Hi mates! I know this is a strategy to boost your sales by improving your position in the search engine. When we were newbies, we also used to do this practice, but we never forced any feedback on an actual track. Thatās why authors using Feedback 4 Feedback thread.
I think Iām a kind person who helps others with pleasure but commenting itās really about goodwill and I also learned this from older, more experienced authors and we donāt use this practice anymore, nor the āFeedback 4 Feedbackā thread.
Of course, if we get a comment on a fresh track we will give it back with no problem, but when you ask me to comment on an actual track it makes me mad, in particular when your track is in another price category then what I prefer to help with this practice.
Please try to understand that āx kindaā prices are dumping the whole market which is bad for you, bad for all of us if you are thinking in a long term.
I will not enter into any pricing discussion because itās forbidden on Forums, but please take a good piece of advice from us, and use the new discount tool if you want to attract more your customers and mainly donāt force any feedback from other hard-working authors who try to maintain a healthy portfolio.
I hid the details on my screenshot because I really donāt want to be an @s*hole, but this was not the first time when we get these kinds of comments, and now is enough.
I also dislike the way in which some authors like to battle with authors to appear on authors portfolio by playing the follow un-follow tactic. I wish we could have a button that deleted these characters from our follow list. It drives me nuts by the same 3 or 4 authors who ride the coat tail of others. I just wish this leech-like behaviour would stop, amongst other things on this marketplace.
Hey Layla,
From what I know it is not allowed to promote your item on other authorsā comment pages. Flag the message and report them, this is what I do in these cases.
Marian
I know what you mean Layla! When I first started up here on AJ, I tried out that thread to see what it was all about. Itās exhausting, time-consuming, disingenuous and from what I could see, pointless! Itās hard to tell whether the ones that comment "Hereās my nice comment, now please comment on my track here: insert url link to their trackā¦" either didnāt read Audio Trendās instructions properly, or are just trying to sneak extra traffic to their page. Hopefully, itās the former, but as Graham mentioned, judging by some of the cheap tricks that some folks get up to, It wouldnāt surprise me if it was the latter.
I canāt imagine many customers even check the comments section, but if you want to remove those comments, you can click the little flag icon at the top right and put the reason for deletion as unwarranted and unprofessional advertising or something like that.
Iām new to AudioJungle so I find all this very interesting. I can fully appreciate what youāre saying and I also donāt really get the āyou review mine and Iāll review yoursā type of approach as if the curators have accepted the track as being good enough then thatās it really and as far Iām concerned then, the only real person who matters is a customer who might buy it.
As Iām new Iām still trying to get my head around the standard rejection and as Iād had a track accepted and a couple rejected I couldnāt really see why, so I posted a link to one of the rejected tracks and asked for feedback. I did this with the intention of upping my game as I donāt want to waste the reviewers time uploading tracks that arenāt good enough for whatever reason as that obviously increases the review time for everyone else as well as me. Do you seasoned Authors see that as OK or is that frowned upon also.
