Throw out the baby with the bathwater… Wikipedia definition of the expression….
Throw out the baby with the bath water is an idiomatic expression
used to suggest an avoidable error in which something good is
eliminated when trying to get rid of something bad, or in other
words, rejecting the essential along with the inessential.
Fits perfectly for what I want to blog about today
You really like the Warrior Forum?
The Warrior Forum sucks! I get that a lot.
I’ve been an active member of the Warrior Forum for several years. I joined the forum in 2006 and it’s been instrumental to my Internet marketing success.
If you’re not familiar with the Warrior Forum, it’s the leading Internet Marketing forum online.
The forum has it’s detractors and of course there are problems with members that are shoddy, shady,
and some flat-out fraudsters.
I’ve also heard from folks who are taken aback and intimated by it since it can get rough going in the forums at times (lots of egos clashing from the comfort of their computer monitors).
I’ve been given the stink eye by some folks at meetups and live events because I stand by it as a great place to learn Internet Marketing.
A lot of folks get turned off by some of the shenanigans and BS that goes around but you’re throwing the baby out with the bathwater by writing off the entire forum as being full of scammers, fraudsters, and hype-mongers.
Just like any part of life, there are good people and there are bad people.
When I was a Corporate drone, there were back-stabbers, folks who kissed the bosses butt and then kicked down to those under them. Folks who bluntly stole ideas. Lied to clients and customers. There was an accounts payable rep embezzled over a million dollars. And on and on. And this was just in companies I worked for before striking it out on my own. But most of my co-workers were great people.
The Warrior Forum is the same way. You’ll find a lot great people who are willing to help as well as some shady characters.
The WSO Transformation
If you’ve been to the Warrior Forum’s famed WSO (Warrior Special Offer) section you’ve noticed that it has gone a tremendous transformation in 2011.
Yes, there is a lot of hype and junk there but there are also some great offers at ridiculously cheap prices.
The WSO section is becoming it’s own little powerhouse. Even big name Internet marketers are now promoting WSO’s and creating their own WSO’s.
It’s funny, many people who dissed the Warrior Forum as being full of whiners, etc. are now flocking to it. I guess the smell of money can change their attitudes.
I’m not going to lie, it’s been hard for me to accept the recent changes of the WSO section. It used not just be a place to go make money from but to test your products before releasing to the general people. To test and learn your marketing chops. And also to just give back to the community by offering a special discount for just Warriors. But the changes are here and it’s only going to get bigger in 2012. Far too large to ignore.
But that’s a good thing for you, as a consumer. Bottom line, you will find some awesome products as WSO’s, usually priced for way less than $20. Don’t focus on the “make a million dollars in your pajamas without having to work” crap. Not just in the WSO forum but anywhere, ClickBank, et al. But if you look closely and pay attention you will find gold nuggets there that will help you make money online.
So don’t discount the Warrior Forum or the WSO’s… don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater!
What do you think? Love it? Hate it?

You’re right Alan. The Warrior Forum has gone through a massive change in the past year and I think it will get bigger and better in 2012.
The WSO section has always been lucrative, but with one time offer and the ability for affiliates to promote you with one click makes for an irresistible opportunity going forward.
Hope to see you there
