Internet Marketing Is A Scam!

Seriously…? Why didn’t I get the memo? I will tell you why! Because I don’t subscribe to the theory of ‘Get Rich Quick’ Never have and never will.. So I am guessing a lot of you came to this post because you thought I was going to start bashing Internet Marketing, well sorry to disappoint, but I am not going to do that today. I might start in on MLM or Network Marketing though! lol Just kidding… I am not a hater so don’t start flaming. There are some great MLM and Network Marketing companies out there.

When I started writing this article I started thinking of one situation that came about just recently.  I received a phone call from a company that claimed they will have me making a substantial amount of money a month in less than a year.  Red flags started going up at this point.. They even used one of the guru’s names claiming they taught him the ropes and that is why he is who he is today… Wow, now I was really impressed… Thinking this may not be the internet marketing scam after all. So, I went ahead and did the pre-qual and then got to talk to “The Man”… He laid out what they will do for me, asked me a couple questions as to why I thought I was someone who they should train etc.  I listened to him for 50 min before he finally asked me for the sale.Well guess what my answer was?  It was no thank you I respectfully decline your gracious offer to take a one time lump sum payment out on my credit card in order to secure my apprentice position in the company. I can tell you why it was the best thing I have ever done. I proceeded to listen to me make the sale pitch again.. This guy was good, he asked me how I was going to do this if I didn’t have anyone to show me… where was I going to be in 6mo if I didn’t do this with him… blah blah blah

This is where it gets ugly… So I again tell him, no thank you… I can hear in his voice he is frustrated now! I stick to my guns now and he finally asks me… Clint, why didn’t you tell me a half hour ago you were not interested. I replyed… “Because I wanted to hear the whole deal from you before I made my decision”. Apparently, that was the wrong answer because he proceeded to start yelling at me over the phone. Telling me I am just going to be laying in bed a year from now with the covers pulled up over my head and crying because I am totally disappointed in my life because I didn’t take action today! With that credit card…

Before he wound up hanging up the phone with me, I asked him if this was the way he treats people who he is going to get paid to train, no reply… After he hung up, I asked myself at that point… “Is this really a company that I want to do business with?”  Of course the answer is Hell No!  So here is the moral of my story.. Always listen and think before you leap into something head first so you don’t get taken by the next Internet Marketing Scam…  Common sense approach to living is what I call it!  I am so glad I didn’t proceed down that road.  I would have been so disappointed.
