* Why I’m NOT getting this software

How are things? – good I hope,
I’ve had a busy week or so as usual
(I must have been bad in a former life…lol)

Anyways, I wanted to write and offer my opinion on
some new software that’s being promoted by many
of the bigger names…

In a nutshell – I’m not keen and will NOT be buying it!

It’s called Optin Accelerator, and it supposedly build a
massive list for you using the Tell A Friend (TAF)
principles, but taken a little further.

Now I’m sure some gurus will have great success with
it – but here’s my opinion.

Firstly there’s a great techy & legalities review on
Robert Planks blog…
http://www.robertplank.com/

If you keep reading after Robert initial post – he actually
details precise terms of service for each of the email
companies – that the script BREAKS too !!!!

Shocking ! - but I’m sure it’ll still do well for some?

My personal take is this though….
I would never consider allowing any script to grab my
contact lists from any of my email addresses !!

For one thing, Why do they seem to think that
everyone with a computer might be interested in
whatever money making scheme/site/program
they are promoting?????

I have my kids and social friends who have NO
interest in IM on my lists… and I’m sure they
would get pretty annoyed if they kept getting
emails (supposedly from me) telling them of
the latest site I filled a form it at!

In IM it’s far too easy to think the world revolves
around making money online, whereas some people
do have lives outside of IM …lol

Another point as to why I’ve never been keen on any
sort of TAF script:

IF – I subscribe and then go on to make a purchase
from a site – it’s rare that there would not be an
affiliate program….

Therefore – IF (and ONLY after) I have had chance to
go through the info I bought, I happen to think it is
of value…..

They why oh why would I fill in the TAF prior to all
the checking …. only to discover I’d like to recommend
the product but have no one left to refer….
because they all joined the marketers list via the TAF.

Therefore I’m losing potential commissions if I do like
the product AND I’m losing credibility if I don’t by
sending my contacts to the site of a product I end
up believing is crap !

Catch22 – easy solution — forget the TAF OR fill it
with fake or my own spare emails!

Feel free to make up your own mind, I just feel honour
bound to give what I believe to be best advice to anyone
I consider a friend or valued contact…

On Another level –
When I tried the $7 script on one product it came
installed with the TAF script….
After nearly 1000 sales, the TAF had sent out
54 emails … I wonder how many of those were legit?….
and how many ran to the site to make a purchase?

So from that point of view – it didn’t work as people
are lead to believe anyway.

So that’s my tuppence worth – and NO LINK due to
my beliefs and opinions!
