How Not To Lose Money On The Internet
Are you jaded by the masses of recycled product and outdated techniques being peddled by self-proclaimed ‘gurus’ in the name of ‘Internet Marketing’?
In the ‘real’ world, an ineffective product soon loses its place in the marketplace, since the market - equipped with relevant information about a product’s performance - reacts favourably to those products that work and soon drops those that don’t. The difference in the world of Internet Marketing is that performance information is the most effective power tool vendors have to sell their products. As a result, true performance information becomes thin on the ground.
Which is why you need to register with ProAffiliateMarketing.com and rate the products you have personal experience of.
ProAffiliateMarketing.com exists because too many people get ripped off, spend thousands on ‘scarce’, ‘hot’, ‘proven’ products, ebooks, membership programs, etc. and achieve nothing. Carefully crafted sales pages and ‘bought’ testimonials accompany PayPal, ClickBank, etc. accounts with varying degrees of successful activity, persuading the buyer through emotional hooks, to part with their cash on the back of the ‘no-brainer’ deal where their risk is removed by the ‘no-questions-asked’ guarantee.
Of course, as buyers of much of this information, rehashed and repackaged, we are supported by the existence of these (mostly ubiquitous) guarantees, which enable us to claim our refund if we aren’t satisfied. If it weren’t for Clickbank’s terms, these would llikely not exist for the majority of products we come across - vendors are all too aware that calls on any guarantee are minimal. And besides, how many buyers want to admit to themselves that their decision to buy was misplaced? After all, these guys - ‘gurus’ - know what they’re doing, right?
The average Joe is left with an ever increasing credit-card debt, wondering why this ‘proven technique’ hasn’t worked for them. Partly it’s a result of inaction on behalf of the buyer, but it’s also a function of the way the industry operates.
The thing is, when you’re coming from a point of ignorance about a product, you need to know something about its subject to make any kind of informed decision about what to do, what to buy, what to avoid, etc. Sadly, buyers place too much reliance on the information provided by vendors, in the mistaken belief that all vendors are acting in their best interests. I mean, you wouldn’t make a life-changing decision without taking some form of external advice would you?
Buyers need to start asking serious questions about the efficacy of the products they are being peddled. You can start by reviewing the products listed on this site and rating and commenting on those you have experience of, so the rest of us can get a better idea of exactly where to spend our cash.
