			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>How many fingers are pointing back at YOU?</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Don&rsquo;t be shark bait anymore. Discover &#8230;</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Why is failure so important</li>
<li>Why money should never be your main reason for becoming an entrepreneur</li>
<li>The smoke and mirrors proof cult leaders use</li>
<li>Why you should take everything any guru says with a grain of salt</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.successchef.com/amember/go.php?r=545&amp;i=l5">Internet Marketing Sins</a> currently consists of a Preview, Part 1 and Part 2. You can download all 3 for <strong><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">FREE</span></strong>.</p>
<h3>Destructive Personality Traits To Stay Away From</h3>
<p>Part 2 of <a href="http://www.successchef.com/amember/go.php?r=545&amp;i=l5">Internet Marketing Sins</a> zeros in on personality traits that you want to avoid in developing your internet business.</p>
<blockquote>
<h4>Me Too Marketer</h4>
<p>&quot;Me Too&quot; is a copycat. He won&rsquo;t be able to help you because he hasn&rsquo;t got a clue what he&rsquo;s doing.&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Piggy Back Marketers</h4>
<p>Their whole focus is on attacking the marketer on a personal level.</p>
<h4>Lazy Ass Marketers</h4>
<p>They don&#8217;t take the time and put in the effort to market a quality product.&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Cult Leaders</h4>
<p>Of all the internet marketing sins, it is the most important subject because &nbsp;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.</p>
<h4><strong>Guru Bashers</strong></h4>
<p>&nbsp;Guru Bashers are people who are often struggling to be successful, and blame the gurus when they are unable to achieve success.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>PS If you have gotten the impression that Sylvie Fortin knows what she is talking about, I recommend that you <a href="http://www.successchef.com/amember/go.php?r=545&amp;i=l1">watch this one-hour video tutorial from Success Chef</a>. If you are a beginner, I would say that this is a <u><strong>must-see</strong></u> for you. You will get a load of invaluable knowledge in the first 45 minutes of this video.&nbsp; If you don&#8217;t want a membership in Success Chef (discounted beta pre-launch life-time membership price of $2,497), skip the rest of the video.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Had enough marketing BS yet?</span></h3>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Are you pissed off by the unethical and even illegal marketing tactics that assault you every day? </span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Do you get the urge to do bodily harm to internet marketers using these tactics on you? </span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Don&#8217;t even know what these tactics are and how to recognize them?</span></span></li>
</ul>
<h3><strong><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Internet Marketing Sins</span></span></strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> shines the light</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Sylvie Fortin calls these tactics &quot;sins&quot; and she explains them in clear understandable, but strong, language. You won&#8217;t have a problem recognizing yourself, how badly you&#8217;ve been treated (and perhaps how you have treated others?).</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-family: Verdana;">This is a <span style="background-color: Yellow;">MUST READ</span> for Newbies</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I think it is especially important for newbie beginners in internet marketing to learn to recognize and avoid these tactics, and that is why I seriously urge you to read this revealing report.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">You probably already realize that you&#8217;ve been scammed by one or more of these tactics, but Internet Marketing Sins lays it all out systematically and comprehensively. I feel so strongly about this that I&#8217;ve added Internet Marketing Sins to the Recommended page.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Hammerhead Marketing</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I think most of you will have an emotional and personal reaction to Sylvie&#8217;s description of getting hammered. I clearly recognized myself as the dreamer in the description of the hammerhead marketing tactic. Maybe you will too.</span></p>

<p>Have you seen this ad lounging around the internet? It comes and goes. Now it&#8217;s baaack &#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://emarketworks.com/wp-emw/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/lcm.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>If you are thinking of buying in, you might want to consider these points.</p>
<p><strong>Is It a Scam?</strong></p>
<p>It all depends on your point of view I guess. Actually I think it all depends on whether or not you make more money than it costs you.</p>
<p><object width="512" height="323"><param name="movie" value="http://d.yimg.com/static.video.yahoo.com/yep/YV_YEP.swf?ver=2.2.7" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><param name="flashVars" value="id=5421275&amp;vid=1606539&amp;lang=en-us&amp;intl=us&amp;thumbUrl=http%3A//us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/i/bcst/videosearch/697/51945942.jpeg&amp;embed=1" /><embed width="512" height="323" src="http://d.yimg.com/static.video.yahoo.com/yep/YV_YEP.swf?ver=2.2.7" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" bgcolor="#000000" flashvars="id=5421275&amp;vid=1606539&amp;lang=en-us&amp;intl=us&amp;thumbUrl=http%3A//us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/i/bcst/videosearch/697/51945942.jpeg&amp;embed=1"></embed></object></p>
<p><strong><span id="more-64"></span>MLM</strong></p>
<p>MLM is multi-level marketing, which is short for &quot;you are probably not going to be a millionaire any time soon so make sure you get a comfortable lawn chair.&quot; You make money by recruiting new members to your &quot;downline&quot;. You won&#8217;t know the details of the commission plan until you pay the joining fees.</p>
<p><strong>What Are the PRODUCTS?</strong></p>
<p>Did you notice that the ad doesn&#8217;t describe any actual product and just implies that you will make money with little or no effort?</p>
<p>I submitted a support question to find out what the products are and was told that they are ebooks. You have to pay the fees to join before you will find out what the products are so LCM will make at least $49.99 before you find out what the products are because the setup fee is not refundable. Clever huh?</p>
<p><strong>You Pay</strong></p>
<p>You pay a subscription/membership price of $29.99/month. The setup fee of $49.99 is non-refundable. You have to buy an ATM card to get paid. etc.</p>
<p><strong>How Do You Make Money</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Hope somebody finds your website and buys something.</li>
<li>Sell (i.e., Market) the products yourself</li>
<li>Recruit new members</li>
</ol>
<p>It&#8217;s your responsibility to recruit new members and to provide support to them if they ask for it. In other words, you become their sponsor.</p>
<p><strong>Refund Policy</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://emarketworks.com/wp-emw/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/lcmrefund.jpg" /></p>
<p><strong>Cancellation Policy</strong></p>
<p>If you cancel your membership, you&#8217;re website is still live, you just won&#8217;t get any benefit from it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://emarketworks.com/wp-emw/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/lcmcancel.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>ProMessenger</strong></p>
<p>You will also have the opportunity to subscribe to ProMessenger for 14.95/month, which is presumably some kind of autoresponder/emailing program. LCM says you really need this if you are going to make the big bucks.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Is This Opportunity for YOU?</strong></p>
<p>If you enjoy MLM, this might be the opportunity you are looking for. Your membership fee will be at least $45/month including the ProMessenger.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">Good Luck!</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size: larger;">Ed</span></span></p>

<p>Grain of Salt: I am not fond of MLM programs and I am not a member of Lawn Chair Millionaire. If you have experience with the Lawn Chair Millionaire program, please submit your comments.</p>
