A tale of two Internet Marketers: Michael and Neil on a nice little earner
Since my review of AdSense Videos, I’ve been getting the usual autoresponder followup messages written by Michael.
In them, he pushes other products, many of which are by Neil Shearing, another “successful Internet marketer”.
You wanna know why these two people are such great online marketers?
It’s because they cross-promote and sell each other’s stuff – constantly.
This is why I hate all these courses – they’re just over-priced excuses to sell more crap that doesn’t help the average person.
Wanna know why there’s always an affiliate program selling the course you’ve just bought? Because it’s the only way you might be able to make any money from the program that, otherwise, will make you very little.
Often, more emphasis is placed upon selling the course to others, than on making the actual course work for you.
Smells fishy? Darn right it does.
It’s verging on the pyramid scheme.
That’s my take on it, and I am not buying any more crap from any of these incestuous marketers.
I suggest you invest time researching, finding people who’ll give useful information away for free, building relationships with genuine people who aren’t merely out to take your money, and spending your time actually creating content and traffic rather than wasting money and time on courses that promise much and deliver little.
