Making money with amazon warrior forum

One More Cup of Coffee. There are a lot of places to get information on internet marketing, but one of the most famous internet marketing forums out there is The Warrior Forum, often just called WF because it's so famous. So, an internet marketing newbie, should you pay attention to what's happening over there? Who would benefit most from either the free version of WF or the paid version called the War Room?

The Warrior Forum is a useless regardless of price, and following the advice you find within their pages could do some serious damage to your website or business.

Quite surprisingly, most of the information in the forum is in the free membership. I'll cover what's in the paid membership below, but in the free version you get access to most topics like Social Media, Offline Marketing, Internet Marketing, Ecommerce, SEO, Email Marketing, and some other stupid sections like Growth Hacking and Mind Warriors.

All in all, there's about 30 different sections, and about which might be of use to you on a regular basis. There is definitely an international vibe within WF, which is fine by me, but a significant portion of the questions and comment I found were from non-native English speakers.

This compounds the issue that the information or questions they were asking were either spam, repeats, or begging for help. I work with newbies all the time, and when you are in a newbie friendly zone, I take these types of questions in stride. Everyone has to start somewhere, so I try to never make someone feel stupid for asking easy or even silly questions. However, when you are purporting to be the most essential internet marketing forum today, to me, this is not acceptable.

Create a newbie zone and stick those questions in there. Again, this information is perhaps useful to someone that needs a bit of inspiration, or is just dipping their toes into the internet marketing world.

But for a complete newbie to really make money online, you need extremely detailed step by step guides, with some kind of support, be it via a forum, a private mentorship, or some kind communication with someone s who has done it before. As a matter of fact, I found it difficult to find any legit information source about anything at all. Granted, I only browsed for about a hour or so and am not familiar with everything about how the site works.

Perhaps there is something I missed, but the vast majority of what I saw was something I would consider a complete waste of time. They are often created by serial product pushers, people that come out with a new sensational internet marketing product every few months.

So first off, most of what you'll find in WSOs are just junk that will not actually make you any money. Of those that are legitimate guides, many are rehashed information that can be bought as part of other courses or has been discussed numerous times before on blogs for free. Of the stuff that's not crap, and that is actually unique, you still run into the problem of not having sufficient support.

But I've yet to see anything that I honestly believed would serve as a guide to teaching a newbie how to make decent money online. This is a relatively new section to the forum, and at time of writing of this post, there were about WAMAs.

This is a decent idea, and if they can continue this every week, it might be worth attending these sessions. Sometimes it's helpful to see what the pros are doing, how they do it, and how it can improve your current business. For a new or pre-intermediate online marketer, this might not be a big deal. But as you grow as an online marketer you have to carve out your own path and start deciding when to whose advice. Forum signatures, in case you didn't know, are the little bits of added below each persons comment in a forum.

It might say have a quote that describes them, or a link to their website. It used to be a way to gain backlinks to your website. The idea behind an image is that it grabs the attention of the reader as they are scrolling through the comments. In a place where EVERYONE is selling something, your image is bound to get lost among the other junk found in WF, and people are so numb to self-promotion on this site, that any traffic that image might drive to your site will be people just investigating the competition.

As a new member, this is a waste of money both for the traffic and the backlink. I would love to hear an logical explanation for this. OK OK, so I've added this section because I went back later this evening and noticed a few changes from this afternoon. First off, the lack of replies and activity I saw in the afternoon was because they were fresh questions, with just a few views. So, I will admit that the forum is active.

I didn't check all topics, and all replies, but I was still very unimpressed with what I saw. This is the paid section of WF, and it's just as bad as the other parts. Wait, maybe it's worse because I had to pay to get in. You can see from this screenshot that inside the War Room is essentially people giving away junk products. I expected to see the secret area for experts and successful internet entrepreneurs to discuss real topics related to their internet marketing businesses.

I wanted to see real questions being asked, with intelligent discussions to follow. If you couldn't tell, I'm not a fan of this place. I think it will confuse and mislead the majority of newbies to internet marketing, and if you start there, you may end up on a path that is hard to come back from. I think a lot of folks that get wrapped up in the culture surrounding WF are on a mission to find that one product that will guarantee success, and that one legit guru who will finally live up to what he promises.

If you are an intermediate marketers that want to expand their knowledge, have tons of time, and know the difference between BS and legit info, give it a try. There are some legit people that hang out there, and you may be able to benefit from some of the discussions that take place.

However, I think there's a lot more substantial information to be found on blogs where people dedicate their days to writing high quality information about how to build your business. Some legit guys to follow are. With the wealth of information that these guys provide, I will not be seeking any advice from WF any time soon.

And even though these guys are super smart and you can learn a lot from them, I still don't advice that newbies jump into that zone just yet. If you don't have a website yet or don't even know what you business is going to be, you need to start with baby steps.

This is why I recommend Wealthy Affiliate , the same place that taught me how to build my very first online business, and supported me along the way, making me into a full time internet marketer. I don't believe you will find much benefit from a membership at WF. At some point in time maybe a few years ago this was THE forum for internet marketers. Now, it's basically a place for people to sell products and exercise their baby guru muscles.

Recently, WF was sold to Freelancer. I hope that Freelancer is able to get inside the forum, clean out the junk, make some new rules, and reinvent what The Warrior Forum is supposed to be — a place for internet marketers to discuss, interact, and learn about their craft. If not, this place is doomed to continue down the path which it's already on, and become completely irrelevant in the near future. What do you think? Am I way off base and missing the whole point of the forum?

There was a thread in WF recently about Wealthy Affiliate, the main forum I participate in.

The Secret to Making Money on Warrior Forum

Someone asked if WA was a legit company etc etc. Some trash talking went on, then a few people chimed in with positive reviews of WA.

DO NOT believe that these guys have any interest in your wellbeing at all. September 14, at 6: I want to cry. September 14, at 8: Thanks for stopping by Obama. March 19, at 1: Furthermore, Freelancer — the recent new owner of the warrior forum — itself is a scam run by assholes.

June 2, at 9: June 2, at EVERYONE is saying how great they are doing and how their site will do wonders for you, but why does that ALWAYS fail? Some people claim success with only 30 minutes a day HA! For me it seems the only way IM would work for me is if I could pay someone else to do the IM work for me! My best advice is that you have to pick something and stick with it. The path from beginner to success is rarely a straight line. Personally, I found my version of success at Wealthy Affiliate.

It took me 18 months to quit my job and go full time online. Have you ever stuck with one product for 18 months? March 24, at Yes there is a lot of what you describe in your post but there is also a lot of good information and solid advice on that specific sub-forum.

Honestly, I was quite disgusted by the low quality content I found in the forum, but maybe I should spend more time sifting through to find some gems.

March 8, at 5: December 16, at 4: I first found that forum in and it was really a good place to start for newbies. But later when I found Wealthy Affiliate thanks to Nathaniell and started writing reviews for different products I had found that Warrior forum defended every crappy product while lying about good ones.

December 16, at 5: They are very much motivated in their actions by earning revenue from people advertising their WSOs. Outright scams are allowed to be advertised on their site because those scammers pay fees.

Guru schemes — one after another! November 4, at I for one have fallen prey to the shiny objects and snake oil pitches, some of which are tinged with broken English. As you mention in your post there are the occasional nuggets of information you can glom onto, but they are few and far between.

I have since taken a firm stance against the theives and crooks on WF and dedicated a blog to debunking the BS and helping the new Internet Marketer see through the fog.

It is still in its infancy but will be growing in content quickly WF provides plenty of that! It is more or less a money making hobby. November 4, at 2: I actually talked to a guy from WF some manager or mod or something last week and showed him some very clear examples of scams being run on WF.

He acknowledge that they were low quality, and a month later, they are still up. June 20, at They also practice censorship. I posted a negative review on a product I purchased on the WF — only to have it removed by the owners.

The new owners are going to have a BIG job cleaning up the site from the enormous amount of b. I was about to delete my account…. June 20, at 9: I have read about their censorship stuff too. Someone spotting a scam in an WSO or questioning the validity of some of the info they find, only to wake up the next day banned!

June 19, at 5: Not only is this a bold and yet disgusting effort to try to get more money out of their community, it is another way for an already spam and promotion filled community to subtly encourage more promotions.

If you are new and starting out, it is good to be part of a community and one where you can help. The problem is when there is motives behind anyone that is helping you out, you are going to be in for a long journey to get a proper answer. I think that is the key word here. June 20, at 5: People that learn here end up just as their mentors were. That takes too much time! That takes too much money! June 19, at 4: Interesting review on Warrior Forum.

I use to frequent the WF many, many years ago when I first started online. But back then the WF did have value, it was a good place to get information and legitimate services. But over the years the WF has declined and has slowly and steadily attracted more and more inferior products and services, not to mention the multitude of mis-informed people handing out bad and sometimes dangerous advice that can harm a persons online business.

There is absolutely no value offered at the WF any more. Without the skill set to recognize all of the garbage products, service and especially advice that is in the WF — a newbie can easily and they do end up spending a lot of money on products and services that will just end up setting them back in their online career.

You could not pay me to go there ever again. And after reading your review you have confirmed why. Glad that someone agrees with me. But the most disappointing aspect was the paid members area which kind of sealed the deal on my negative review. They have a real potential to be a force within the internet marketing community. They have the recognizable name, but they let quality suffer in the name of profit namely the WSOs.
