Mike, sorry in advance if this info is already available somewhere....
But are you going to post maybe a video walkthrough or even host a webinar to introduce JVNP 2.0?
Seems there are plenty of members here who would like to learn of the new pros/cons and how to best interact with the new community.
Keep me posted. My subscribers already know that this it the only forum I take part in these days. I'd be happy to further promote JVNP to them.
What personally I'd like to see as a community is more JVs moving into creative joint ventures that aren't tied to a product launch. Currently most JV related discussions here are still regarding an actual launch. Whereas I think there's a lot of room for creative "barter", asset sharing, co-reg and any other complimentary efforts as joint ventures. Not just "will you promote my launch for me". (Nothing wrong with that but I think it's just one prong of the whole JV arena).
Regardless... looking forward to what you've cooked up with JVNP2.
Oh and Garland story for having stolen your post, lol.
To answer your question...
Sure I've apologized and have been "real" with my subscribers. I can't remember when I did that last but I have no problems with admitting faults or owning up to mistakes.
I too only promote select vendors. And not just because they are friends (I have friends who are incredible human beings but they put out rehashed, hyped up junk offers unfortunately).. I promote the ones who have strong product lines. Even if I haven't used/checked each of their products, I've explore enough of them to be comfortable in endoring that merchant.
