The Dark Side of Internet Marketing

The world of Internet marketing is an interesting one indeed.

On the one hand, it’s great that it exists.

Starting a profitable business costs very little. You don’t have to worry about getting a lump sum of money. You just need a few hundred dollars to build a website and email list.

You have access to potential customers worldwide (For the most part).

You have the ability to promote yourself fast, and for free. Social media is a great example. SEO is another one. There’s also YouTube. And of course, sweet, sweet email.

But like everything else in life, there’s always a dark side that co-exists with the good.

While Internet marketing is known for being lucrative, there are also people in that world that do a lot of unethical things.

Plagiarism is a huge problem, in particular.

On YouTube, certain Internet Business Mentors have been caught copying other gurus’ videos. As in, copying the video title, thumbnail (Not all the time), and the content itself. The whole nine yards.

If you want, you can see for yourself. I’ll give you two examples.

Go to YouTube.com

Search up “how to overcome fear and anxiety in 30 seconds” or “i retired rich at 27.”

Like always, I won’t spill certain names. I’ll leave that up to you to find out.

But what I find mind-blowing is that they get away with it. And if someone calls them out and criticizes them, they’ll do everything they can do to take the evidence down.

It’s a big head-shaker to say the very least.

I’ve also heard stories where people have used other business owners’ emails word-for-word, and sent them to their own list as if they wrote it themselves.

I wonder how these people sleep at night.

With all that said, these are the types of people I don’t want on my email list or using my products and services.

Though How to Become an Email Titan does give examples of the way I teach emails, it’s not for you to use word-for-word.

The best emails are the ones that come from your own brain.
