I am sure that each and every one of you have gotten some kind of email or went to a website where you were promised instant riches if you purchased their product. I am a born sucker, I am not a skeptic. Whenever I read a good sales page, I get really excited at how rich I could become.
I don't ask 'What's the catch?' I instead ask 'Where do I sign?'
This lack of skepticism has lost me a lot of money, yet at the same time it has made me some money and also produced some great ideas. There are a lot of get rich quick scams on the Internet, but there are also alot of great products out there as well.
How can I can I tell the difference between a great Online marketing product and a poor one?
Well, in truth, you can't unless you buy it and try it. Your own personal opinion is what determines if the product is useful or not.
You can try doing a Google search on the product you are interested in followed by the word scam or review, to see others opinions of the product. This will give you a basic idea of other people opinions.
The review search you will show you biased people giving favourable reviews in order to sell the product through their affiliate link.
The scam search you will bring you to people who more than likely did not understand the product to begin with.
This is why you need to use your instinct. If you feel something may be a scam, then don't buy it. The only times I would suggest going against this rule is when a money back guarantee is offered and is backed by a trusted source, such as ClickBank. I would suggest sending an email to the company you are interested in purchasing from and ask them to explain their return policy. If they respond that same day or the next day chances are you are dealing with a reputable company (that's just my opinion though).
I will try anything once with Internet marketing, that is why I have not problem buying into questionable products as long as they have a good return policy and respond to emails quickly. i have found that sometimes i learn more from scam products than I do from legitimate products. How is that possible? I like to take these questionable products and use them as template for any products I am creating. I take the good points and integrate them into my products and then look at the poor points and us them as tool to benchmark what I should not do.
If you are going to be successful at making money online you have to take down your skeptical shield and learn to try everything once in order to learn something
