4 years on BHW - What have I learned

Inspirational story OP, brought a tear to my eye.

What more did you want?

A freaking cherry on top?

He's just ranting which is fine. Everyone gets frustrated when you have to waste so much time and money sifting through rubbish and trying things that are garbage as well.

I know and I understand how he feels. We all get like that from time to time.
 
100% agreed.
11) Methods shared in public get saturated within a week.
 
I came here expecting inspiration, however I'm still not disappointed.

However, however, I'm pretty sure you could copy paste your post onto any IM forum and it would still apply.
 
I have always adhered to the belief that it is much more productive
to focus on SOLUTIONS - not PROBLEMS. All I see on this thread
are mainly COMPLAINERS. BHW is not a "perfect" forum. There are
no "perfect" forums, but the staff works VERY HARD to make BHW
the BEST forum that we possibly can.

That is all I have to say . . .

"Wiz"
 
I hear you OP. But BHW has been great to me, got ups and downs but it changed my life :) I'm gonna be 4 years in this forum on November :)

More powers to BHW! :clap2:
 
OP needs a hug!!!

So its been 4 years now, what have I learned ?
  • Most people that sell services are just in it for the money, feeding off the enormous (and ever growing) pool of newbies that are 'chasing the dream'. They couldn't care less if you actually rank or make money. Most of them probably haven't even ranked their own sites with the techniques they are selling.


Absolutely True ! I have had same experience even a very reputed member whom i approached for a service.
He never sent me reports for 6 months ! He was actually about to refund 500 USD + 20% of 500 USD of another site

Which he never did.. He failed to put any movement on a site 1 year old :D not any keyword honestly not even 90 Monthly searches.

He wasted my time and money for 6 months long.. with no reports of my work at all.. I thought better take it as a lesson rather than opening a shit list.

The ShitList is also there to protect other members.
How many people are still buying from that seller and probably think the same as you?
I bet you didn't even leave a bad review did you?
The only people helped in that situation are the people selling crap as they can continue to milk the noobs.
Not having a pop at you mate, but I think we ALL need to be vocal about the quality and promises/claims made by sellers.

I couldn't because the same person has something called Limited spot and closes the thread before leaving any review..
If i post about my dirty experience about this extremely popular member.. on this new thread.. 90% of the member wont believe me..

I do not have call recordings.. but i have mails.. and skype chats.. in the end .. i still do not want to go into the shit list and fight over him..
the site i used for (didn't get refund) my friend's site (whom i pulled it in) managed to get refund for that.. i felt responsible for his irresponsibilities..

OK Mate, fair enough. Just hope I am never unlucky enough to buy from the same guy.
 
So its been 4 years now, what have I learned ?


  • Never go on BHW IRC expecting to get any kind of help
  • 90% of information on BHW hasn't been tested, is made up or is hysterical whining
  • Most people that sell services are just in it for the money, feeding off the enormous (and ever growing) pool of newbies that are 'chasing the dream'. They couldn't care less if you actually rank or make money. Most of them probably haven't even ranked their own sites with the techniques they are selling.
  • 99% of internet marketing guru's are full of shit
  • The best place on BHW nowadays is the shitlist section (solideducational value there on how not to be scammed + lots of lulz + OldSalt handles everything like a boss)
  • Anyone with "SEO secrets" is never going to share this in a method, ebook or on this forum because - WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU? Think about it... (*awaits shitstorm about people that give back to the community*)
  • Ignore people that lick your ass and overuse the word sir
  • The JR VIP section is a club for people with a blue name
  • All the fun is on IRC

That's about it, needed to get that off my chest. For all the people expecting a sentimental story on how i went from rags to riches or something, sorry!


lmao. I love you, sir, sir sir sir.

Suggest me friends how I rank my tech blog #1 in Googles.

ETA: agree on the Shit List section too. I love reading the Skype convos.
 
Then it,Not your cup of tea... Here 4yrs even if you are not trying to achieve the impossible you are not trying hard enough


(If you know what you're worth, Go out and Get What Your Worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits. And not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that." )
 
love the post, couple of points

1 - if i had written that ide be sent on holliday lol
2 - where not all about the money, some of us do work hard for what we do
3 - for every guru theres an idiot, and most proclaimed gurus are so
4 - i only kiss my own ass, never anyone else, its an acquired taste
5 - i dont do clubs, circles , clicks, there usually full of idiots.
6 - if it talks sht, looks like sht, smells like sht, it probably is.
 
Wow, just joined, looking forward to learning like you did!
 
Sir, you know Blumpkin is going to crucify this post, divide it into quotes, and remind you and everyone
else of it for months?
