Internet Marketing Newbies Are You Being Scammed?

If you are new to internet marketing , you can be 99.9% sure that sooner or later you will be scammed, you will end up buying a heap of products which will be of no use to you.

Lets have a chat about all the scams floating around out there. A scam does not mean that someone is stealing your money without you knowing about it, a scam can simply mean that you are conned into the "next best book or fantastic money making product or system on offer.

You know what they say 'if it is to good to be true then it usually is"there are literally thousands of programs and e-books available to purchase on the net, promising the world, most are of a very low quality, promising great wealth and riches, if you follow their instructions, but the facts are, most of these so called "expert" marketers are simply preying on people trying to earn a living online.

I know what I am talking about I spent a mint when I first started on the net and it was only when I joined a membership site and learned how to things the right way that I started to have success.


When being offered products online here are three things to watch out for;

1. Products, Mentoring and Training Programs Which Cost Thousands Of Dollars

When these so called experts are telling you that you can make millions with their programs, rest assured they are only after your money. investigate thoroughly before giving away your cash, Rome was not built in a day and neither is an internet business.


2. Low Quality Products

When you have purchased a product from someone which has turned out to be of low quality, don't be fooled into buying their next product. Many of the self proclaimed "guru,s" will continue to pump out utter garbage so long as you keep buying it...the quality never gets any better from product to product. which means you never learn anything of value. Save your money!

3. Unrealistic Claims

No matter what you are told, becoming a success overnight is just not possible, regardless of what they say in their sales copy or website.

If you are new to internet marketing treat you business like a business ( after all thats what it is) and take the time to learn how to market the right way, from the very beginning.

By paying attention to these three things you will save yourself a heap of money and pain.

Internet marketing training , if you are new to online marketing , then internet marketing training courses are a must, and if you ever hope to become a successful internet marketer, online membership sites are an excellent way to learn the skills you will need.

Internet marketing has a huge learning curve, so when I hear people complaining about their lack of success and how much money it is costing them, the first question I ask is"what internet marketing training courses have you taken"? and the answer will usually be "none, I bought all these e-books to show me how to do it" Believe me I know how you feel, I did exactly what you are doing, I too spent a fortune on "how to books"with very little results.

It was not until a friend recommended an online membership site called Wealthy Affiliate which I joined and still belong to to this day, that my that my business started to take of , my monthly spend whilst learning how to become a successful internet marketer reduced from hundreds of dollars a month to just $29.95 a month.
