As a result email opens have dropped and people are using trickery and BS claims to get people to open their emails.

The other thing that gets me are the amount of sub standard Clickbank products with sales pages that tell you everything you want to hear but doesn’t tell you how or what the product does- then turns out to be something thats a fusion of 2 products already on the market.

I could go on ranting but I won’t

You are quite welcome.

Simple recipe for you:

Pick a way to make money on line (for example, affiliate marketing). Find someone you trust that is actually making money on line that way and teaching what they do. Do what they do and ignore everyone else.

Thanks Jeremy.

LOL — well, sometimes stuff that used to work doesn’t work anymore because it was crap in the first place….

No doubt about that.

It’s is really important to know what you are trying to accomplish, and then ask if the new shiny thing will get you closer or further away from your goals.

I need to spend some time checking out Tiffany Dow — I keep hearing that name…

Thanks David. I really appreciate the feedback. Whenever I do a post like this, I often get some unsubscribes from people complaining about how they are not getting value from my posts. Very interesting, this blogging thing….LOL

So, your comments are very much appreciated.

The list of ethical marketers you mentioned are the cream of the crop IMHO. I consider it a humble honor that you continue to produce regular content that shows a genuine concern to make the online marketing space a better place.

Thanks for all you do.

Jeremy

And I have a background of science education and I was and still am totally baffled by the sleeze factor.

BTW some extra names for the ethical list – Tiffany Dow, Terry Dean, Shane Melaugh. Tons of others…

Ah — I see what you were getting at. Sorry.

Scumbag: Someone who intentionally delivers a product or service that is worth far less than the price charged. Usually involves deceptive marketing that preys on peoples fears and dreams.

How is that?

Oh! Yea…that didn’t come out well. Sorry. I didn’t want you to name any one. I meant just in general. I sort of ‘backed’ into some internet marketing with out really intending too and then only later stumbled onto the term ‘internet marketing’ and have been struggling with some of the ‘scuminess’ that I see too.

Thanks, TC. They are all great folks.

Glad you liked the post.

Naming names is not really my style (unless I need to do it to help someone). I’m more of a private email guy when it comes to dealing with that sort of thing.

“TrafficColeman “Signing Off”

This was a good one and struck a little chord with me. Who do you think are the scumbags? Internet Marketers that are using skills to sell products or is this more about internet marketers that are using skills to sell internet marketing courses/products that dont deliver?

Thanks again for all your post. They are a great help.
