Well actually I think it would but that post brought up some interesting discussion. It&#8217;s clear to see that listing a Warrior Special Offer using PayPal as a payment processor can put your account at risk and here&#8217;s why. Imagine this scenario?<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve been doing well online, putting around $500 &#8211; $1000 through your PayPal account each month. Things are looking good and your business is growing each month.<\/p>\n<p>You then decide you want to create a Warrior Special Offer to teach others your skills. So you list your offer and set up an affiliate program, your Warrior Special Offer becomes a huge success and makes WSO of the day and you generate $10,000 in sales within 48 hours.<\/p>\n<p>You are celebrating, you&#8217;ve made it, this is it, the big one, champagne all round, let&#8217;s book a vacation, I think I&#8217;ll look at buying a new car, the new iPad 3, woooo hoooo.<\/p>\n<p>Later that day you login to your PayPal account to check your balance only to be greeted by this message &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; Your PayPal account has been limited.<\/p>\n<p>Why would this happen? Well first of all if you&#8217;ve just gone from a $50 day to a $10,000 day flags will be raised as PayPal want to know what&#8217;s up. There&#8217;s a chance you&#8217;ll have some refund requests as you&#8217;ve just processed a ton of sales and you may even have the odd charge-back, and at this moment in time PayPal have no idea what&#8217;s going on. So it&#8217;s inevitable that a member of staff will check this out.<\/p>\n<p>And what do they see? An outrageous title, crazy income claims, promises of instant success and automated wealth, (yes, I know not all WSO&#8217;s are like this but many are) and a payment button that tracks back to an Internet Marketing forum. <strong>Put yourself in the reps shoes, what would you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of course you would limit the account pending further investigation.<\/p>\n<p>This is happening time and time again because so many WSO sellers are too inexperienced to know better. They don&#8217;t think for a second that they may be breaking PayPal&#8217;s TOS. In fact most WSO&#8217;s are breaking at least one of PayPal&#8217;s terms by not having a privacy policy in place.<\/p>\n<p>This is where the problem lies, most Warrior Special Offers don&#8217;t go through any form of approval process, you could be making tons of mistakes and you would never know and the first you would know about it is when PayPal terminate your account. It&#8217;s a very dangerous game to play.<\/p>\n<p>So how can we stop this happening? Well the simple solution is to use ClickBank.<\/p>\n<p>I have already given you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/10-reasons-why-clickbank-is-the-perfect-platform-for-warrior-special-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\">10 reasons why ClickBank is the perfect platform for WSO&#8217;s<\/a> and there is one reason I actually forgot about, here it is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When you list a product via ClickBank it has to go through an approval process.<\/strong> This reason alone is a reason to use ClickBank, they will tell you if you need to change any income claims, titles, statements, testimonials and in fact anything else that may be against their terms.<\/p>\n<p>However, once your product is approved you are free to list it on the Warrior Forum as a Warrior Special Offer<\/p>\n<p>But John, how do I list a WSO using ClickBank?<\/p>\n<p>Simple, you invest a measly $10 in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.warriorforum.com\/warrior-special-offers-forum\/496401-dont-list-another-warrior-special-offer-without.html\" target=\"_blank\">WSO Domination<\/a>. This walks you through everything you need to know, step by step.<\/p>\n<p>With more and more people losing their PayPal accounts people are looking for a solution, ClickBank is the solution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remember where you heard it first.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was browsing the Warrior Forum, getting my daily fix of information when I came across this post that suggested banning PayPal from the Warrior Forum, meaning no more Warrior&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-internet-marketing","category-wso-training"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2rQRH-rf","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1689","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1689"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1689\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1689"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1689"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.johnthornhill.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
