Hey Dummy...Give Me Your Money

Revealed for the first time in this amazing new easy no brainer killer instant wealth e-course where the Guru will take you by the hand and walk you step-by-step through the amazing process of creating massive sales and profits by duplicating the outstanding results of the most successful smucks, shiesters and shamiels on the planet.....sound familiar?

Indeed it is possible to start an Internet business for less monetary investment than most brick and mortar enterprises. The downside is that getting started can be a rough road, especially if one falls prey to the cacophony of so called Internet marketing gurus out there hawking their wares. The one thing they all have in common is appealing to our base instincts to get something for nothing, or our willingness to be lured down the garden path with promises of secrets to be revealed within their lairs. After some observation, it also becomes evident that gurus are a small clique who cross promote each others latest instant wealth scheme, regardless of value, as long as it generates income from 'wanna be rich' groupies. The key to overcoming the sirens of doom to your wallet is to glean all that you can from their free newsletters without giving in to temptation.

Now and then a good and legitimate Internet marketing offer comes along, but it takes finesse and critical thinking to isolate them. So it is prudent to be patient when starting out on your own and not get caught up in the urgency of the sales promotion. It is impossible not to get caught in some traps as these folks have honed the art of hype and what they call salesmanship ie., getting you to give them your money, to a fine point. And no doubt, one mans legitimate marketer is another mans shiester, but nonetheless, exercise discipline and critical analysis unless you have deep pockets with resources to spare. Also be aware of a new sleaze making the rounds where something is offered for free in exchange for three email addresses of your friends or associates. Essentially they are asking you to spam your acquaintances for them. Don't do it.

What will ultimately succeed online, in my judgment, in not the fevered one page sales extravaganza with the price in small print and credit card box way at the bottom, but rather a reasoned presentation of all the facts, benefits and features, yes features, packaged in such a way to actually offer real value for the money. The problem here is, that being honest and legitimate with a sense of morality will eliminate the majority of hustles out there, and they have to eat too, right? The hardest part I have found, working on a tight budget, is postponing legitimate offers that may assist my business that will only have value down the line. It is a good idea to earmark and keep all these offers in a folder for review later after your business takes form and future needs are better recognized. Later on, many of these must have ebooks and software will reveal themselves to be overpriced or worthless, or even more insulting, offered as free giveaways.

Most people simply want knowledge or information that will help them make decisions or lighten their burden at work or in life. They also want to be treated with intelligence and respect. Just like life outside the cyber world, it is better to treat people fairly and offer good value and quality if you want to attract and keep new customers for the longer haul. What? An old time virtue in today’s modern hit and run world? In my view, the longer haul is the real key, but many newbies are taken in by the lure of instant riches, and follow the path of least resistance offered by slick hypesters, and this sycophant behavior consequently keeps the would be robber barrons in business.

It is true that everything nowadays seems to boil down to doing the numbers, and the more 'messages' automatically put in front of prospective buyers, the better likelihood to catch a fish. I cannot argue with facts, and I find it discouraging that studies show that only 2 percent of any given population actually think for themselves. The remainder need to be persuaded and cajoled before they can make a decision. As a result of this fact, we as a society are saddled with Internet marketers, politicians, religions and mass market media who know full well how to work the system.

Also keep in mind that as the Internet expands and matures, users will hopefully become more sophisticated at spotting frauds no matter how well camouflaged in the latest hype and techno speak. Actually, I am looking forward to the new Video presence of our guru friends. They will either be obviously choreographed, which tells me they already have enough money, or they will provide a laugh or two by their obvious buffoonery. Furthermore, always read down to the bottom of the sales pitch and find the price before wasting time reading the whole swan song. It will save you lots of time as most pitches are void of a single shred of fact. Only do business with those who offer iron clad refunds, and subsequently do not be hesitant to demand one if you feel short changed. Online businesses that take the time to create a well designed, pleasant and easily negotiable and informative website, offering good value, and that respect their client's time and intelligence are the ones who will eventually get customer loyalty and make the Internet something more then just another bazaar for charlatans.

A Marketing Conundrum
Ignoring the problem or getting bent out of shape over it isn’t going to make it go away. I am referring to the sad state of affairs of modern day popular culture and just how far from authenticity we have sunk in our search for meaning in life. Much of the world is entering what is being called the 'Bread and Circuses' phase of declining empire. A phase preoccupied with credit binging, fiat money and spectacle. The Romans went through a similar period of decay, Nero fiddling while Rome...

Gold is Golden
Now is the Time to Invest in something Real to Assure a Good Life Tomorrow. Gold surpasses $500. an ounce after a long slumber and it is still one of the worlds greatest bargains. Every day it is becoming more evident that stocks, bonds, and property in America and most of the Anglo-Saxon world are propped up on borrowed money and borrowed time. In the last half of 2005 alone, U.S. households spent well over $500 billion more than their after-tax earnings. How is this possible? By...

The No Cost No Obligation Secret to Success
Most people say they want to be successful, but beyond saying the word, they have no clear mental concept of what success is. Getting what you really want is one definition. Attainment. Not some abstract want, like it would be nice to have this or that, but a real emotionally charged passion for something specific that you know would give you pleasure or satisfaction. Ask yourself why you want this, list the reasons. Imagine you have what you want, how does it feel? Still feel convinced, or...

I am Charmed, and You?
Possessing a charming way will open many doors. The latent charm lurking within you is your secret and hidden away gold mine. Your charm is like a pearl inside the oyster, and once it is discovered and polished can highlight and greatly enrich your personality and success. Charm is that intangible quality within you, that when uncovered and freed from suffocating baggage, can add a subtle power to your presence that is irresistibly pleasing. The influence of this charm will attract, calm,...
