There’s been a parallel debate regarding the value of Who Loves Money going on within two forums:

• The Warrior Forum, and
• WealthyAffiliate

A Warrior Forum member bought Who Loves Money, and within a couple of hours, had posted a review that slammed the book - stating that there was nothing new in the book - that all of the suggestions and tips could be gleaned by surfing the better forums - such as the Warrior Forum. Several other Warrior Forum members agreed with this - while WealthyAffilate members who also belonged to the Warrior Forum took an opposite viewpoint - stating that the book was a useful addition to Internet Marketing. They also queried how a useful review could be carried out within such a short space of time - as clearly none of the techniques had been tried out.

Another similar thread was also started in the forum of WealthyAffiliate - the membership site of the authors. The contrast? The members of this forum have been singing the praises of the book - and are already claiming results from some of the methods in the book.

Are they just being super loyal?

I don’t think so. The focus of this membership site is members making money - by building a solid dependable web business using the hands-on teaching of Kyle and Carson. I don’t think that the book would have got endorsements from practical, profit-focussed marketers if it didn’t have some useful money-making techniques that they weren’t already using.

One criticism raised in the Warrior Forum - there’s nothing new in the book vs. the sales copy which implies revolutionary methods. I do believe there are new slants on existing marketing methods - so have Kyle and Carson taken liberties in claiming these to be revolutionary. In the eyes of some - perhaps - but I think they are nitpicking.

One of the complaints most newbies make when joining an active forum - such as WA, WF, or Keyword Avalanche - is information overload. Not knowing where to start. Not knowing how to start. Being lost …

And finding gems is difficult. Even threads that diligent webmasters flag as Stickies have a mix of expert comment and newbie ‘oohs and aahs’ - so trawling through forum threads is very time consuming.

I like the fact that Who Loves Money is structured, illustrated (gee - we don’t see that much in forum threads), and shares real-world experiences of proven money-makers.

So - I intend to leave the Warrior Forum critical analysts to their endless trawling of threads (is their time not worth anything?), and will focus on using the clear, concise information in Who Loves Money to build my web business.
