There are good sponsors that have a bad deal but what I have seen typically is the sponsor lacks significant experience - they have experience in marketing and raising money - which is not hard when you are promoting 15%-40% returns that clearly were not achievable on a consistent basis. 

Chris Semak unfortunately BP doesn’t let me share articles on here because they view it as self promotion.

There is a very fine line between "helpful" and "self promotion".

But the unique stays are doing good and being promoted more on AIRBNB website.

@Michael Plante - the urinal gets promoted to the garage

One of our students ranks #1.This is their stats:The guy ranking #1, is one of our students and I have access to his stats and leads:They have 33,000 backlinks while the guy ranking #1 only has 20 brutally outperforming them both in ranking and I can assure you, I DOUBT they get (many if any) SEO leads in that market.Carrot was promoting them because they make money off of each other completely fooling many people that blindly trust Carrot. 

Tried posting it here but got in trouble for self promoting.  

I always steer clear of Angie's List, Yelp, BP Vendor, Dave Ramsey Select Vendors, or any other service that charges the vendor for membership and then promotes the list to the public as if trust, excellence, and performance have ANYTHING to do with the list selection. 

This was your bizarre comment, "Anyone else getting the sneaking suspicion that REI Reply hired someone in the Philippines to make several profiles on BP and try to promote their service??"

Nowhere is wholesaling the attractive “lifestyle” promoted by people with something to sell you.
