Morale Dilemma - Should I Spoil My Relationship Just For A Review?

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I won't bore you with too much detail but this is my issue:

I review Internet Marketing products.

I recently reviewed a product which I liked and gave a nice review for. I got chatting with the author and he has agreed to do an interview with me and this seems like it could lead onto better things down the line. He is a platinum ClickBank vendor.

The author then mentioned he has a close friend who also has a product which is currently selling very well on ClickBank. I asked if I could review that as well because the sales page seemed reasonable - not the usual overhyped crap you tend to see.

He accepted and I got free access.

Once I got inside the members area I can see that it is a genuine product but it is not really something I would recommend.


My Dilemma

There is no way I will recommend this product....But....

How can I get out of this without hurting this guy's feelings?

How can I get out of this without damaging my new relationship with the original author because I really want to build on this, it can lead to much bigger things.

However, if I turn this down or give my honest opinion then he won't want to do any more work with me, if that makes sense.

Any input would be greatly appreciated! 50 heads is better than one!
