What’s up Rosalind (Cyber attack by a well known marketer?)

Hi guys, I just got “attacked” for no rhyme or reason by another marketer called Rosalind.

To make things worse, it was based on WRONG “facts”. You can see the post from Rosalind at http://netprofitstoday.com/blog/so-not-an-internet-marketing-guru/comment-page-3/#comment-104042

Man, I’ve no idea until I got news about it from a loyal subscriber! Thanks!

I hope some of you who think otherwise of her post can comment on her blog as well, I think things need to be set right.

I posted my own comments and reply but I’m not sure if it’s even going to be approved and shown to the public, as it’s awaiting “moderation” :-)

Anyway I captured my comments and the posts in a PDF you can read, just in case…

Thanks in advance!

    Hi Ewen,
    I can’t believe my eyes when I received your email about Rosalind attacking you online… is like what you say, very unlike her.

    I got even more shocked when I read her post…

    I have been following you for years and I must say that I am not pleased with all your products… however, I do learn a lot from you and respect you as a top-notch internet marketer. I am a business owner and marketer myself… and I completely understand that no one can please everybody. I don’t see anything wrong with the trackback thingy as long as the original source is stated.

    To see someone like Rosalind bashing you in public without actual facts is really a let-down.. especially if you are doing your a good job.

    It’s right for you to speak up. Don’t worry Ewen, you will always have my support.

      “I have been following you for years and I must say that not all your products are perfect… however, I do learn a lot from you and respect you as a top-notch internet marketer. ”

      Thanks.

  2. Hey Ewen,
    I feel for you buddy. I’ve reviewed products from both you and Ros and I just like you said, neither you or Ros have perfect material. Nobody does. I really do hope she posts that comment of yours on her site to be fair. You’ve mentioned a lot of good points and I do agree with just about everything that you’ve mentioned. From what I’ve seen, you’re products bring value into the market place – especially those that are starting out. I’ve been marketing online for close to a decade and I still learn a lot from you.
    Take care,
    Charles

    Hey Ewen

    So sorry this has happened my friend. I have always liked what you have trained and I have seen alot of great ideas and techniques that I have never seen before.

    Hope she can back up her claims.

    Look Ewen there will always be people who hate on you and obviously you have made a name for yourself. If people really thought of you in the way she talks you would not have such a strong following. People can see through Bull Crap

    Thanks for keeping it honest

  4. Stephen says:

    I wont get involved, i don’t know the facts, but i wanted to give you props fro your blogsite theme very nice very clean and uncluttered. What is it called?

    • jide Omiyale says:

      You cannot be ambivalent on this. It is so clear,. you guys should be bold enough to tell Rosalind that she is wrong. They are both gurus and nobody should deny Ewen Chia his slot.

  5. Ewen Chia says:

    Hi guys, thanks. I’m really happy to see the support from all of you. When such things happen, we HAVE to stand up for ourselves. It’s a defence not offence.

    Cheers,
    Ewen

  6. Alvin Phang says:

    To be honest, I also shocked she will do this… it seems to be a negative comment strategy to me.. :P To get Ewen to promote her blog :P but will agree with Ewen comments that I think wont be approved.

    Not everyone is perfect and I agree with Ewen there should not be any wrong to redirect content feed to her blog with auto blogging. I get that all the time on my blog and it does give me free traffic anyway :P

    I hope she will apologize , as I do respect both Ewen and Rosalind.

  7. Ewen Chia says:

    Thanks Alvin! Glad you feel this way.

  8. Kris P. says:

    Hi Ewen,

    This lady – and I use the term loosely – needs to have her mouth washed out with soap. She certainly doesn’t show herself as being much of a professional doing what she did and saying what she has said. The only thing one can say is that she must be having a very, very bad day :( Your response to her was right on and showed that you truly are a gentleman of the finest caliber!

    Regards,

    Kris

    • Bonny Kariuki says:

      I agree with Kris 100%. Shame on you Ros! Why don’t you just mind your own business? Regardless of how bad your day was, it shouldn’t have happened in the first place …

  9. Ewen Chia says:

    Thanks Kris, that’s so right of you!

    Ewen

  10. Phil Cullum says:

    I don’t understand the level of the vitriol, but I do understand Ros’s concern about her being attributed for something I wrote. If you hadn’t attributed it to her, the whole incident wouldn’t have happened. I would like to see you correct the source information for the post she refers to. The correct source is
    Thanks,
    Phil

  11. Richard says:

    Hi Ewan,
    Geez she doesn’t mess with words. I am sure you happy to spread good content around just like anybody else. I have rss feeds emanating from sources too. The info is good the visitor finds out about a trusted source for a topic that relates to my niche so everybody is happy. By the way good sources don’t hand out rss feeds than pull the “indian giver” trick and maintain I have stole their content. I also have many draft posts yet to approve from registered uses to my site do they complain. NO .
    I also have many of your products including PLR Ewan I have acquired over the past 3 years under different email addresses I have used (I have many as you would). Would like to add that once I upload my PLR membership script every PLR I have received from you will be on board. Also the Free Website Builder software is what I use at desktop..I think it is very good tool for me.
    Have a good day….by the way you know the saying goes..’sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.”

    Have a good day

    Sometimes you do put out crap bro. no product is perfect.
    Don’t let it get to you just get over it and get on with it :)
    It doesn’t affect your bottom line and people will always look for things when you are high profile
    be well man

  13. Alex Dillon says:

    Hey Ewen,

    Feel sorry for you. Please don’t take offense, but something tells me that you’ve been punished for a good reason and I feel you somehow admit that ;)

    Alex

  14. Ewen Chia says:

    Hey Alex, not true :-)

    Ewen

  15. Jennifer says:

    Hi Ewen:
    I came to know about you years’ back from Stuart Tan. I was a beginner back then, purchased some of your products and have learned and applied them as well. As i’ve moved to another segment of digital media, I still stay subscribe to your list as I trust that you deliver values in your email.

    As for the repost thing, I don’t think there’s anything thing wrong with it since you are giving a link back to her blog. There are hundreds and thousands of the blogs that work that way. Isn’t that a win-win?

    God Bless.

  16. Alex Dillon says:

    Maybe not true, just my opinion :)

    Cheers,

    Alex

    PS Been following you for a couple of years and will continue to follow. Love reading your emails! :)

  17. Jennifer says:

    Just to add on:
    In my opinion, i will not classify some of your information as crap even if I already knew about them because there are still thousands of others that don’t know and so I believe that you have your own market segment. On the other hand, your subscribers have high expectation on you and they want you to deliver better or best than just good!

  18. tom says:

    Ewen, it should be “thanks in advance”, not “thanks in advanced”. You really need to learn proper English.

    • Patricia says:

      Tom,
      Ewen writes’ and speaks better English than any other I know from the Asian sector. To privatly help him is one thing, but to do it like an attack like you did is just mean spirited and wrong. Ewen has helped and encouraged more people, FREE OF CHARGE, than most markers ever come into contact with.

      Ewen, I will say I’m sorry for how Tom chose to correct your wording. It would have been much worse if you’d used one of the translators!
      Thank you for all you have given to not just myself but also to so many others, totally free.

    • Joan says:

      Tom, c’mon – ever heard of typos? Never made one? And tell me how much Chinese you can speak and write? I think your post is totally uncalled for!

    • Robin says:

      Tom, how many languages are YOU fluent in? Do you speak Ewen’s native language fluently? Even native English speakers make mistakes. Why are you wound up so tight? Does being critical and putting others down and disrespecting them make you more highly esteemed and respected? Why do you feel the need to be hurtful and critical? Hurt people hurt people. Think on that. I fee sad for your hurt.

  19. Jenna says:

    Hello Ewen.
    We have appreciated your business and updates, and affirmative information. Yes, some products have been good and some not so good, but we do not take it out on the persons that referred or sold it to us. Good business practice is meeting half way to resolve the bugs and problems in the systems of programs and software etc.
    Remember Loose lips sink ships?
    Some people claim to “know it all” but in fact they do not know everything. There deems to be many “Internet Libel” cases relating to “Cyber Attacks” via the Internet and causing damages to many reputable businesses these days. The derogatory statements made by the party who accuses is cautioned. Keep up the good work in helping many people, and let the “know it all
    s” run their own clubs.

  20. Ewen Chia says:

    Hi Tom, haa ok. I’m not perfect :-) gonna correct it!

    Jennifer, great to hear from you again. Thanks for your thoughts and support!

    Alex, got it bro :-)

  21. Ewen Chia says:

    Well said Jenna! I agree.

  22. Ernie says:

    That is an EXTREMELY unfair post!!! I have been on Ewen’s list for years and I have purchased many products from him. Not all of the products were perfect. But I learned SOMETHING from ALL of them. I am a better “Internet Marketer” because of Ewen Chia. Thanks for that and I surely do hope Ross corrects this!

  23. Ewen Chia says:

    Hi Ernie, thanks! You’re the man…

  24. rotimi says:

    it was a shock news but dont wory you will still get there

  25. Isobel says:

    I’ve read your comments to Rosalind, and frankly what gives you the right to ask her not to post her own opinions in public? It’s her blog and her opinion – why shouldn’t she post it?
    If someone starts a blog called “Intermetmarketingguru.com” or “iamthebestmarketeronearth.com” – yes I do assume that person wants you believe that’s what they are, unless it’s obviously done tongue-in-cheek.
    I agree with her that “curation autoblogs” are just crap. Curation means taking what someone wrote and COMMENTING on it, not just repoisting it as it stands. There’s nothing new about straight reposting, those of us who were doing Adsense 5/6 years ago did exactly that to put keyword-related content on our sites. The fact that you’re now teaching it as something “new” says something about you. I repeat, CURATION means commenting and adding to someone else’s ideas, not copying them word for word. Huffington Post is the usual example given of true curation – your autoblog is nothing like that.

  26. Victor says:

    Buddy,

    I don’t know your products, I have never bought anything from you as your promotion and marketing feels sleazy to me – I am on a lot of lists to see what the “guru’s” are up to.

    I think this is just the beginning of hard push back from the market on the guru industry as a whole and you can expect more.

    That said there where an awful lot of negative feedback comments on that post and on this retort as well.

    Maybe its time for some reflection and soul searching .

    • Eric Ang says:

      I wonder how you judge the products when you don’t even obtain any to sturdy! Example there’s 2 glass of clear water, 1 is sweet & the other is bitter, if you won’t drink them, how would know there’s differences…

      Sure there’ll be many hard push back from the market especially for Internet Marketing Niche where there were many so call guru scamming around, if Ewen is to be one, I don’t think he can survive for the past decade, he has guided many small to big humble & quiet successful marketers a round the globe.

      No one is perfect in this struggling world to earn a living, so we how can we expect each and every product to be perfect in this world. Everyone in this niche is competing for a pie in this cake…where the most money is being make…

      We can’t awful lot of negative feedback comments, as this is a free speech world, but negative feedback & comments is better than no comment, they’ll help us to improve even more if they’re genuine & sincere…

      It’s very unprofessional to cyber attack other in public, a simple mail to each other will help resolves most problems… And it’s a very lousy way to do it publicly… worse if it is to gain publicity… the backlash will even cause more pain if one is a public figure…

      Note: If one is to point a index finger on other, look carefully how many fingers were pointing towards him/her, that will need reflection and soul searching…

      Where ever there’s people, there’s alway comment & gossip…
      Where ever there’s people, there’s alway frictions…
      Let’s not be judgmental… Cheers! Peace!

      Ewen! You’ll always have our support!

  27. Pawel Reszka says:

    LOL! Ewen, that sucks! I have bought your products way back when I was a newbie. Even though I knew I might not learn something new from the product itself I do learn from your sales process. I am actually one of those who absolutely hate autoblogs because they do NOT add value to the serps, but what Rosalind did is kind of low. I guess it’s the new strategy to get more attention. I mean you just mailed for it to your list and I bet you sent a ton of people there so she probably got some of them on her list now. Plus you gave her a link :) What’s actually funny is that she thinks you are trying to make money with it or get links back LMAO. If she is such a super affiliate then she should know that you are a list builder. Besides trackbacks have “nofollow” tags anyway. I am thinking about posting about this on my blog. (It could get ugly)

  28. Joe Lavery says:

    Ewen,

    You can’t please everyone. You’re far from a thief, in fact, I have made thousands from your products so thank you!

    Seriously.

    All of this over a track back?

    Really?

    THINK QUICK: When you get what you consider to be blog spam …what should you do?

    A. Don’t approve it. Disapprove it. Mark it as Spam. Or otherwise delete it.

    or…

    B. Scream “OMG! Someone re-posted a blurb of my content in an attempt to get a track back” … “AHHHH I’ve never seen blog spam before WTF is going on around here?” ….hmmm I know what I’ll do… let me post a vicious personal attack on my blog and take joy in creating a MOB LIKE MENTALITY of personal attacks and NEGATIVE ENERGY. Yeah!!! That should get me some attention!

    I think someone had just a little too much sand in their va-j-j. But please don’t worry, I’ve seen this before and it’s 100% treatable. Usually.

    Joe

  29. Ewen Chia says:

    Thanks guys, I enjoy reading your comments and thoughts.

    Hey Isobel, this is not a situation of who is wrong or right but about voicing out. Maybe you didn’t read my reply to the post in detail. She can post all she wants as long as it doesn’t reflect negatively on others and herself, and the premise of the topic is justified.

    Anyway, I do “dare” her to post my comments and reply.

    > The fact that you’re now teaching it as something “new” says something about you. I repeat, CURATION means commenting and adding to someone else’s ideas, not copying them word for word.

    I’ve to correct you. I wasn’t even teaching IT – about autoblogs or curation, it was a brand new testing blog for myself, it wasn’t even supposed to go “public”. But I guess it worked because it gets traffic and attention lol.

    Pawel, yeah I read your blog and know what you can do ;-)

    Joe! Long time. Your comments – LOL.

    Ewen

  30. Hey Ewen,

    This is downright absurd what shes done and said about you. It sure sounds like she has some deep seeded jealousy against you and your products. You’ve got some amazing domain names and a long line of successful products. She must be jealous!

    Hope you don’t take it to heart. I’ve actually seen her in person and gotta say she’s quite a _______. But anyways we should not stoop to her level and use obscene language. Really can’t believe the nerve she had to attack you.

    Her time would be better spent worrying about her own products and services. Anyways, keep doing what you’re doing man…cause you’re obviously doing something very right!

    Best Regards,
    Mike Santiago

    Hello Even,
    I hope u know me & I had just taken your product recently, was seriously shocked about the news which i came to know from you itself…The steps taken by you are appreciated & hope whatever i have invested recently will be fruitful for ever…

    I am totally new in this internet market & i believe you will help me to take this forward.
    Thanks & Best Regards,

  32. Shane says:

    The reality is that you choose to operate your business in what has to be the sleaziest industry of all time, ever !

    For those that make a full time living online – ( no not teaching others to make money online ) – we know that there are no push button secrets, no instant atm cash machines and no over night riches, this is a business.

    If you cant see the filth and lies and scams and rip off’s that surround your industry, if they don’t just disgust you then I too question your ethics. I am not saying directly you are unethical but you need to appreciate where it is you operate and to not be tarnished with that same brush you need to go the well beyond the extra yard, you need to make the big extra effort – saying “not every product I create is good” is not enough to be above the trash.

    And make no mistake trash and lies and scams is what dominates your industry.

    You lay down with dogs you are going to get fleas my friend. The only way you are entitled to feel you are not a part of the rip off and scam mass that is the Internet Marketing Guru Industry is to be totally beyond reproach – to ALWAYS deliver the best you can.

  33. YT says:

    Guess her websites are not making money for her anymore.

    And is it even worth it to launch unethical attacks on other guru’s reputation for just that one minute of fame?

    Way too over the line man….

    Always on your side,
    Since 2008.

    Happy NDP!

  34. Tom Andrade says:

    I support you. I must confess I have not read the cyber attack remarks and I don’t want to or need to. I watched you for years with great admiration and respect. I have bought your products including Secret Affiliate Weapon 2 and i have learned so much. I am still looking for the success level i have set as a goal. That I am not there yet is my fault not yours. I will get there though because what you teach is true. i just need to keep applying what you have taught and not give up. You simply do not deserve attacks. Again I support you. You have the enviable qualities that all successful marketers must have and are ones i am trying to cultivate- and they are that people KNOW, LIKE AND TRUST YOU. For good reason. I know I am one of them.

  35. Marian says:

    Hi Ewen,

    I’ve got a looong list of so-called gurus and scammers, but you’re NOT among them! :)

    I respect you just like I respect Rosalind – and I guess she just overacted here! I woudn’t put it like her, but that’s me :)

    I wish you all the best and keep up the great work!
    Marian

  36. Tom says:

    I am going to unsubscribe to one of you – either Rosalind or you. I will wait to find out which facts are true – it is a serious charge. The internet marketing world is a small world. Everyone knows everyone – at least the big players. There is way too much bullshit in this marketing world. I will let the true facts come out and make my decision. Either way – very disappointing about one of you.

    • Sandra says:

      Do your research first. Find out which has a better standing in the internet marketing community before dumping either. Give them both a chance!

  37. Alan Lim says:

    Hi Ewen
    Everyone have their own opinions, either positive or negative. As long as you bring values to your subscribers, there is nothing to bother with such POSTs…the truth will be out and most tech savvy online surfers will know what’s right and what’s wrong and whats good and whats bad.

    Anyway, Ewen, I still trust some of your online guide you have provided so far and of course not all are good as no one are perfect and all of us are learning everyday and improving ourselves.

    So, continue providing all the best you have and you have all my support :)

  38. Alan says:

    Hi Ewen,
    The person who make the comment is really an idiot.
    when you are getting more popular, more prestige in this global and others who call themself wellknown Guru are very jealous of your achievement, sore eyes, try to speak bad about you. Don’t worry god will never let and help these false Gurus success !!
    Support you all the time.
    Alan

  39. Sandra says:

    She is being harsh, but there is that thing called “freedom of speech.” Ouch! I would hate to be treated that way. She could at least given him some kind of “heads up” to Ewen before posting.

  40. Sergio says:

    Hey Ewen,

    “Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.” ~Dalai Lama

    I bet this lady was just name-dropping you because of a mixed (or twisted) feeling towards you or some product she didn’t like.

    The sad bit about social media is that anyone can just throw sh*t at people for the mere fact they dislike the person (happens everywhere with public figures)

    I think that’s exactly what is happening here but hey, every great marketer out there (Kern, Filsaime, Evans, etc) have had their own rounds themselves.

    I guess that’s the main reason why they don’t expose so much like before, who knows?

    Take care Ewen and I hope this turns out for the best!

    Remember that what doesn’t kills you, only makes you stronger. :)
    Sergio

    PS. I’m sorry that I really couldn’t avoid laughing at Tom’s comment about unsubscribing ‘to either of you’ sometimes people are just funny.

  41. Sandra says:

    She’s just doing it to get attention and more email addresses!

  42. Barbara says:

    Ewen,
    I have got interested in some of your products but when looking closer, the hype alone and your emails repulse me. I am pretty certain that what Rosalind accuses you of is true and she must have bottled up her reactions for a while. I totally get her.

    She strikes me as somebody who does things as well as she can without insulting people’s intelligence. You on the other hand use just any tactic to make a fast buck. Oh yes, I receive a lot of “spam” from all kinds of people and I sometimes get angry at the low quality and crap they (you included) are shooting at people and want to unsubscribe. I don’t though, your (guru) crap has its diverting side to it.

    Long live Rosalind for being so outspoken (even if she has sand in her vaj j j) ;-D

    Barbara

  43. art says:

    Ewen,
    I find it almost laughable someone who knows the ropes would throw out such garbage over a trackback link. Personally, I am grateful considering your Instant Paycheck was responsible for my first few sales online.

    Secondly, while some of us might be new to this (as am I) it doesn’t take a degree in “reverse engineering” to see that not every product will be or should ever expect to be a homerun! “Yes” there is a lot of crap out there…and sadly in this biz.. crap often out-sells the truth or the fact marketing to the masses actually takes work!

    If people wanna believe there’s some “magic” easy button, and prefer to buy crap…then that might explain why McDonald’s has over 10 Billion served…keep feeding the hungry Bro!

    All The Best,

    Hi Mike! Glad to hear from you. YOU are the domain king, not me :-)
    I wonder what’s the word you’re refering to for ________??

    Kunal, just focus on the product and teachings, you’ll get there.

    Happy NDP YT :-)

    Thanks Tom, understanding what you wrote is a key factor to success, just do it.

    Apppreciate the reply Marian!

    Thanks for your support Alan and Alan :-)

    I’m not sure about jealously but it has happened to me locally as well from another Singapore marketer who goes around bad mouthing me for years to his students, on stage, everywhere – just because I couldn’t promote his products. Well, there are people and then there are people.

    Well said Sergio (not about Tom’s comments :-) we just can’t please everyone!

    Ewen

  45. Ewen Chia says:

    Barbara, sometimes being a marketer is hard – you’ve got to sell and that’s your job but how do you sell without some hype? Companies and big brands have been doing it for centuries.

    Art, great to hear of your success! Keep going at it. The tactics in Instant Paycheck are genuine and works as you’ve seen :-)

    Ewen

  46. Debasish Roy says:

    To my mind Ewen is a fantastic trainer and all his materials seems to be very genuine. I think people often gets disillusioned due the fact that Internet Marketing is a vast subject and needs lot of time to learn contrary to the fact that people wants to get instant result; that is they want instant money which may not be possible until and unless once gets proper training and knowledge about the subject.

    Unfortunately, due to my stressed financial position I could not give much time to Internet Marketing. But I am an ardent follower of Ewen and I like and sincerely hope that he is a through gentleman and strongly believe that he is very fair. And if a person has spent so much of time, money and energy into a subject one can certainly call himself a GURU and I really find nothing wrong about it!

    Please Rosalind try to pass positivity and stay away from your negative vibes and make this world a fantastic place to live in !!

    That’s right Debasish! Nothing gets done and negativism only harms yourself and the world.

    And thanks for the kind words.

  48. Hello Ewen.
    Wahoo! This is socking but not unexpected in a world full of competition and attention.
    I have been following you for some years now and I’m presently a member of your membership site at http://bit.ly/qdollars. I have been promoting the site on daily basis because I believe your program and teachings are wonderful. However, after reading Rosalind’s post I cannot but conclude that she has succeeded in using the negative comment to drive insane amount of traffic to her blog. I never heard of her before but got to her site through the link you sent. Like you said your comment was not published and in my comment at her blog I wrote that if she was bold enough to post such allegation she should have been bolder to approve your comment.
    My advice, if there is any correction you need to make regarding the way you do business, pls do it. But for her complain and allegation, I think it is part of the prize you need to pay as a guru in order to be a better guru.
    So, move on to greater heights
    Wishing you all the best
    Prince.

  49. Ewen Chia says:

    Thanks Prince, good to hear your thoughts!

  50. Hi Ewen.
    Am suprised by her post maybe even confused, why should she post such a thing there. Maybe you have something to settle with her or is it out of jealousy

  51. Jan says:

    Hi Ewen!
    I just subscribed to your blog about 2 days ago and have a thought of buying your products until this issue came up. You see, I’ve been looking for the best mentor in online money making. I’ve bought and signed a few but none of them helped me. Maybe I just lost focus. You see, I’ve been online for more than a year now and all I earn is from PTC sites which are in cents. After I joined those expensive affiliate programs, I feel I just wasted my money.
    But I’m thrilled of your products. Once I have enough money, I will joi the paid membership and hopefully I will have a big success this time.
    (no need to approve this comment, i just want to send out this message to you)
    Thanks,
    Jan

    What a joke how about you both hold a contest as to who can make a million first, hmm I bet you would win hands down. I guess we know who the REAL GURU is then, Ewen Chia!

    Ewen I am making amazing money now and one of the first guys to show me how to do it was you so I know that your the REAL DEAL!

  53. Tunde says:

    Take heart, Ewen. It’s one of those things. Mudsling to climb? As it has been explained by the experienced ones, unlike we beginners, it is a win win situation and nothing wrong what you have done. You have acknowledged the source, what else? I think the word ‘guru’ is not exclusive to anyone. If she wants to bear that tag, no one is preventing her. She seems to be annoyed with it. Let her wear it on her forehead.

  54. Ewen,
    Just keep being yourself, you’ve helped more people than you’ll ever know. Only fiction has to be believable, TRUTH can be what ever it wants to be.
    There will always be ones that are “Don’t confuse me with the facts” but instead “I feel xxxxx so there for it is.”
    Continue being the honest, helpful gentleman that you are, truth always finds a way of coming to light.
    Hope to see you on the cruis this year. No there is no link, nor the name of which one I’m speaking of, I’m not trying to sponsor anyone that I don’t know. Sorry I had to make sure that point was clear.
    All the best to you, in your business and comming marriage.
    Patricia
    ps. Contact me about your wedding jewelry, remember, I only do a few as I make only one of a kind.

    • Ewen Chia says:

      Hi Patricia,

      Yes I’ve always tried to be the gentleman and will continue doing so.

      I’d have to guess about the cruise then.

      By the way, I’m ALREADY married, unless I didn’t know of another one? :-)

      Ewen

  55. The question is to be in IM or not to be in IM. What is the main ingredient of IM? Viral copy and paste to earn money, so what we see is 2nd hand , 3rd, hand,, 4th hand stuff …. millionth hands stuff sold as new, polluting Internet more and more. A taboo of sound thinking goes with it and it has become very easy for the big brands to take over the whole Internet in a year or two to imprison everybody in Plato’s Cave forever as Ran Deiss shows in his presentations. IM is going down, down, down as does the world economy right now. May be some IM-people can save themselves by unfolding their brain parachute and visit this place now:: http://scr.bi/beyondcrisis

  56. Juan says:

    She should have more respect for herself as a person indeed and not post biased opinions in public, this makes her look bad and could hurt her credibility a bit. You see, things of this nature may always backfire.

    That post is really about how poorly she didn’t understand the sole purpose of auto-posting, and for her not to of her personal character, and the leader that she is, I would’ve expected her to understand how small it was. Which now she is making it to be a huge deal for no reason. Just an Emotional time of month for her, but always should always base facts off of True Facts and LOGIC.

    How do we know she is not swindling people out of their hard-earned money?

    Truth is she probably doesn’t even care about the people who she sells too. Because if i was following her or was a buyer of her, I would immediately STOP, because of all the bad and negative spirit that come out of here. People of these days tend to forget that life first is SPIRITUAL before it is physical. and it is always good to keep peace and positive vibes and environment,. (I wont get that deep into it)

    The post allows people to judge who she really is as a person and what they may really think about the person. I think it is a completely pointless post , she just made herself come-off as , not-thinking, emotionally wrecked. She knows that You “Ewen Chia” is a genuine respected marketer who is Killing the game every time in the top spot. Jealousy is such an evil trait. Be happy with what your doing and go farther focusing on your self and not what others think.

    Best Wishes!
    CHEERS!

    P.S. The world is the Big road, but not too many people are on the small road, which is where we need to be.

  57. Pawel Reszka says:

    Seems like she needs wordpress lessons

    Hope you don’t mind Ewen.

  58. Matt says:

    You went to all the effort of writing a blog post just to get a trackback link from her? TROLOLOLOL don’t think she knows what scrapebox is =D

  59. jide Omiyale says:

    Ewen,
    I am impressed about the support here. Both of you are authorities on this issue and she cannot take your slot from you.

    On this issue she is miles wrong and i have told her so.
    When they write the history of interment marketing, your name will be there.

    Do not fret about this. You integrity is intact.

  60. Sal says:

    Hi Ewen,
    I bought a product of yours a while ago, but I make my money by helping people here locally with web sites and PC troubles and other fulfilling part-time jobs.
    From the little I have read on this, as far as I know, if I even tried to publish anything near what she published about you (and her explicatives), I think any potential people that might have been thinking about working with me or following me, are probably going to go in another direction, away from me. And that is just due to etiquette. On the other hand, once I publish a book, help a few thousand people and have plenty of cash, well then on a bad day. I will lean on my nostalgia, throw some names in a hat and then pull out the one I am going to squish like a bug that day, so I can sleep well that night…..
    Come on already, something is not right here….
    Are you guys working on a new marketing angle?

  61. Ken Nwankwo says:

    Hello Ewen,
    I just read Ros post on her blog and I’m not happy the way she handled it. To me, it seems like the attack is deliberate and she seems not happy with you for long but waiting for the right time to attack you.

    Every internet marketer knows about autoblogging. She should be happy that you linked back to her message. Her link was on your autoblog post. What if it’s not there all?

    To be frank with you, she shouldn’t attack you that way. There must be something in her mind about you.

    Now, do know that I’m an internet marketer based in Nigeria. I have not bought your package before but I was blessed with a free eBook you gave out around 4th quarter of 2009.

    I read that eBook and applied the marketing strategies to my local business in Nigeria and I made a profit of more than $4,000 in just 45days.

    So, Ewen, don’t get disturbed. Get focused and leave Rosalind. She just wants cheap traffic to her site.

    We are with you bro!

  62. Roger says:

    It seems she is more interested in installing hatred for you Ewen in the minds of her readers than giving out facts. I mean thats some opinions when she says , “Oh I know Ewen is expecting me to approve.. ” and on & on. And some dumb idiots are falling for it right left and centre. I think she’s forgotten the difference between Opinions and facts!!
    But you keep your focus bro, we’re all attacked some time or other in this world.

  63. Hillevi says:

    I feel shocked to read her comments
    We could not please everyone and no one is perfect. Anyway, I support you Ewen, I have learnt a lot from you. Thanks for your mentoring. Cheers !!!

  64. Kysaan says:

    Wow!!
    Thats a lot of emotion been thrown around there!

    Well I am SUPER Super super, new to this internet business and to be honest I am really excited about this whole new world that has opened up for me. However with everything in life, where there is a positive there has to be a negative (for balance)….. and I have discovered that there are a lot of scammers ready to take your money.

    From my perspective as a super newbie…. (and not knowing who this Rosalind person was until I read this post) she seems to be pulling the oldest trick in the book… that is to say that any free publicity is good publicity and going after a prominent figure will always get you attention..
    Like I said I didn’t know who she was…. and now I do!

    I don’t know who is wight or wrong in this instance, but Ewen I knew who you were as I did a lot or resaerch as to whom my teacher was going to be and I bought your training programme.
    Furthermore, you can never control the actions of other people, you can only control your own actions, and I think you handled your self well.

    Warm wishes.
    Kysaan

  66. David says:

    Mr Chia, You Horrid Man!
    How dare you take advantage of poor Rosalind Gardner by steeling her article right from under here very nose !!!

    Hi Ewen,

    When I received your e-mail this morning I have to say I was quite surprised, I visited your blog and clicked on the link to view Rosalind’s post and must admit I didn’t really know who she was but after awhile realized the name did ring a bell as I have seen it mentioned once or maybe twice, she doesn’t seem to like you very much does she :-)

    Perhaps it’s because you usually beat her (and everyone else) in most all of the affiliate promotional contests.

    On reading her post I have to conclude that she doesn’t seem to like reciprocal linking, she obviously has the Trackback and Ping settings switched on and by doing so is expressing her wishes of others being able to re-publish her posts so that she gets a link back to her site, but it seems she then treats anyone who does so like plagiarists that have stolen that content from her.

    Also reading her post and seeing her comments about you that are dripping with such venom has been quite an eye opener as to what type of person she is, I haven’t actually purchased anything from her before and am now sure I never will, admittedly I haven’t bought every single one of your products but probably way more than half and of all those that I have, I will say that I’ve never bought a dud.

    I know you’ve said that adding a little controversy can peak an interest in what you’re doing but there’s being controversial and being down right vicious which seems to be more the case here so I wonder if Rosalind has shot herself in the foot with this one as I’m sure after reading it, many others will be wondering who she’ll turn on next. ???

    I’m pretty sure anyone with half a brain will see straight through this so I wouldn’t let it get to you.

    Regards
    David.

    I’ve never heard of that person until i recieved your mail. I’m following you for about a year and a proud member of internetmarketer.com and many other products. :) thanks for all your help and support.

    I already proved yourself to be the best ewen

  68. Geof says:

    She is damn desperate to get free publicity from your blog and your list. Maybe just need to get her to read your bestselling book, which I’m rereading it currently (although I’ve read it many times and still applying since 2009). I have been your subscribers for years, bought few of your products and the bestselling book – all very educational and good knowledge – but will be useless if it’s not put into use. Personally I think times are bad over there as stocks have been plunging freely since yesterday and maybe facing their worse times ahead. Whatever it is, bashing people directly in the public is definitely wrong.

  69. Sumit says:

    Hi Ewen,

    One of the first products of what I got online on IM was your’s. Some two three years back. Ive seen content from almost all marketing “gurus” however your content does provide more simple and valueable info. One can never make a perfect product they can just do their best each time.

    You won’t need to worry, because you already have people who will recommend you so no issues.

    Good Luck
    Sumit

  70. Hey Ewen,
    Yeah I have no idea why Rosalind did this! I left a comment on her site stating she was wrong and that you are a good marketer and person! I think her little rant was stupid and childish to say the least!

    Again, time to grow up Rosalind! I’ll tell you this, I will never follow her or purchase any of her products! Very immature and lame! Just keep doing what you’re doing Ewen! Thanks for all that you do to help people!

  71. Jayne Kopp says:

    Hi Ewen
    Definitely an unfair assessment. I don’t believe anything positive comes out of being outwardly negative and slamming someone.

    Though everyone is entitled to their opinion, particularly on their own blog, I do believe that what goes around comes around.

    You know who you are. Keep your chin up.

    Jayne

  72. Ewen Chia says:

    Hi everyone,

    I want to thank you all for your comments and thoughts on this matter! It’s great to know that I still have supporters. I’m not perfect just like every human being, but do strive to do good and provide value as much as possible. I’m a marketer but I do have a heart.

    In life, you can’t please everyone. There will be people who love and hate you and that’s also true of business. However, be POSITIVE. Internet Marketing is and will always be a great way to earn your living, don’t let little things and obstacles discourage you.

    Focus on the big picture and the good and “don’t sweat the small stuff”. Anyone can succeed with the right attitude, mindset and hard work.

    I’ve shared a lot of what I’ve learned over the years and have also given out more free content and resources than I can count (just google and search around and you’ll find them) – and will continue to do so!

    In summary…

    The whole point of my post was not to “blame” or be offensive to Rosalind, I do still respect her. I hope you will too. It was purely a defensive measure because I’ve been wronged with direct personal attacks and strong words which I will NEVER condone.

    I’m sure you would do the same thing if you were in my shoes?

    I still don’t understand the reason for it, especially when I don’t know her personally, nor have I even exchanged an email with her. Strange. But lets move on.

    And to put the record straight, my definition of “Curation Autoblog” was referring to a new marketing test that I was doing in private on the internetmarketingguru.com site. It’s something different and new and combines curation, autoblogging, a news site and other things. It’s NOT the typical curation site you will see. Well, I haven’t completed my tests and will not continue with it, at least not in the IM niche :-)

    Thanks again everyone, have a great day!

    Sincerely,

    Ewen

      Ewen, just keep on keepin on….we are on your side brotha!!!!

    • Dear Ewen
      It is sad to see that a lady like Roselind Gadner has come up with such an idea to tarnish your image. I have personally read your book and find it very useful. It is a great piece of work I must say. However, I would like to tell you some thing about RG. I happened to read some reviews about her and someone had commented that her book was nothing but praising herself and how she worked to achieve it rather than the actual methods. Due to this I decided not to buy her book.

      The point is, even RG has not been able to please everyone. More over, whatever she thinks about you, someone had said the same words about her, 10 years back. I am not a net detective but I distinctly remember reading negative about her.

      Funny! Life is a full circle. Let me know what you think.

    • Brian says:

      I would like to earn some money but it is downright hard when you are someone who has no money to start with.
      And in my case that is the honest truth but as usual everyone never believes me well I know one thing I forgive people for not believing me as My specialist cardiologist told my that nedically speaking I am a deadman walking so I prefer to forgive people and go out of this world in peace

    • I’m happy that your putting this thing to rest and moving on Ewen.
      As I’ve stated before… “What goes around, comes around”.

      You have been a major part and reason for my online success. I hope to continue that. Just keep doing what your doing. No one can please everybody. The vast majority of the products you release and/or promote are quality products. I know so because I try to follow the same principal you do. Namely… test the product, if it works, then I recommend/promote it. If I find the product is to crappy to be of any use to anyone, I trash it.

      Lets move on Buddy…

      Good Luck.

  73. Peter Parks says:

    Ewen Peter here! I just posted to your facebook. I wanted to let you know I got your back my friend.

    You helped me go from 5 figures to 6 figures in a matter of months way back in the day 2005 so you shouldnt worry about that, as I’ve given you a couple of solid real world testimonials with proof as to how you have sky rocketed my income and helped me gain massive exposure in the marketplace so I’d stand up for you without issue (-:

    But for sure defend yourself like you did, because thats just pure libel what she wrote and totally uncool. Here’s the deal, information products of any kind are only as powerful as the person who follows the proven blueprint and takes MASSIVE SMART ACTION with it (-:

    So that being said, she should do more than apologize which she sort of half did, and it was kind of lame in the way she did it. Of course though you should just let it rest because the more you talk about it, it just gives her PR exposure.

    You rock my friend,

    Peter.

  74. Paula Frye says:

    Hi Ewen. I’m not sure why, but I’ve never even heard of that woman. I will sure remember her name now (first impressions, you know) I am shocked anyone could think those things of you — and even print them online. You have tremendous content in every single thing you sell online. You even have a lot of free training for people who want to learn Internet Marketing. I hope you and your family don’t let her get you down. There sure are all kinds online. I’m sorry she attacked you like this.

    Paula

  75. I really can’t believe she’d do that to you. But, she has approved your comments.

  76. Hi Ewen
    Just keep up the good work you are doing to people like us. There will always be
    others who will be envious of your nsuccess. You are the best of what you do Ewen.

    Ewen,

    I read Roz post and I thought I would chimed in. I have bought several of your products and I must admit you have taught me a lot my friend. You have always been upfront with your products and you try to help as many as you can. Ripping you apart in public is not good business sense, but people will do that. I will keep buying your products because you have always over delivered in everything I have bought with your name on it,

    Keep your chin up your still the man.

    Hey Ewen,

    I know who Rosiland Gardner is she in her own right is a true super affiliate marketer. But why she is attacking you is beyond me. I have made
    more money promoteing your products than any other programs I have ever
    promoted. Keep up the good work and keep making them better.

    Hi Ewen
    I am so glad you stood up to that foul mouthed lady(????).
    I have followed you for years and have purchased a lot from you. I want to thank you for all you do, especially to help newbies! At one time I was on her list but unsubscribed as I felt I got nothing in return. But if I was still on her list, her attack on you would have definitely sent me quickly to the unsubscribe link.
    Keep up the good work and I definitely think you ARE a guru!
    Donna

  84. Sue says:

    Ewen, I think you’re a class act! You could’ve come back and “torn her a new one” if you wanted to, but you didn’t…good on you.
    I think her attack on you was totally unwarranted, and I’m sorry that you had to go through the person and public embarrassment.
    I’ve always thought your information is top notch, and I value it. I have an entire folder on my computer devoted to just your marketing email, offers and freebies. You are definitely a “giver”.
    I was on Rosalind’s email list a while ago and I frankly don’t remember getting anything of a useful nature from her.
    Thanks for all you do and share! I’m behind you 100%!

  86. Misato says:

    I am sort of surprised, that you are suprised, Ewen. =D I mean, this is the latest marketing tactic from most of you internet gurus now. Bashing each other. Mostly this is done on your sales pages about whatever it is that you are currently promoting. You know the drill. Sales pages that go something like:

    “You need my product, because I am the only honest internet marketer. All others are lying to you”

    or something like:

    “I am the only one who will tell you how to really get traffic. Everybody else is lying to you.”

    The thing that is funny is that all of these kinds of sales pages are only half right. They are right when they say that everyone else is lying to you. They are wrong when they tell you that they are not.

    You could say that it’s one of those things that make you go hmmmm… ;D

    Ewen, you’re always constantly supported in Australia because we have long memories, back thru SAW 1.0 and before where your guidance was original and constantly effective. I have all your PDFs still indexed in the 800lb gorilla and CB rewards one for this. Thanks eternally … what hacking crisis? I’m focused on the next blog my friend!

  88. Michey says:

    Hi! Ewen, I cannot believe what I am reading here and I am surprised to find out that is coming from Rosalind who is an establish IM as well.
    First of all the Internet is big enough to accommodate all of us, who doesn’t understand this simple fact, don’t understand the essence of Internet.
    This being said, attacks like this one are not substantiated, out of Internet etiquette, and 100% useless.
    I don’t like the term “guru”, and I don’t use it , but I follow you for 2 years now, and you are a hard working IM, very good teacher, very detail oriented writer. From all the products I bought from you I learned something… and I am grateful to you.
    I am sorry that you must get through this painful process.
    All the best for you, try to put everything behind you as soon as possible, and move on.
    Regards

  89. carol says:

    Hi Ewen:
    you know, simply, I always and faithfully without any question (we all know how many emails we get a day re: launches etc) when I see yours, I know I go to it because I believe you are one of the most direct and truthful professionals in this industry. You have never steered me wrong and I own most of your work …
    I’ve been in positions where you really are doing things from the most genuine intent and for some reason, some “person” (to be very gracious here) has to make the best of intentions ugly and hurtful…. I feel for you and it isn’t as easy as it would be best to be, just let it roll off one’s shoulders. I realize that. Most of us with true hearts and compassion for others have more difficulty with that.
    Just hang onto who you know you are and all the good your true following is.
    Thx Ewen and all the best to you and yours!

    Hi Ewen,
    I know how you felt because i have went through such situation before but in different case. My competitor did not even say sorry when i have proven him wrong. In your case, since she already apologized in her blog i guess you have to move on. In this kind of situation it will take at least couple of days to cool yourself down-don’t concentrate on this case anymore, go shopping and watch movie with your family and do some activities as this will help.

  92. Eric Tan says:

    Hi Ewen,

    I’m really shock and felt sorry for what happened to you. I still can’t believe someone that I hold great respect to, as much as you, would say something like that.

    From the responses of the readers on her blog, I see that many people have some “misunderstanding” of your products. And here’s something I wanted to clarify…

    I’ve bought many products and courses from Ewen and I know that he likes to include many basic stuff like how to buy domain names and set up web hosting, etc… even for the more advance lessons they are usually things like submitting articles , forum posting, on/off site optimization, etc…

    That’s why when many of those so-called “experience” marketers saw these kind of contents, they thought they are paying for trash, because they can usually find them on the internet… for free!

    One thing many people didn’t realized is that what you know is not the most important thing, but more important is how you string together what you’ve learned and then put it into great use.

    And also, you DON’T NEED rocket science to make money online… and NEVER try to reinvent your own wheel when it comes to implement your business strategies. All you need is a system that works, stick to it and then repeat the process as many times as you want.

    This is also something I’ve learned from Ewen, not any other marketers who thought they know it all. Overall I think Ewen did very well on all his products and how his courses have helped many people on the internet.

    I hope this will cheer you up a little, Ewen. Don’t worry, you have my full back for support on this issue.

    Eric

  93. Adrian Lee says:

    Having followed both Ewen Chia and Rosalind Gardner, I am glad to see this issue has been resolved. Water under the bridge and all that.

    The US constitution First Amend does not apply everywhere. In this case, professionalism should apply. If you are publishing on the internet, publishing rules should also apply.

  94. Know what? It backfired on herself.
    It clearly shows how little she knows about auto blogging. Firstly, she has the prerogative to approve. These shit happens in auto-blogging. If she feels so strongly about the issue, just spam that damn auto-post.
    Her hidden agenda is politicking for sympathy votes, but it backfired.
    Next and more importantly, it shows her complete lack of ethics to attack another publicly on the net. Her followers, too are just as dumb as her. You know what they say, birds of a feather F%$K together. Just so other readers know, I’m on Ewen list but have not been his customer, so this is unbiased. Spread love, not hate. That’s how wars start

  95. nyan gyi says:

    so sorry Ewen.

  96. Hey Ewen,
    I would not take It to heart, Maybe she was just having a bad day, She probably could not think of anything else to blog about.
    She Is getting a lot traffic to her blog because of the buss this has caused, But I think she has hurt her self In the long run.
    We all do stupid things sometime.

    Hello Ewen

    Listen buddy, I bought your book … “How I Made My First Million on The Internet” … two years ago, and my friend, as far as I’m concerned you are still … VERY MUCH … the Chief Guru
    Hundreds of thousands of people around the globe have had their futures bettered by ‘your’ hard efforts. A very big “Thank You” from all of us
    Don’t worry about her. We love you.

    Your the man … Your the Boss … Your the marketing Guru

    Best wishes.

  98. Hi Ewen I posted the comment below on Rosalind’s websitesite but as of yet it has not yet appeared :-(
    Hi Rosalind I attended a days Internet Marketing training in London about 4 years ago with Ewen Chia and although I do agree there are some scams out there.
    Ewen has and does teach a lot of valuable information, he also has a passion for his work unlike some of the whiners here who are too busy focusing on the next scam, to ever make any real money online. OK fair enough there are some perfect marketers who never sold a clickbank product in their life.. And wrote every word of their blog posts and content. Yipee Aye Yay to them maybe it’s time to set up an IM award Site :-) … Bottom line is most of them learned lots of the info from someone else I am sure even Matt Cutts was a newbie once upon a time.
    All I can say is I wished I had an email list and a list of followers like Ewen Chia.. I would have better things to do than whine on blogs and forums..
    If you want to focus on Internet Marketing Scams set up an IM scam site you will get all the free original content you can dream of. But at least have the sense not to focus your own negativity on respected marketers directly let the whiners do that. That way you can keep some respect blame it on the whiners… ;-)
    I am sure most marketers have better things to do than worry about whiners anyway.

    Have to say this must of been some good free publicity as well Roslyn..

    Hope You have a nice weekend :-)

    Hi Ewen,
    It takes alsorts alright, As some would say, Some mothers do have them.
    I guess that is the catty act coming to the surface. Anyway I’m sure this is not a
    hurdle for you as compared to Internet Marketing it’self. I just know you have the
    experience & fortitude to withstand this little attack. Usually this sort of thing makes
    one more determined & stronger in what they believe in. So don’t worry be Happy !
    As a person that has invested in your programme in 2010 I will continue to learn
    your programme. Have Another great day, Cheers Rob.

    Hi Ewen,
    Bought some stuffs from you lastly but I never made any money from the methods you taught there, not because they are useless in IM, but because I am lazy….In fact, I’ve not made any sincere attempt yet in the IM field. I reckon I receive lots of mail from you (automated mails I suppose) and for sure I recognise that you must be a damn good IM.
    Never heard of RG before, but her blaming statements towards your personality were just too bold (given that she competes with you in same field). Well jealousy and pride takes nobody anywhere and hence she is now apologising. One thing is for sure, the internet is more transparent than we think it is….this statement I recall from the first free stuff I read from you in the IM field and I think RG as an experienced IM has missed this totally. She will now enjoy her own decline. Worst, most people who adhered to her negative statements towards you were in fact other IM’s….probably all with same jealousy towards you!!!!
    I know you are doing a good work, so please do continue….once somebody told me ” The caravan will continue its way through the village even though hundred dogs bark at it….” It applies to all the RG and Co.
    Keep up!
    Ajay

    Hi Ewen,

    You’re right, I was WAY out of line to post that comment about the quality of your products and for that I do apologize.

    And yes, I see that back in May you started posting real good content on your EwenChia.com blog. Bravo!

    I do however object to your use of the term ‘curation autoblog’ to refer to the site.

    Real curation is quoting a snippet of someone else’s post, then doing the work to analyze the content with your own take on the subject.

    Curation is not autoblogging that uses software to regurgitate content from RSS feeds with no additional original content.

    I know you are capable of much better.

    Cheers,
    Ros”"”

    A possible marketing plot to churn up activities by placing negative tones about others is professionally not encourage, as you always taught us. She can create also a similar tone also to her supporters or anyone if there is any emotional disagreement. So we will need to be aware and be careful of her also. Your reply was factual and gentleman. We will continue to be supportive of your teaching. Thanks Ewen.

  104. George Abraham V says:

    Bro, see it as an opportunity to convert her into your best fan/affiliate. Convince her to attend your seminar and show her that your products do work. She’ll then become the voice for your products… :)

  105. chip says:

    sue her… what she did is actionable… take action and shut her up! you already know the cost to obtain each new subscriber, and you know the amount they will spend during their life cycle on your programs… so do the math. from what i have read from both blogs you’ve lost quite a few subscribers, and more than a couple people are thinking of either not buying from you now, or actually returning their purchase. her blog has sullied your reputation, and has financial back lash. simply stating her opinion is not wrong, accusing you and stating as a fact that you’re shit, and don’t give a shit about your clients is actionable. by-the-way, i just looked at her blog again, and looks like she edited that part out.. however it was posted online long enough to impact your business… one of her lawyers must have told her to take it off… lolz… sue her… take Donal Trump’s advice and don’t put up with that crap and sue her!

  106. ashish patel says:

    Hey friends,

    I just wrote a blog post about this, you must check it out at http://www.ashish-patel.com/rosalind-cyber-attacked-ewen-chia/

  107. I just read through Rosalind’s public apology. While it does suck what Ewen had to go through, at least she apologized and even notified all of subscribers about it. I’ve been learning from her since 2004 and this is the 1st time I’ve ever seen her make a comment like that. For those of you that don’t know her, she is a good person and I have even chatted with her on the phone in the past. We all have businesses to build and we should not let stuff like this get in the way! Let’s move forward and focus on the positives.

  108. Katherine says:

    Hi, Ewen,

    Rosalind Gardner was way off in left field, and totally not right to do that. I’m sorry. I left several posts, replies. It really upset me. It’s not right to you. I like you a lot. And I want you to know that your newest product at http://www.internetmarketer.com is the best ever. I just don’t have $47 a month right now. But I just love it. Can you give me a discount for supporting you? (; (;

  109. Allen says:

    Hi Ewen,
    Just got to know about this as I have been working on my new website the past few days and not been reading emails.
    Sad to see what happened. Does Degrading others make you look great? What RG does is totally disgraceful.
    If she’s out to get publicity, then she had achieved it, albeit a negative one.
    Bro, forgive and forget and just move on with your life.
    You have been and will always be the marketer that I respected most.

  110. Katherine says:

    I don’t need a discount on the product http://www.internetmarketer.com It really is a great product. I did leave about 5 comments on her blog in your support. I do not understand her. Jealousy I’m sure — Take care. You’re a great guy!!!!

  111. Lindley says:

    Hi Ewen,
    Trying to post a comment on Rosalindas blog in support to you. But unfortunately, she closed the comments on the thread. I guess, theres more comments coming in in favor of you that why she choose to close it inorder to minimize the damage to her crediblity as an internetnet marketer.

    I believe in you Ewen. And remember, at the end of the day – what is important is WHO YOU BECOME as a person!

    Cheers – Lindley

  112. sunny ng says:

    my question are
    Q1)” is Rosalind Gardner a GURU”, who can certify her as a GURU, does she said carry weight?
    Q2)when she start become a higher ranking which give her power to comment other people are not GURU?
    Q3)who are qualify to certify her as Higher than GURU?
    Q4)does her comments make society better or just for personal benefits.?
    anyway, i have bought from ewen chia some products, and some i asked for refund, and got my refund, i can verify that Ewen Chia is not cheating, if need i can show my support for true.

    part of internet society.

  114. patrick Lo says:

    Its realy disgusting to see such degrading comments made by a respected (I’m not sure now) Internet Marketer to you.
    The alarming fact is that she used very hurtful and unjustified remarks used with the aim to inflict the harshest kind of character assassination from a minor case of re-posting which I thought is normal in intenet marketing provided you give credit to the original writer.
    I suppose many Internet marketers do face some adversity when they reach star or guru status but this case is the worst I came across.
    At the end it’s the readers who know you well will form the judgement without being influenced by silly comments that sound nutty.
    The fact that you still remain calm whilst rebuting these brutal accusations speaks volume of your courage in defending your integrity.
    Well done Ewen!

    • Ewen Chia says:

      Thanks Patrick!

      I try my best. It was a wrong of her right from the start and I don’t even have a history with her, much less know her. I’m sure anyone would do the same and defend themselves in such a situation.

      The scariest thing is…she STILL DOES NOT get the point. She apologized but has missed the point totally. Her thing about the autoblog issue is a big joke honestly. The joke is IMNewsWatch is doing the exact same thing, why didn’t she go after them instead? She totally missed the point.

      Period. Peace.

      Ewen

  115. Nando says:

    I think I’ve read just about every comment from both sites. Good grief! Is the internet marketing niche growing or getting smaller? To me both Ewen and Roz represent two different types of marketer and appeal to two totally different types of people.

    Your average joe is not going to buy the super affiliate handbook before he buys one of Ewen’s products. Most people start out with Ewen’s newbie targeted products and then branch out from there. I have products from both parties and both of them have helped me to get a better handle on the whole IM/Affiliate marketing business.

    To be quite honest, my first money online came not from one of Ewen’s paid products, but it actually came from information in a FREE REPORT.

    Anyway, I hope we’ll still be able to do business in our respective niches and make a living without anyone trying to bully us around, because that’s just a MASSIVE waste of time.

    Later.

  116. Sharron says:

    Hi Ewen,
    Have just read the comments. Geez! I am definitely a novice with all this ‘internet bus’ so can only comment for me. I met you in Perth last year, invested in your programme and have been following you since. That was a learning experience (big time) I appreciate all and any advice, help or suggestions that you share.
    I thank you, like you and support you.
    Stay calm & happy
    Cheers

  117. Dennsell says:

    Hi Ewen

    Just a thought.. this is one way of checking your popularity and seeing loyalty of followers :)

    Great she did you a favor maybe..
    Keep smiling its a different world nowadays.
    Regards Dennis

  118. Akhere says:

    Hi Ewen,
    It is a pity this happened but I sincerely loved the way you handled the situation, it was very mature and gentlemanly. Good she apologized and reconsidered her negative remarks about you. Keep shinning Ewen and repay evil with good.

  119. Brenda says:

    Hi Ewen,
    With so few high profile women in the IM space it’s unfortunate that Ros went on the attack with such viciousness. Makes the rest of us look bad. Men can be aggressive in business and that’s usually ok. But women ALWAYS come across as bitches. It’s always been that way.
    Anyway, calling you (or anyone) out by name was just wrong. Or maybe a brilliant publicity stunt gone wrong.
    That being said, my guess is that her blog has never been this active and she has attracted a lot of new attention from people not in MLM.
    Cheers,
    Brenda

  120. ManDan says:

    Anyway, this HOT issue bring (gives) both marketeer an awesome leverage…I did respect ewen for his proven effort by being well known all over the internet business community (rather than me – just an old drop-down with nothing to show :-)
    But ewen did disappoint me once with a twitter marketing product valued at $9 or $10 dollar sometimes not long ago when i googled and get the exact same book with only $1 buck.
    Anyway, not so many can survive and stand out from the crowd like ewen did – i admitted that.
    (Me? I’m just a moment away from being buried…)

  121. Adwello says:

    I have read favourable national press interviews on Ewen Chia and heard him speak in video interviews – I purchased his excellent paperback book “How I made my first million on the internet” and although I personally knew pretty much all the information contained because I have studied this topic for 13 years, I was intrigued and delighted with his generous offer at the back of the book of extra free information downloadable online. Now, there is an ebook in this package which is extremely impressive in its depth: it is more Success Mindset than Internet Marketing, and Mr Chia shares a gem of a reason why we can know so much yet still fail so much! I’m divulging nothing – get this for yourself – go to Amazon books and order the paperback – you’ll get the download link in there – this will clear your heart and mind and allow you to reach greater heights in your business and career than you ever dreamed possible – it is the KEY to your financial success in life, no matter what else you know. I am very widely read and I assure you Mr Chia has information no one else has, to help you succeed.

    So I endorse his book at no profit to myself. I have purchased Mr Chia’s 24 hour Internet Business package and I tell you honestly, in it I learned everything I now know about the basics of good blogging using WordPress, including how to monetize your blog. My 4 blogs repeatedly top Google for the keywords I select, and this is all thanks to the information Mr Chia shares in this low cost course which I recommend. You may or may not make money but you will become a blogging expert. What price knowing how to rank top on Google at will? You will make money with this knowledge one way or another if you practice the course contents. Thankyou, Mr Chia!

    Finally I would like to applaud Mr Chia for his remarkable efforts in mastering the difficult English language which is NOT his mother tongue in order to share his business enlightenment with the English speaking world. Internet marketing would be much the poorer without Ewen Chia, who, I am informed, regularly tops the super affiliate contests for selling the most products: you may or may not like a successful man but I say success speaks for itself – it is clearly evident to me that Mr Chia has taken the time to build himself a long list of loyal customers who buy from him time and again because they trust him. It seems to me that all the evidence points to the simple fact that Ewen Chia is a man of wisdom and business who develops valuable joint venture products and is well respected in his professional field.

    I suspect we all secretly wish for the financial success of Mr Ewen Chia! May the sun rise forever on his aspirations and may he continue to light our marketing with the brilliance of his insights gained from extensive experience in the world of sales and product development. G’day to y’all – Adwello :D

  122. It trips me out to hear about reposting content as though it were a bad thing? As long as a trackback link was given then the original author should be greatful esp when the reposter is someone as famous as Ewen Chia :!:

    Interestingly enough this reposting practice used to be known as riffing back in the day…today it is known as “content curation” and it is the common practice of curating content that enables more viewers to get hold of your works. Ppl who may not have heard of you from your own site might get a whiff of your content from elsewhere thanks to the fine art of “content curation”..

    Well Ewen, I just want you to know that you can curate my content anytime :)

  123. Ewen,
    I have purchased many of your products and can’t fathom the source of this woman’s personal and unprofessional attack upon you and your successful IM business. You’ ve helped so many of us get on the right track and avoid the typical pitfalls of working on the Internet—moreover, you teach us to succeed! We should all just continue to praise your body of work and ignore this pathetic and extremely unprofessional attack and behavior. I believe you reap what you sow and that should bring you each what you deserve. Keep on doing your testing and striving to make the Internet better!

  124. Jana Rudisill says:

    Hi Ewen,
    I have followed you for a long time now. Since I have been on the Internet for over 18 years now, I had heard of both of you for years now. Though I am in the same field, I know for a fact that Internet Marketing as an ‘Industry’ has become extremely competitive. It is a fact also that it is full of scams and hype. I do feel, however, that very little in the Internet marketing niche is ‘new’ or ‘unique’ enough for anyone to have a hissy fit over a trackback.
    As for ‘auto-blogging’ using RSS feeds and trackback links – no one would post them unless they felt the material was valuable. “Imitation is the height of Flattery”

    The search engines love an ‘active’ blog with lots of new ‘posts,’ and auto-posting and trackbacks help a blog satisfy the search engines. Rosalind must have had another issue that put her in the frame of mind to lash out in such a way. Hope she realizes that such attacks can go both ways. Once one opens the door by attacking someone, they have left it open long enough to let in a few attacks on themself.

    As long as you keep doing the best you can do and keep on helping others, you should not be concerned with these attacks. Those of us who have followed you know the value of your work. Keep your head up and let such comments fall away like water off the back of a duck. You have done no wrong and she has belittled herself in full view of everyone.

    I always say, “There is no right in doing wrong – no wrong in doing right”.

    Hang in there Ewen, you are loved by many.

    Jana

  125. Ewen, I am so sorry to see her post regarding you and your material. I have been following you for years. I have stumbled across Rosalind more times than I can remember, but I have never understood her way of marketing.

    I know internet marketing is getting more and more competitive as time goes on, but I didn’t realize we were down to attacking one another. In doing so, we only destroy our credibility in the marketplace. Instead of criticizing you, and your work in general, she should have taken the matter directly to you instead of creating a “fan club” against you.

    I feel your information is worth keeping up with and will not stop listening to new ideas and trends, no matter what someone, who would get so emotional about such a small thing, rants about.

    We are all struggling to compete, but I think you are doing a fine job. Keep it up.

  126. You could definitely see your enthusiasm in the paintings you write. The arena hopes for even more passionate writers like you who are not afraid to mention how they believe. Always follow your heart.

  127. I think that you know how to make people listen to what you have to say, especially with an issue thats so important

  128. I’ll be back as you update.
