Today I visited a web site selling a supposed new way to find traffic and make money as an affiliate. Just once I’d like to visit a sales page that isn’t full of the worst kind of hype. Deception, distortion and withholding information that is critical to understanding what is being sold. It’s the same old philosophy. Sell them the dream, get them in the door and hope they don’t cancel when you reveal the true nature of the product. Oh and make sure you hit them with multiple up-sells until they are ready to scream.
That’s the experience I had today visiting “HARD CASH HIJACK”. The only think hijacked so far is my goodwill, trust and patience. Now having said that, it’s not all bad news. The product may be viable but it is certainly not for everyone and it certainly is not as easy as the hyped up sales copy leads you to believe.
Bookmark and stop back as I add to this review over the next few days as I investigate further. First I have to calm down after being put through the wringer with up-sells and hyped copy and misinformation just so the author could hide the fact that this product is all about buying ad space on web sites using banner ads. Big whoop!
Okay to be fair there is some software that helps analyze potential advertising opportunities. The author conveniently leaves out of the sales copy the fact that you will need to learn how to find, make contact and negotiate with site owners over the cost you will pay to place your banner ads on their sites. Just a little detail.
I knew I was about to be disappointed when the author prefaces access to the software with the words, “you need to keep an open mind”. Those are the code words that really mean “you aren’t going to like what you have to do” and it’s not going to be as easy as advertised in the sales page.
That’s enough for now. I have my finger on the cancel button but before I do I am going to investigate the product further to see if it is viable and whether the author can be forgiven for being so deceptive with his sales copy. Stop back later and read more…
