Here's a YES/NO poll:

A book titled "What Nobody Tells You About Network Marketing"

Price US$ 7, payable through paypal with refunds.

Will YOU buy it?

[Verniel Cutar Company: Global Domains International, Inc Contribution Level: 3]

NO.

Even if I was a newbie, the book doesn't have much appeal because it's on a negative note. Anyway, I accept that other people might have varying views. The title is somewhat controversial, but like any other title, the content must be able to live up to the hype.

Happy networking and cash collecting!

No

Though the title is controversial, and leaves curiousity, it does not appeal to me at all. It doesn't say what problem will be solved, which area of Network Marketing, etc.

So for me, it's too vague and doesn't say enough for me to get it. Maybe because I've seen enough headlines like these and not really into them.

I think you need to work on your wording a little bit.

People will buy if they think that it's something that holds the "answers" to why they're failing.

Thanks Verniel, Adam, Corrisa.

More responses please...

Although the title receives a high score with the headline analyzer you may not be appealing to the group you want to. It doesn't really appeal to me.

NO.
Not even if it was free.

Sandeep,
My opinion is based on a long standing issue I've had with most of the current marketing being done in this industry, and oddly enough coincides with Verniel's latest post "Too Much Negativity."

Personally I am so sick and tired of all the "insiders," people actually in the business writing these lame ass headlines that portray our industry like a a freakin joke!

Unfortunately, for me, this headline is just another "me too" use of a false negative to garner attention and setup the reader for the bait and switch move. I hate that!

I'm so sick of all these wannabe "copywriters" jumping on the bandwagon of stuff that was in circulation 2 years ago and just because they joined some club or bought some outdated course all of a sudden they think this is standard protocol to promote your business.

XXYZ is a SCAM? Click here to see the lies your upline fed you on a silver platter!

{I could go out and use that right now to hammer a company in the spotlight}
But I'm Not Going To!

Bad economy or not - the marketing tactics being taught or perpetrated in some circles are soooo stupid I have a hard time comprehending how people don't see it.

NOW put the economy on top of that and the average person investigating mlm is bombarded with even more bullshit and more negativity here ... just as much as they get on tv when they come from work in the news, or their office email or the paper at the coffee shop.

Yeah like that's what they want to come home to.

Hey Joe ... quit your job and join me in the greatest scam of all time riddled with drama and steeped in controversy. I'll show you how to make a gajillion dollars in 30 days without ever having to talk to a single person!

I mean come on! Really? ... is it really all that much of a surprise that people are having a hard time building their businesses today with garbage like this being accepted as the norm?

What i find most ridiculous is the fact that behind the scenes, in all the meetings and all the webinars and all the training and blah blah blah, we're taught we're supposed to be a light for those seeking ... a beckon of hope. Yeah Right!

Tell me, honestly ... How Do Messages Like This Spread a Message of Hope and the Belief That Prosperity and Freedom are Actually Attainable With This Industry .... if everyone who is actually in this industry constantly presents it as a scam?!

I really hope everyone is listening.

But then again, who knows ... maybe Ron is right and you really can't fix stupid!

WOW, although I do have quite as strong as a opinion as Richard. I agree with him. We need more positivity in this industry. I would recommend switching the title to something like......

Your 7 biggest problems solved in Network Marketing
or
The 7 things you can do to EXPLODE your Network Marketing business today

I don't know, those are just two I thought of off the top of my head. Hope that helps...

Interesting,

While no one wants to look at the negative side of business, life, health, whatever, it exists, it is real, and it has to be dealt with if you ever hope to be successful in your life. Sorry, but I look at both sides of the industry, the good, bad and ugly, why, because it exists, it is real, it has to be understood and accepted, so yes, I would buy it, for you have no clue what you can learn by being educated from the views of those who hate this industry. You know the types, and you know the forums these people visit, but believe it or not, sooner or later you will have to deal with the issues these MLM haters will post about, so knowing the industry from both sides is essential to your success. Pretending the negatives don't exist is only fooling yourself.

Success to all, Mike

Just to clarify Sandeep, the anger in my comments wasn't being directed AT you.
My answer to your question was a simple no.

The rest was something I just needed to get off my chest in a general sense.
Hope you took that the right way.
