Internet Marketing - There are Bears The bears that
live and unfortunately thrive in the Internet jungle come in several varieties.
Out in the real world you only find a few kinds but on the Internet there are
many more. Being ambitious
is not a crime. It is an admirable quality and one that you should be proud of.
Wanting to do better is what has made this country great. It’s the corner stone
of every fortune that has ever been built. Wanting to
better yourself and being willing to roll up your sleeves and do the work
necessary to achieve a better life for yourself and your family is also the
cornerstone of success in the world of Internet business. Many people want
a job and there is nothing wrong with wanting a job but others want to be their
own boss. They want to be the one who gives orders and not the one who takes
orders. They want to make the decisions and not just carry out decisions that
have been made by others. They want to be captains of their own ships and
masters of their own destinies....there is nothing wrong with that either. It
is to be admired. Ambition is good
but it can also be dangerous. An eagerness to succeed can cause you to forget
that you are living in a jungle that is fraught with danger on every side. There are big
ugly bears out there just waiting for you to forget for one minute that they
are out to get you. They are waiting for you to get careless. They are waiting
for you to let ambition cloud your judgment. For every one
ambitious, hard-working, honest Internet entrepreneur out there, there are at
least a thousand under-handed, crooked
bears waiting to take advantage of them. Successful
internet businesses can be created. They HAVE been created. You can create one
yourself if you are willing to put in the time, effort, energy and, yes, money
that is required. A successful Internet business will not be created over night
and anybody who promises you that it is an easy and painless process is lying
to you. Don’t
underestimate the bears. They are very, very good at what they do. They have
fooled some of the best of them. MLM schemes: We have briefly discussed Multi-Level
Marketing schemes before but there is a lot more that you need to know so that
you won’t get suckered into one of these schemes and become a bear yourself. Many MLM schemes are
illegal and if even if you get suckered into becoming a part of one, you are
just as guilty as the person you involved you. Ignorance of the law is not an
acceptable excuse. These ‘plans’
for success on the Internet come packaged and presented in ways that make it
difficult to identify them as the 'Bad' MLM schemes. They do, however, all have some
things in common. The most obvious and the easiest to spot sign is that you are
offered a commission for sales of products or services that are made by
others....this is above and beyond any commission payments for sales that you
make yourself. That’s the thing that makes these plans MLM. You will be paying
part of your commission to the person who recruited you and you will be
receiving commission payments from people whom you recruit, as will, the person
who recruited you and the person who recruited them.
