just moved into a nice and cosy loft apartment in Bangkok, Thailand. My cats are going to love this place! on Vincent's Twitter, FriendFeed, LinkedIn and Facebook.

I have been rather quiet lately and I have been hesitant about posting new content to my blog. Why? Because most of the products I have been testing are crap and I have been through quite a bit of “hell” wasting my time and money on them. I was afraid my tone would not be too positive and it would affect the whole tone of my site with all these negative posts.
I reckon over 80% of the internet marketing products I bought over the last two and a half years are nonsense. That is why you see so many negative reviews on my blog. On one hand, I don’t want to write negative reviews about people’s products because I don’t really like to step on people’s toes. My friend told me if you keep on doing this, you won’t get many joint venture offers. On the other hand, some of these internet marketing products are so crappy I feel I must share my experience with you to add some balance to all the marketing hype (lies) out there.
The worst case scenario is I write a negative review about someone’s product and that person will never invite me to do joint ventures for his products. I am fine with that because he is pushing junk to people anyway. I am not here to be a internet marketing guru who “sells shovels” to people. I don’t care about becoming famous in this internet marketing industry. My bank account will be smaller because of my unwillingness to play along with their marketing hype (lies). I believe I can live with that rather than sending “cut and paste promo emails” to my newsletter subscribers about junk products every now and then.
I feel I am now ready to resume blogging again after taking some time out from my blogs. My next post will be on how to deal with the monster RegisterFly and reviews on 4 SEO tools I tested this week. You will be surprised at which one of the 4 SEO tools is ranked the last in my opinion.

Dear Vincent,
How about using form of buddy system to share out the testing workload with people whom you know? It would save you some time and avoid some negative stress arising from low quality products. Those negatives might even pull you down. Anyway, you are appreciated for your truthful comments and evaluations. Heads up!

Hi vincent, recently I also bought several ebook in clickbank with superp sales letter that sell lies. I bought the book with USD200 and to my horror, the content is crap. Hopefully you can find some good product and share it in your blog. Good luck.

Vincent,
You reckon 80% of the internet marketing products you bought so far are nonsense. I couldn’t agree more. I reckon the useless products out there from so called “gurus” are closer to 99%. The only way I have been able to stay awy from most is by being very CAUTIOUS with their sales letter gimmicks.

Well said! The internet is not like real life. In real life, you meet someone who sells you a bum deal and you remember that name and face for next time. On the internet, you never get to see the real face, so the scammers happily recycle used toilet paper into other products, since you can’t see the content before you pay, and you will never get a refund.
Thanks for posting what you do, and your interesting insights.
