Stop feeding the sharks! Internet Marketing Sins Part 2

Friday, September 5th, 2008

How many fingers are pointing back at YOU?

Sylvie Fortin continues her no-holds-barred expose of internet marketing sins. BUT she also points a finger at you (and me) too for generously forking over our limited cash resources to the sharks greedily gobbling up our money in return for not much of anything except empty promises.

Don’t be shark bait anymore. Discover …

  • Why is failure so important
  • Why money should never be your main reason for becoming an entrepreneur
  • The smoke and mirrors proof cult leaders use
  • Why you should take everything any guru says with a grain of salt

Internet Marketing Sins currently consists of a Preview, Part 1 and Part 2. You can download all 3 for FREE.

Destructive Personality Traits To Stay Away From

Part 2 of Internet Marketing Sins zeros in on personality traits that you want to avoid in developing your internet business.

Me Too Marketer

"Me Too" is a copycat. He won’t be able to help you because he hasn’t got a clue what he’s doing. 

Piggy Back Marketers

Their whole focus is on attacking the marketer on a personal level.

Lazy Ass Marketers

They don’t take the time and put in the effort to market a quality product. 

Cult Leaders

Of all the internet marketing sins, it is the most important subject because  It applies to every single one of us. Cult leaders do not care if the free information they give away is actually useful to your business. They often deliberately hold back one critical step that keeps the majority of their followers dependent on them forever.

Guru Bashers

 Guru Bashers are people who are often struggling to be successful, and blame the gurus when they are unable to achieve success.

PS If you have gotten the impression that Sylvie Fortin knows what she is talking about, I recommend that you watch this one-hour video tutorial from Success Chef.

You will get a load of invaluable knowledge in the first 45 minutes of this video.  If you don’t want a membership in Success Chef (discounted beta pre-launch life-time membership price of $2,497), skip the rest of the video.

 

Article Generator Mayhem

200 Unique Articles in 14 Seconds ???

Do you really think that you can generate 200 unique articles in 14 seconds from one single article? Well, you can’t. What you can do is futz around with synonyms and phrase inversions using a dictionary and a thesaurus to make it seem that each article is somehow distinctly different from all the rest. But all the articles are essentially the same, meaning that the actual cognitive content is identical.

 

Who Is the Author?

It isn’t you! I think it is unethical to let a computer program generate article content for you and then claim that you wrote the article with the implication that you are some sort of expert on the topic of the article. I know some internet marketers are not troubled by that, but I feel that it is dishonest. Especially if they are selling you the content and you think they wrote it. They probably didn’t write the original article either. Even if they are giving it away and your only connection with it is reading it, you still got scammed because you were misled about authorship (unless, of course, they tell you that the article was manipulated by a computer program).

 

WARNING !

I strongly recommend against using any word replacement software based on dictionary and thesaurus substitutions for generate faux uniqueness. Google has this tactic figured out already, and it isn’t worth your reputation to be caught in this particular trap.

Jim Edwards Explains How to Cash in with Mini-sites

Cashing In Fast With "Mini" Sites

I’ve gotten a plenty of questions lately about why I think "mini" sites, simple 1-2 page websites, are better than "traditional" websites you might learn to build in school or from a website design course.

In fact, I believe "traditional" websites represent a complete waste of time and end up making small and home- based business owners give up on the Internet before they even have a chance to get started.

If you want to cash in fast on the web, stop thinking about making "web" sites and start thinking about "mini" sites.

Basically, traditional sites try to be all things to all people.

If you go to somebody’s website and you see:

"Sign up for my newsletter";
"Buy my product";
"Check out these links";
"Check out our article archive";
"Click Here for the article of the day";
"Subscribe to this RSS feed";
"Visit our blog!"

…. it just creates confusion.

In other words, visitors arrive at the site and either go nuts figuring out what to do next or, more likely, they simply click their back button - never to return. (more…)
