Comparing Internet Marketing with Snake Oil:The Difference
Well, I have the habit of exaggerating things a liitle bit but I believe that you’ve had come across a few unbelievable claims when it comes to internet marketing. That’s the aim of this site really. To root out the lies and give you the real and fair appraisal on how to succeed with Internet Marketing.
Hate to break it to you but there is no such thing as a free lunch and any shortcuts will give temporary results which easily disappear rapidly. I think a lot of Internet Marketing salesmen (or gurus lol) and those horse race tipsters you meet in the races, the ones that sell ‘tips’, for a fee. This mistake is evident in both business models. If a tipster could back enough winners to make a profit, so in theory, he has unlimited profit as long as he can find someone to take his or her bets,then why would he give out and share the information? The answer? Well, he had tried the information first and FAILED miserably. That is why they are selling you the information, their first and preferred business model didn’t work the first time, so they fall back on their plan B, which is to sell the information to any mug that comes along.
Sadly, so it is with Internet Marketing. Not surprisingly given the size of the burgeoning Internet economy, there are a lot of people out there who have quietly been making hundreds of thousands, if not millions, with tried and trusted systems, which are usually built in house. These kind of systems have always tried being legitimate, at least in terms of the search engine lawmakers, but in truth, Google will find out what they really are and that’s where everything ends, your river of cash dries out. That’s what these snake oil snalesmen would appear by the dozen, once their ’system’ is no longer working to it’s maximum, that’s when they sell it to YOU. Of course, they will show you statements of their Google and Paypal accounts that show ‘proof’ that, at one time, their system did indeed work. But be aware that these no longer work or at least not well enough, and that is why they are selling it to you. And as top seo services would tell you, prepare a huge amount of time and effort repairing them.
They will create every argument in the book to make you buy. Limited offers, price going up tomorrow, buy this and get THIS free, you know, in Internet marketing, every sales trick is allowed. But the big question they never answer is this:
“If the system is that darn good then why don’t they just employ a few people, hundreds even, and then have them work on the system on their behalf?” The short answer is, that is what they USED to do, when it worked. Now that it’s shelf life is definitely limited, that is when they sell it to you..
So, in summary, when it comes to Internet Marketing you need to purchase with your eyes wide open and if something is too good to be true, then trust me, it probably is.
