For those who cannot handle very authoritative language, then please leave now. Many people who read this will do so with clenched fists, hear me well. Let them, because I WILL EXPOSE the massive con-job that many marketers are guilty of. This article series is a serious death blow to a very lucrative scam network that is located in the affiliate marketing business.
Hold on if you are thinking that I am downing affiliate marketing. I am not! Affiliate marketing is a perfectly legal business. And in most cases it is for real. And that is where the problem is coming from. Because it is real, the clever ones are using this to their advantage. Very shrewd thinkers they are. May they hear these words loud and clear as I set out to lower their incomes by a notch, or even more. And I intend on doing just that.
But wait just a minute, before you can receive these great secrets, you must hurry up and pay me $29.95.
Only then will I give you another worthless set of instructions that will send you even more into the matrix of internet confusion. By the way, I am not charging you anything to receive this. FOR ONCE, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS FINALLY FREE ALREADY!
Charging is their way.
Newsflash! I will NOT CHARGE you for this information. You get it for free, if you can still remember what free even means, seeing how these merciless butchers on the internet killed the meaning of the word altogether. Don't forget, free was married to grace, and now free is dead and buried. Now grace is a widow with no husband. Do the clever ones have a conscience?
There, I have vented a little bit. Now I will vent out by giving you the most clever, howbeit legal, scam jobs on the internet. For FREE! NO STRINGS ATTACHED. NO HIDDEN MOTIVES. Nothing. Period!
Affiliate marketing for those of you who are catching up to what it even is, is when someone or a company has something to sell. They will allow an affiliate to go out and advertise their product for them. This is done in many different ways. If the product sells, the company or person gets their money, and the affiliate gets a commission. This is perfectly legal. And there is nothing wrong with getting a commission for a job well done.
For some, affiliate marketing is very profitable. But for approximately 90% of marketers, it is the most UN-profitable business there is. Why is that? Well, to come along and explain why most fail, we have the all too convenient advice from those who do succeed.
Scam #1. In order to find out why you fail so miserably at marketing, you must therefore lose even further by PAYING some marketing guru for his/her fabulous advice. Forget about loving thy neighbor. Think deeper my friend, something stinks really bad here.
If indeed such a person is SO SUCCESSFUL, then why in the world must they charge someone else for their advice. If such people succeed at every turn with their advertising products, then why is their ADVICE products the very ones they are advertising? Hello! Is it more true to say that they are succeeding by the sales of their great ADVICE products?
This is still legal, and something is really being sold. There might even be some good stuff in these products too. There would have to be, to even get any attention, right? There is nothing like fake honesty to get the job done, and oh so cleverly. If somebody is such a good salesman, then what is there to fear in revealing all these juicy secrets to others? Is there not enough for everybody, or is the everybody only exclusive to an exclusive club of self exalted internet pioneers? Perhaps these are people that are so successful that we need to appoint THEM to congress and fix everything for us, right?
My advice, do not buy anything from anyone that gives success secrets. If it is not truly free, then only money is going to influence what you are reading. Not a very reliable proposition.
Scam #2. I am a Millionaire scam.
First you will read of how such and such made their fortune. It sounds so impressive and has you on the edge of your seat. Oh boy, if only that could be you. Wow, what do these people do that I don't? Its got to be real, I see the picture of their sports car, and what a smile these people are giving. They must really know something, and I got to have it.
And oh yes, most of these people may really have the money that they claim too. I do not deny it. And you can find out how they did it, but only after you pay a decent chunk of money. That is right, you must PAY once again.
Why in this world must these millionaires charge for their great secrets if they have so much money already? I guess they cannot pay their bills, right? Are they not out there marketing too? Or are they just marketing their marketing secrets? Which is it? Of course it is legal once again, but it is not righteous even by a long shot. Spare me the success photo shots. Now go to the bottom and get rich from the trenches like everyone else.
My advice, do not buy any advice from guru millionaires who have all the answers for you. If it means toughing it out, then so be it. Stop making these fakes so darned rich. They are exploiting people who are in need, and probably do not care about those down below. The feeling could very well be mutual.
Scam #3. The Sub-Affiliate roundup.
What might this be? Here is the biggy. Do NOT fall for this one, for many out there on the net are using this to the max. It is legal, and it is ok with the companies that have affiliates. I must say, that I disagree with any company allowing sub-affiliates. It is a perfect platform for a very clever roundup of unsuspecting newbie marketers.
Much like a Clever cattle roundup if you will.
What is being done to the unsuspecting is border-lining with being outright cruel. It, in my point of view, is an act that has no conscience on the part of the perpetrator. Before I explain this very dirty trick, let me warn you strongly about people's great make money online programs. Many are selling this sub affiliate idea, and doing so with absolutely no conscience of what they are doing.
Let me make up a name. I will use Joe. Joe clicks through the internet and finds real products to advertise, and products that have decent or better commission. Joe knows how vast the internet is, and how much money and time it takes to advertise people's products. So he comes up with a grand idea. Joe invents a way to have employees under him that he is not paying at all.
Employees that he is not legally responsible for at all. Joe puts up ads for people to hurry up and make money online. Of course, he must use a little bit of fake honesty and say mother Theresa things like "this is not a get rich quick scheme." This gives credibility to Joe. He suddenly becomes a great hero. A monetary saviour.
People sign up for Joe's great program thinking that this is for real. And IT IS! For if it wasn't real, then not even Joe could make any money. But that is not what is on Joe's mind. He is out to make TONS of Money. And he knows how to do it. But he MUST keep the unsuspecting from finding this out.
People sign up, and oh boy, look at the speed people are signing up for Joe's program. Wow!
They sign up so fast because Joe has a message displaying on the sign up page to hurry up, for there is only 30 positions left. And if you don't hurry, then you will lose out on Joe's free training material that normally costs a bogus $1000 or more.
Once signed up, you must get a website or other methods to advertise your products. It looks so easy. Build it and they will come is what Joe has made you believe. Just the same as HE BUILT IT and you came. What a fantastic con-job. Good work Joe. You must be laughing in the background. You must be enjoying that posh mansion, huh?
You can see the commissions rolling in. Now you are about to learn what Joe won't tell you up front. Most commission based advertising will wait to see what commissions you built up for the month, and then you MUST wait another 35 days to even get paid. Would anybody like to tell me, that with today's technology, why it would take so long to GET PAID?! That in itself is wrong, but that is another story.
Joe's new unpaid employees go out in fervor to advertise the products. Did I forget to ask how much of your commissions that Joe gets, that he is not telling you about? Do you think that he will be honest with you? Maybe even half-honesty?
Joe has now built up 500 advertisers under him, and most of them do not even realize what Joe is getting from their work. Now instead of Joe doing all the advertising HIMSELF, he can now comb much more of the internet by having other people do it for him. For all the sales people make, Joe gets his cut. And he is not even doing the work. Very clever Joe. Where were you when we needed world peace? Or are you going to charge for that too?!
Joe is SO gracious though. He has teaching materials that he claims has a value of at least a $1000 or more. He loves you so much, that he is willing to take a FALSE pay cut, and give it to you for free. What a great guy! Joe gives you videos and reading materials that show you step by step how to PAY for advertising on Google, Yahoo, and wherever else.
You get all this free training, so that YOU get to pay for the advertising expense, while Joe gets to collect from his 500 sub-affiliates. What a deal! Rome could have used you. Imagine that, you get the wonderful privilege of paying for advertising, while Joe sits in his posh home raking it all in. Your hard work sure has paid off for Joe. But Joe will never thank you for all the money that you spent on HIS advertising.
But don't worry. Joe claims to have FREE advertising coupons to give you for signing up. He makes you believe that he wheeled and dealed to get them for you. He did not! The coupons are automatic anytime you sign up to advertise, whether it is for pay per click, Yahoo, etc...
Joe did not do you any favors. But he sure looks good. Now don't think that Joe is not advertising some on his own, for he is. That is why he makes sure that you get all the training you need to PAY for your advertising, while Joe is busy out there advertising for pennies, if that. He does not want you to know the FREE ways to advertise, and especially the MOST effective ways. Oh no, because you might get a little too smart, and leave Joe to advertise just for you. And that would mean competition for Joe. Joe doesn't want to spend too much on advertising, that is why he wants you to do it for him, while he rakes it in.
My advice, NEVER become a sub-affiliate. Make sure that you advertise for you and you alone. Nobody else. Let everybody do their own work. Oh how we see the successful people get on video exclaiming how great their business is going, and how they get all these thousands of dollars. Don't believe it. For in many cases, their bragging is mis-directed. Why would they brag? Shouldn't it be all the sub-affiliates that should be getting the credit?
It is not the great wisdom of some marketing guru in most cases. Peoples success many times is only a reflection of other peoples hard work and great ideas. I would call that credibility theft.
Never, and I mean ever, fall for the "there is only so many positions left catchline."
It is scam central, and spiritually it is flat out LYING. Check it out. Go to these so many position left sites, and see the next day how the available positions miraculously go back up overnight. And also, do not fall for clocks that are ticking down to only so many minutes left until such and such an offer expires. Balogney! Hogwash! The Scam Police have BUSTED you. And we place you under spiritual arrest. Take your scams and leave.
People, do not fall for these people anymore. There is true money to be made in affiliate marketing. Make sure that you go directly through a company, and never through such and such. They can make their own money. No offense to people themselves, but enough is enough already. It is past time to clamp down on internet fakery.
Read part two, and I will tell you more of the juicy secrets that these affiliate gurus are concealing from you.
Honesty is the ONLY true resource that we have left. My name Is Kenneth Vance. I pray that you are helped by what you have read today. I believe that you are.
