The response to the Doctrine has been incredible.
The emails flooding my inbox and the comments on this blog have been truly heartwarming.
Every single positive message I’ve received means a lot to me… especially since the message in the Doctrine 2 is so controversial.
I want you to know that I feel really strongly about what I wrote in the Doctrine 2 about the need for marketing and marketers to change.
That’s why I am posting this petition….
It’s time that we band together and tell “old-school” marketers to STOP IT. Because we’ve all HAD ENOUGH!
It’s time to clean up marketing, improve our response rates and be liked by the rest of the world. Because right now, marketers are Public Enemy #1.
Won’t you help me clean up marketing? All you got to do is read the petition, and then digitally sign it by commenting “I Agree”.
So, read on, my friend… and do what you think is right.
3 Review and Sign Our Petition To Stop Deceptive and Annoying Marketing
Petition: To Clean Up Marketing and Advertising
We’re Fed Up And We’re Not Going To Take It Anymore
Dear “Old-School” Marketer
We’ve had it with you – and now, We’re going to get our revenge: By hitting you below the belt …… In your big, fat, bulging wallet!
From this day on, We will never again open one of your brain-dead e-mails promising to make us a millionaire by next Thursday.
We will never again click the ads shouting outrageous claims you’ve plastered all over Google and the other search engines or the banners you stick all over our favorite sites.
If, by some accident, we should ever find ourselves on one of your sales pages – a page that offers unbelievable claims and mindless hype but nothing of value – we will click that little “X” in the upper-right-hand corner of our browser faster than you can blink your eye.
And that’s not the worst of it. Not by a long shot. Because if you insist on continuing to talk to me and other good people like we’re fools, we will also warn every friend on our contact list and everyone we chat with online about you.
Heck, we might even tell the entire world what we really think of you by blogging about your deceptive tactics.
Because we’re on to you: we now know that you need our attention and ultimately our money far more than we need anything you’re selling.
So if you want these things from us, you’re going to have to work for them.
Reward us for our attention by giving us practical, actionable information or advice or other things that make our life better before you ask me to buy anything.
Earn our friendship and our respect and we’ll learn to trust you.
And of course … as we all know … once we trust you, we can make you rich.

I Agree!
Very true and very useless information! How about what needs to be done. We all recognize the problem and we need solutions.
I Agree!
Yes, sir I agree wholeheartedly!
I Agree
I agree totally!
I agree totally.
I Agree
I AGREE
I agree with you Rich. Well done for another great initiative.
I agree wholeheartedly as I have already been doing what you suggest for the last 18 months!
I Agree
I agree strongly
Mr Marketeer ‘Your Yesterday’s news’…bring on the new regime of trust and credibility on line!!!
The video and petition combination illustrate, and influence, a good taste and tone. Thanks Rich.
I agree.
“I Agree” but still need to know how 2.0 will help me sell my new Marriage Handbook. Can anyone help me? I don’t even know how to blog yet.
You and me both. Being an idealist with no tech knowledge is a bummer!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You
I agree and support your initiative in bringing some semblance of rationality into the wild world of deceptive Ads. Over a century back, when the world had a small crowd of College educated Businessmen and thier Sales Teams, there was a need for this kind od marketing. But the tactic has outlived its utility.Time to give it a fair burial!
I agree.
I agree.
I’m still broke.
I’m still in debt.
I definitely agree.
I Very Strongly Agree! Let’s stop making the self proclaimed “GURUS” rich.
I totally agree, lets take back our power to ‘demand’ value and not empty promises.
I Agree!
I agree
And thanks for posting this Rick!
I agree.
I just hope I have enough money to go forward and purchase the 12-18 -07 launch. Right now I am broke and hardly have enough money for Christmas gifts. The real estate market has really made a financial mess out of my household but we just launched a new value oriented web site 2 months ago. www.ReNewsYouCanUse.com it is getting very popular and I know we are providing value. I just hope one day it will not only be value to the customer but turn into $$ for our business.
I Agree!
I agree but the big boys are greedy and can continue business as usual because there is always a new crop of newbies who have’t found out yet about outrageous claims etc.
I agree…but do you really expect guys like Mike Filsaime or Shawn Casey or even Mark Warren to change?
I agree whole-heartedly with this petition and its’ sentiment!
It’s time ‘they’ stopped treating us like we’re as stupid as ‘they’
are. I prefer to conduct my affairs as if my customers, & myself,
have IQ’s above room-temperature!
I also agree…and am dern happy to see this…standards need to be set!
-David Burnet
Well said. Enough is enough.
Yes, I agree!
Not all advdertising is bad, although these days commerce has gone mad, thrusting unwanted and unneeded products under our noses. I certainly agree with the principles you state.
I agree too Rich…You can start by removing your opt-in page from the Doctrine 2 presentation, which is all I get the last three times I’ve attempted to view it.

But I have to say, I loved the Gary Vaynerchuck interview.
I Agree Crystal Clearly!! I am sick To Death of phony marketing trickery and it is time for people to learn that we all are not in the “Dark Ages of the Unknown Zone.
I Agree!
I agree
I certainly AGREE all the way its about time someone is doing something for these schemers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wholeheartedly agree Rich, however, how are you going to weed out those that are “fleecing us newbies” of $$$$$$$’s. Will there be a star rating applied… and are you prepared to identify those that are the “shonks” as against the genuine IM’s promoting “the new whiz bang” tried and proven systems… that are in fact, NOT worth a pinch of salt! - And who is going to monitor this process?
You are venturing on a road, “where others have feared to tread” and maybe fraught with legal complications and other personal reprisals. I admire you for your courage as “an intrepid trail blazer” and congratulate you on your mission…. I trust that for all us minnows who have “dipped our toes in the water” of marketing on the internet and lost our hard earned money, because we believed the “guru’s” who said it was an easy road to financial freedom, in fact, it is not - despite our determined efforts to succeed.
Best wishes on your quest…. The path to achieve excellence in any sphere of engagement…. is not one, fraught without toil,determination, action and commitment.
I agree!
You’re darn right!
You are right. They deceive us, especially those of us who are Africans and live in Africa.
I agree!
Agree
I strongly agree.
I agree!
Amen brother Rich !!!
I agree…I just wonder where you all have been. We have BEEN doing business this way! Welcome to the party!
Peace

I Agree.
See how I converse with my customers at For Goji Berries .com
Note: the demographic this is site is targeted to is not into “web 2.0″ (they’ve almost figured out the “click on blue underlined links” thing) but they do chat and (gasp) call on the phone. And yes, I do my own customer service. It’s not outsourced to India.
Here! Here!
