I normally don’t like giveaways, but this one is really simple, not a lot of stuff and the products are great, including my “Niche Marketing In Plain English” book.

Why do marketers take part in giveaways?

The answer is simple…to build their list.

However, if you’re going to get involved in a giveaway, you have to give prospects something of real value, otherwise the giveaway becomes meaningless. A list of unresponsive prospects (because they are disappointed in the product they got) does nobody any good.

It doesn’t do the list owner any good because he ends up with a totally unresponsive list and it doesn’t do the people on the list any good because they’ve just wasted their time on something that’s totally useless.

This may sound like common sense, but a lot of marketers don’t get it. They simply slap together a crappy report in order to get opt ins and then hammer these poor people with one sales pitch after another. It’s crazy.

So if you’re going to get involved in giveaways, give your list something of value and then don’t hammer them with one sales pitch after another.

Common sense?

Maybe…but something I wish a lot more people would use.

I have no doubt that PLF 2 is a great product. Jeff Walker is a genius marketer and I’d have to be reincarnated 10 times over to even have a chance to be in his league.

So why DIDN’T I buy PLF 2?

The reason is the biggest mistake that most start up marketers make and one that I learned NOT to make a long time ago.

How many times have you gone out and purchased that “can’t miss” product only to let it sit on your hard drive and collect dust?

Admit it…you and just about everybody else I know buys things and then never uses them. Some of them might actually be of some value, maybe tons of value.

Now, you’d probably think a successful marketer like myself WOULD use something this good.

Well, here’s the problem. See, my time is limited and I know that something this comprehensive isn’t going to be something I can sit down and learn in a night. It’s going to take tons of my time to put the principles into operation.

Time that I know I don’t have…not with everything that I am currently doing. So I have made a conscious decision NOT to buy PLF 2 because I don’t want to end up doing what so many marketers end up doing themselves.

I have no doubt that if you buy PLF 2, it will be a great investment, PROVIDED you use it. If you don’t, then it’s just $2,000 thrown in the trash.

I hope this helps somebody who is deciding whether or not to purchase PLF 2.

Oh, and you can’t purchase it from me. I’m not promoting it either.

I only promote things that I use.
