With more and more people looking to make money online, marketplaces such as warrior plus are cashing in.
Warrior plus is one of several marketplaces that allows you to sell your own digital offers or promote other people’s offers as an affiliate.
If you come over to youtube alone and just type in warrior plus you’ll get tons of videos on:
- how to make money as an affiliate marketer
- how to make money online
- how to get approved as an affiliate
- how to make money with warrior plus
- how to promote warrior plus products etc
There are tons of these videos but if you’ve been around for any space of time you’ll know that most of the products on the platform are junk.
Note: Everything on this page is my personal opinion based on years of experience.
So why does the platform allow people to sell junk?
And why does it sell so well?
The Desire For Push Button
As humans, we prefer hacks, secrets, and loopholes over basic methods.
We’re all enamored with buzzwords like ‘viral,’ ‘autopilot,’ and ‘push button riches.’
But we know in the back of our thoughts that such things do not exist…
This doesn’t stop product developers from preying on our weaknesses with constant releases promising a ‘quick cure.’
The lure of easy and quick over hard and slow is difficult to resist.
And online vultures are ready for you with gimmicks galore over on online networks, such as Warrior Plus.
What Is Warrior Plus?
Warrior Plus is basically a marketplace.
It’s like a shop and this marketplace allows people to sell their own digital offers mainly in the make money/internet marketing niche.
And it also allows people to promote other people’s stuff as an affiliate and make a decent amount of money.
So that all sounds nice.
The home page is nice and well designed.
From my personal experience of using Warrior Plus in the past as both a vendor many years ago, and as an affiliate it’s very intuitive.
They do have decent support too if you get stuck, so first impressions are generally good.
But when we look into the kind of products that are sold…
And what they allow to happen on their marketplace we uncover a little bit of an uncomfortable truth about all of this stuff.
Physical Equivalents
Although I’m from the UK, I’ve lived in Japan for 20 years.
In Japan we have these shops called the 100 yen shop.
Everything is a hundred yen.
It’s really cheap and generally speaking the quality is not that great.
In the UK there’s Pound Stretcher.
In the USA, the Dollar store.
When you go into these shops you know you’re not buying quality.
But you’re only paying a ridiculously cheap amount so if the product ends up not being very good or breaking you’re not going to be bothered to go back and ask for your money back or a refund.
Warrior plus is like the equivalent online.
The only thing is if you wanted to sell your own physical product in the 100 yen shop or in pound stretcher you still have to jump through some hoops.
You can’t sell stuff which basically obviously doesn’t work.
Unfortunately because there are no hoops to jump through and anybody can put their product online to be sold on one of these networks it’s a green light for lots of scammers.
And people that just create gimmicks and lie about it on their sales pages to get money from unsuspecting folk.
Take Some Responsibility For Your Own Actions Too
It’s not just the network’s full and the seller’s fault the people that buy this stuff.
Junkies (buyers)need to take a little bit of responsibility.
If you wanted to learn how to play the guitar and you’d never picked up a guitar before you’re not going to be able to learn how to play the guitar to a good level in a couple of weeks.
Similarly if you wanted to learn how to cook or do any kind of skill that you weren’t good at you’re not going to be able to do it overnight.
The trouble is people see these products tell you you can press a button and money’s going to flow into your bank account and they actually believe it.
Common sense goes out of the window.
And they end up buying these products and these products are cheap you know ten dollars fifteen dollars so people’s mindset is what if it doesn’t work you know i’ve only lost ten dollars so it’s not a big deal.
But the trouble is most people will buy multiple times and they won’t make any money.
The person selling the product will make money.
And the network will make money.
As well as the other people online who are affiliates for these products who are telling you that it’s great when they know that it’s not.
Everyone wins apart from the customer.
Oftentimes these vendors will refuse to refund you or they’ll give you a guilt trip and basically blame you when they know full well that this stuff doesn’t work.
Unfortunately there’s no real watchdog on the whole industry.
Why These Awful Warrior Plus Products Exist
As you could see in the video, we have:
- Legal pages that do not work
- Fake testimonials
- Images of people who are not real
- Deceptive overload
- Misleading proof shots
- The list is endless
Sadly, most of of this ranting and raving falls on deaf ears.
Because when they realize that it actually takes work, effort, self-discipline and consistency they don’t want to know.
I still get emails almost every day saying things like,
look I like your video and I like what you’re saying but is there a quicker way is there an easier way because it sounds like a bit of work.
I know from that email that that person is doomed to failure and that the only way that that kind of person will ever make money is to join the ranks of people that sell rubbish online or promote other people’s rubbish.
It’s basically one big circle jerk of junk.
Why Are Warrior Plus Products So Bad, Yet Allowed To be Sold?
Well lots of these Warrior Plus products sell a lot of numbers.
And for every sale the network that they’re being sold on so will take a small commission or a small cut.
So it’s there’s a financial incentive to allow this stuff to be sold on their network.
It sells well, due to the hype the lies and the naivety of a lot of the customer base.
Imagine if somebody were to make a product and say:
This is the exact way to make money online but it’s going to take a lot of work a lot of effort on your part it’s not going to happen overnight.
It wouldn’t sell many copies because it would be too honest.
Because it wouldn’t sell many copies, affiliates wouldn’t want to promote that person’s product because they’re not going to make much money.
The networks are not going to push it because they’re not making money either.
The only people that are going to succeed are the few customers that buy it and follow the step-by-step process.
So it’s it’s kind of combination of everyone’s fault but again.
If the networks allow this stuff to be sold on them there’s not that much you can do apart from to stop buying it.
But It Gets Worse
The sad thing is if these products were true, why would you sell it for 10 or dollars or twenty dollars you’d use it yourself right?
And you’d be a multi-millionaire.
You wouldn’t package it up into a ten dollar deal.
With an upgrade to an upgrade 3 and upgrade 4.
A lot of the times you could have 10 15 upgrades.
It’s insane.
There were 30 offers in this funnel; it did not even fit on the screen.
All of the upgrades are more and more over the top than the previous one.
Refuse To Devalue Your Products
To me, selling your products on warrior plus devalues them.
It basically says my product is cheap it’s a bit crap that’s why i’m selling it here.
I don’t know of any super successful marketer that sells their own products on these platforms.
Sure, I know a few people whose products are ok and they sell on Warrior Plus but they are exceptions.
By successful, I mean someone who does not make money solely from launching and promoting affiliate offers to their new ‘buyers’.
There are plenty of reputable places or shopping carts you can use to sell products.
An Analogy
The best analogy that I can use to describe this whole situation is the drug dealer and the junkie.
The junkie is the customer they keep buying this stuff that isn’t going to help them but they’re desperate for their next fix.
They don’t want to listen to people that are trying to help them or trying to you know give them good quality stuff that’s going to move them forward.
They just need that fix.
And the drug dealers know that.
They know that there’s a desperate market out there and they’re more than prepared to sell this stuff to them because they know the amount of money that can be made.
And sadly a lot of people when they go to make money online they realize that there’s so much money to be made and they too join the drug dealers in selling this stuff.
It hurts everybody else but it benefits them.
So, people are probably gonna say well who can you trust online?
Unfortunately from my experience and i’ve been doing this since 2012 i could count the number of people that i trust on one hand.
Granted i don’t know everybody and i’m not in every niche.
But you’ve got to look at this stuff with common sense if you want to make money online.
You’ve got to learn skills.
You’ve got to build up something.
Making money online is simply finding a problem that a group of people have in any niche and then offering them a solution whether it be your own products or affiliate products.
And doing it ethically and the right way so the products that you recommend whether they’re yours or somebody else’s actually work.
And if you do that then the next time you come to recommend a product that solves a problem people are going to trust you.
I haven’t done a proper product launch for ages but whenever I promote something as an affiliate I generally win the competition or I’m high up.
Because people trust what I say.
They know that I’m not trying to make a quick buck by promoting some junk on Warrior Plus.
And i’ll actually choose something that I believe will actually help them.
Sometimes that product doesn’t have the best sales page.
Nor the most enticing sales copy but it works and the person that made it is a decent honest legitimate vendor.
You can feel good about making money.
