It will be foolish of any internet marketer to be oblivious of what the bloggers and twitters and everyone else giving bad comments about his sales letter. And I think Joel Comm is pretty much experienced in handling such matter as it is all about customer service here. He has created a reputation of himself for being the Adsense Guy. He has been portraying himself as the nice guy. And he has got himself into trouble with his unforeseen copywriting style of leaving out his recurring cost of $29.95 per month. This is a follow-up of my previous blog post about joel comm scam website.
Until now, I have not cancelled my membership of paying $29.95 per month. Since he has the intention to let me see what he has to got, I will be more than welcome to check out that free issue of Top 1% report. Perhaps it is really good stuff since he is paying off his pocket to have his report delivered all the way to Singapore for me to review. I am one who is open to opportunities so long as it is investing on my focus – that is to be an internet reviewer.
I do appreciate people who offer to give a bait for me to hook on before I got myself emotionally attached. But his previous method – of not showing the hidden cost of paying $29.95 every month in his Product Order Information table at checkout – is simply making me like a fool like what Mark from 45n5.com mentioned in his blog post. And yes, he did mention it somewhere outside the ordering table which I missed it and was warned by Mark.
Now when I see his apology page in adsense secrets website, I really appreciate his way of handling this matter. And he is handling it very professionally by writing a web copy of apologizing to the public. He is also going to donate the initial $9.95 sales to charity. Kudos to Joel for doing it so professionally.
You can now see that his order page is showing that $29.95 per month which was previously somewhere else.
He also shows the two options in his sales letter to let you take your appropriate order.
Now, things are clearer in the sales letter of what it has in store for us.
Over at Mark’s update on Joel Comm screwed up in his adsense secrets, I can understand how Mark’s blog readers would react in their comments. There are several points of view about Joel Comm’s reaction… Some good, some bad. Well in fact, there is always a publicity being spread around the Internet whether it is good or bad. So long as you are talking about Joel Comm, he will be on the news everywhere.
If you have been in business long enough, you will understand that there is a common secret behind every entrepreneur who started up their own business. First of all, so long as you are talking about him, it will be fine without caring whether you are talking good or bad. Because there is such a saying “When things get worse, something overwhelmingly good will happen if you know how. And when things are good, there is almost nothing to make it better supernaturally.” In fact, I read something similar from bible to get this inspiration. And interestingly, the bible also indicates that it’s not about being a bad guy to create bad things on purpose that will become good later. In this case, Joel Comm has mistakenly trying a sales letter which is probably a new copywriting style he is adopting.
If anyone who is not as experienced as Joel Comm to handle such a negative feedback from bloggers, he might be left in the blank not knowing what to do next. Or probably, he will just give up this project. Or even to quit the whole business. A businessman must be able to solve problems as it comes along. And the solution must be able to help the business. And by the way if there is no problems, there will be no business to do anymore…
Well, thanks Joel again for the clearing up.
