    DON'T claim to know something if you DON'T know it! - Don't be this guy!

    Freelancers,
    Don't be this guy. Ever.

    DON

    As you can see. The topic is "How to create a retirement income" and even though he doesn't end the sentence with a question mark (?), it is indeed a question.

    In the post, you'll see a more "in-depth" sort of question, as he's asking for tips, pointers and directions towards something solid. (Wouldn't we all love to get spoon fed?)

    However, it's not done yet.. This guy is really "killing it".

    As you can see at the bottom of the screenshot, he promotes a product. An affiliate offer. - But what does the signature say? - "Click Here ---> To Learn How You Can Retire In 100 Days As A Super Affiliate..."

    Sure, I won't lie. He has a decent signature link but that's not the point here. The point is, WHAT the signature says. And what he promotes.

    This guy claims (according to his signature) to know how to retire in 100 days, as a "super affiliate". Yet, he's asking questions about that exact thing he claims to know.

    Isn't that a bit odd? - Don't claim to be good at something if you're not. It will come back and bite you.

    That title just sounds super scammy to me. The sound of retiring in 100 days is just incredible to good to be true! You know what they say about things that sound like they are to good to be true? That they usually are to good to be true in the end. This seems like one of those awesome self teach seminars that you can watch on YouTube. So many people out to make a quick buck they they will do almost anything to do it. The sad thing is that it works both ways, the clients also want to make a quick buck. With the same idea in mind as the potential clients its easy to con people out of money which is why so many people do it. I am glad that you exposed this guy for others to see. I agree with you 100% if you cant do something don't claim to be able to do it. If you care anything about your reputation and the rep of your company you will stick to what you know. The only exception to this rule is if you have someone who can do the work and you just hire them as a sub contractor. I don't really want to advertise that i hire someone else to do the work so i claim that i can do it but i have a guy. Networking is a key aspect to being able to do many things. This guy just seems like he took a course from someone who didn't know what they where talking about.

    I think he needs the thread to be related with his signature link for SEO reasons. But what he actually says there is pretty much retarded giving the fact that he put his own answer in the signature link.

    Andre, that's from warriors forum right? I hope those mods banned that guy, if they didn't, well that's why I always hated that forum!
    I never promoted 1 link there but managed to get banned nevertheless, for just saying stuff and having opinions, sure maybe getting into an argument with someone there, nevertheless, I didn't broke any rules.

    Yes it is quite stupid isn't it Cristian. If I am asking a question it is because I am wanting an answer to it. If I want to share something I will post a "how to" type of discussion.

    Yeah I am sure he will be banned soon, that is awful.

    Meeting the "ban-hammer" is actually quite common in this day and age. The same thing happened to me on digitalpoint and I've got warnings on WF due to "advertising", because I've mentioned SEOClerks in posts. (without links).

    Hmmm, to be fair, it could be that he does already know the answers to the questions he's asking about. That he's only asking them to "test the water" there so to speak. To see if anyone would answer him and to see what they would say. To see how knowledgeable people there are about that particular thing he's asking about. Also, he might already know some things about it such as the basics of it, how it sort of works or something, from something he read online or some course he took or something like that and is signed up to an affiliate for that type of thing and wishes to further his knowledge in that thing while being an affiliate for them on the WF forums.

    It looks to me like he's a bit of newbie I'm assuming? Well he has 2 posts so that answers that! But so he's probably just a newbie warrior that has just got on to WF for the first time and wants to be super popular and successful but doesn't understand the WF culture and is putting a foot wrong where angels fear to tread lol.

    But yeah, that is blatant what's going on there. He's a newbie that is just a newbie affiliate for some affiliate and is just posting to get a link to his site or maybe a couple clicks to his sig link. But yeah, asking about something which you are advertising in your sig isn't going to exactly fill people with much confidence in you or the affiliate thing you're punting in your sig.

    That's not the way to go about it. Especially on WF!

    When something is too good to be true, it probably is.
    That service looks unreliable and scammy. Not a good strategy to ask something and than precisely promoting the answer with ridiculous claims..
    That's not how the things work!
    Nowadays, it is usually very hard to make income online.
    Google monopoly does not help either...

    You are correct clerkboy3. However, most beginners nowadays are trying to use "fishy" tactics, because they fell for it themselves at one point.. It's sad, but it's the truth.

    LOL he is obviously just trying to push his own stuff. I see it all the time and like the other members have already said, even the title looks just scammy and low quality.

    I am so over all these people trying to pull moves like that. Retire in 100 days as an affiliate marketer? Honestly that is just ludicrous. Retire means you don't have to work anymore because you have enough money to live out your days comfortably right?

    How can anyone make enough money in any industry just starting out, to retire in 100 days?

    Scam alert anyone?

    This is one of the worst mistakes any freelancer can make while sourcing for the job. I understand that many do that simply because they believe that when they get the said job, they could be able to outsource to those that can do the work. But not knowing anything about the work that you're bidding on could be risky, or even if you outsource it to another freelancer, you might not be able to know if they put the best efforts in delivering the work to you.

    This reminds me of my earlier days in our office. One department manager who was the lecturer in one training seminar emphasized honesty. Our company is a bank and it is important to always be truthful in your dealings because if ever you tell a lie then the clients will not trust you anymore. And in any business, trust is very important. And claiming something that you don’t really know is an outright lie.
