,000 words long.

I hope these methods to fade from the picture.

That happened to me, too, with someone whose work I’d been following for many years – Joe Vitale.

When I called to ask about it, they said, “You agreed to this when you signed up.” So I went back and looked and – sure enough – there was the thing that said, “Hey we’re going to keep sending you stuff and charge your credit card every month.”

My issue about it was – it wasn’t in large enough type to catch my eye first time around – and that’s a little dodgy, to my way of thinking. And the material they sent was not first class stuff, either. All of this lowered my trust levels around the guy and his company.

I’m finding myself unsubscribing to many marketers who are supposed experts in their field because of such nonsense.

As we raise our vibration, many of the old marketing methods become increasingly intolerable. We can do a lot better than this.
