I Hate The Warrior Forum!
If I could have $1 for every time I’ve hear that statement in one form or another, I’d be sipping cool drinks with umbrellas in them on a warm beach instead of putting up with another Alberta winter!
But why is this? What are the problems with the Warrior Forum? Well, I’ll leave that conversation up to the naysayers but I wanted to touch on a couple of the best attributes of this Internet marketers’ forum.
If you are interested in form of Internet marketing, you owe it to yourself to get very acquainted with this online forum.
Excellent Products
First and foremost, you’ll find many excellent products released as WSO or Warrior Special Offers on this forum. There are a lot of duds too but if you want to find diamonds you have to be willing to dig through a lot of dirt!
I personally purchase probably close to 20-30 WSO’s every month. I want to know what other’s are learning and doing to monetize their efforts and I’ve gotten some very excellent advice from many of these.
I am a firm believer that if you want to become an expert in a field, you have to be willing to invest whatever you have to become better in your field. I can tell you from experience, that my skill set as a marketer in general has gotten tenfold better because of these excellent WSO’s.
Excellent Discussions
There are also many subsections on the forum where you’ll find discussions on a wide range of topics. From technical programming details to ‘what’s up?’
In particular, I’d recommend that you consider becoming a member of the ‘War Room’ on the forum. Many products are pre-released within the War Room for free to those members.
Get involved in the discussions. Don’t be afraid to start a few of your own. Just don’t be surprised if no one answers! It does happen at times, but be persistent.
Strong Relationships
Finally and probably the best reason to make good use of this forum is to foster strong relationships with others who share your interests.
Let me offer you an example. I was curious about starting up an article directory service so I sought out others who had walked this path before me.
Before long, I found another member who had run an article directory for better then five years and told me a ton of information that they wish they had known in the beginning.
The information was truly invaluable! From there, I’ve developed a strong relationship with this other person as we share a like passion in article directories.
I’ve done the same on many occasions. These wonderful people not only help me out each and every day, they keep me honest too.
You see, it’s easy to say, I’ll get that done by Friday. Well, Friday comes and goes and someone will pipe up and say, ‘so, why aren’t you done yet?’ You did promise yourself to be done by now!
Soon you’ll find that you’ll be keeping your deadlines to ensure you succeed.
Not only that, when you have a down day, it’s wonderful to chat with one of these friends and have a good old fashion chat with them. Soon, you’ll be feeling better and re-energized to take on the battle once again to climb one step higher.
Are You Involved?
So, do you want to succeed? Don’t make it any harder. Get involved on this wonderful forum.
Purchase great information, share great information and foster fantastic relationships. As a matter of fact, I look to meeting you there!

I’ve been a member of WF for quite some time… incredible! I’ve learned tons of info, and earned hundreds of dollars thanks to WF.

Totally agree Marian,
Even thought I don’t agree with all the politics on the Warrior Forum, I to have made $$$ through there from advice and sales.
Frank
I love the WF, so I just had to check out this post. Actually, if it wasn’t for that forum, I could probably accomplish things! No, seriously, the people are great, the WSO’s are great, I have asked questions that had me stumped and had answers in minutes. It’s a great place…….unless you are trying to get some work done..then you just gotta make yourself stay away!
HI
Some great advice in your post.. and I also have been a member of the warrior forum for a long time… and it has taught me a great deal about internet marketing, but one of the best things is the networking you can do with like minded people..
it is a great place for seasoned marketers and newbies alike.
Just one tip I can give is don’t spend all your time there.. it is easy to do, and you will find you not get anything done… it happened to me and a lot of members when they first got started.
It’s like going to Church among elders you learn from and others you ignore. The value is there and the good far outweighs the bad. See? Just like Church!
Excellent comments folks and I totally agree with you! I to believe that the warrior forum offers a ton of value to the internet marketer.
Thanks for your comments on my blog!
Frank
The Warrior Forum is a great place for all in IM especially Newbie’s. The Forum helps keep you update with what’s going on in the world of IM. I for one love it because I always go away from the forum having learnt something new… now that can’t be a bad thing can it!
Hi Catherine,
Thanks so much for your comment! Totally agree with what you’ve said.
Frank
Thanks for your comment!
You are correct in regards to spending too much time on the warrior forum. Like all great things, moderation is the key!
Thanks for your comments on this post!
Frank
My concern with the Warrior Forum centers around their strict policy of no free speech. I also recognize that although one can find a worthwhile WSO from time to time, most WSOs are complete duds, just rehashed old content. Also, the WSO system is fraught with deceit and dishonesty.
There is a clique of a few WF members who scratch each others’ backs (testimonials, WSO bumping and more) when launching products and WSOs on the Warrior Forum. Newbies and veterans alike are victimized by these misleading offers.
Should a WF member be scammed and swindled by another WF member, are you aware the victim is prohibited from revealing the thief or warning others about him on the WF? Should he do so, the WF will ban the victim and allow the scam artist to continue stealing unchecked. This is the anti free speech policy of the Warrior Forum. Obviously it censors the free exchange of ideas but more importantly, it fosters a climate of deceit, deception and theft on the Warrior Forum.
Thanks for your information Chuck – as the old saying goes, buyer beware! I myself have seen good and bad wso’s and on the bad ones, I’ve asked the author directly for a refund. If that doesn’t surfice, then I will normally contest the purchase with paypal.
But there is a lack of good resources out there and the warrior forum seems to be a hub of this info. Unfortunately it also draws the snake oil too.
Frank
The primary purpose of the Warrior Forum is to make money for the owners and for those who wish to sell “products” to other marketers. Nothing particularly wrong with this, just an observation.
I visit there and try to glean any “free” bits of information possible, but most threads and replies tend to be attempts to push a WSO.
I would disagree that this is a *good* place for a neophyte. Chances are greater that they will receive either bad advice or some sort of sales pitch than that they will get a good answer to a basic question. Another problem is that too many would-be marketers who have found no success often end up here looking for magical answers… and there are more than enough sellers there willing to peddle their “sure fire” solutions for a price.
Hey Mike,
You know, I totally agree with you. But unfortunately there’s a ton of garbage when you are looking for gold. I think one of the very best uses for the warrior forum is to build relationships with like minded people. I’ve learnt a ton from other warriors as fellow marketers.
And yes, as time goes on, seems that the warrior forum is more and more for the sale of goods and less and less the good of sales.
Thanks for your comment on why I hate the warrior forum!
