Buyer Beware! Desperate Times Feed Desperate Needs

Internet-watchdogI’ve noticed a lot is being written lately regarding Internet Marketers and their Internet Marketing Scams.

Really not a whole lot is new in all of that fuss. After all, it used to be called simple Mail Fraud. Why would we be surprised to see the same type of shysters taking to the Internet and not having to wait weeks for the checks to come in?

What is coming to light is the sort of IMM (Internet Marketing Mafia) that has established itself over the years. And it is a slick operation, too.

When it comes to the obvious grandiose (fraudulent?) claims like:

“Make $9,000 an hour in your underwear by setting up this money-sucking system no one knows about before the cat is out of the bag and your neighbor buys his own island instead of you! Take action now because only *fill in any number here* are being offered!”

Shame on you for falling for the crap that pushes your Greedy-Lazy-Get-Something-For-Nothing buttons.

Marketing is a science. Words have meaning and carry a lot of weight. That is why copywriters are a special breed. The best of them demand, and get, outrageous sums of money to take you through the ‘sales funnel’.

More Than Simple, Outrageous Fraud

Are you some kind of Internet guru that has more traffic than they already know what to do with?

Then forget about It! Rest on your laurels and enjoy your vacation time.

Otherwise, come up with a solid excuse of just why you would want to pass up increasing your traffic starting NOW(!), instead of waiting another few days.

We know this could be one of those things you say, “Self, I need to do this. I’ll bookmark it and get back to it as soon as I …”

Like Mr. Nike says, “Just Do It!”

Is It Worth The Risk Of Losing Half of Your Market?

Waiting for a video download?

I am quite confused by seeing so many marketing mavericks going almost exclusively with video marketing and content delivery.

In my sales training, I was taught to avoid doing anything that may, in any way, alienate a prospective customer.

Does anyone doing video marketing and presentations realize that over 35% of American homes still lack access to high-speed (broadband) connections according to the most recent reports I could find.

Even more simply refuse to pay the highest rates in the world for the slowest speeds. The National Broadband Plan or Denial of Service

If you are one that is still stuck with a dial-up connection, or have chosen to cut-back on some household expenses, how do you react to having to wait for some video to download so you can just get a sales pitch? Continue reading “Is It Worth The Risk Of Losing Half of Your Market?” »
