Learning the ropes of Internet Marketing is one of the
hardest things to do; even more so if you are a Newbie
to computers and the Web.
I remember watching the movie "The Flim Flam Man" and
heard the quote "You Can't Con an Honest Man."
The above quote, taken in the context of the movie,
did make perfect sense. The movie dialog implied that
the selfish desire to gain an unethical edge was the hook
the experienced con man used to snare his victims or
"pigeons." In the end, the victims fell for the con
because they had a disregard for the Golden Rule!
I'm bringing this up because the thinking implied by
the quote doesn't fit many of the offers the Internet
Newbie will encounter while searching for a business guide.
You can be a good, honest and hard working person and
still fall for many of the traps awaiting you in cyberspace!
The most appealing target for the experienced Web con
man, is the Newbie's lack of experience and knowledge!
All over the Net there are offers constantly bombarding
Newbies with the latest systems and applications; "new"
methods that will grow a business with a minimum effort!
Some of them are given fancy names: "the K-15 System
Will Make You Wealthy!" or, "You Have a Ground Floor
Opportunity with G-ZAP, get in now because it won't be
available tomorrow...."
The above offers should be investigated from heat to
toe! Many of them are simply more of the same re-hashed
information aimed at Internet business Newbies.
One of the main reasons Internet Marketers continue
coming up with so many new programs, applications and
systems is known as "Internet Time." Internet products
have a very short shelf life; what was the latest thing a
year ago will now be old news!
That isn't to say there aren't good systems and
technology. However, due diligence is a requirement to
ascertain the value of any offer presented.
Take your time and look at the offer to examine it with a
fine tooth comb! You should check out any buzzword
filled business offer with extra caution!
Ask all the questions you need answered until you're
sure you understand what you're getting into. If there
are no straight answers to be had, perhaps you should
reconsider.
