Internet Marketing – Not All Natives
Are Friendly You are doing
great! You are getting close to being at the very heart of this Internet jungle
and you have survived lions, tigers, bears, oh my and sneaky snakes, cannibals
and poisonous plants to boot. You are learning to live and thrive in this
jungle. By this time you
have likely met some of the natives. Most of them are nice, polite, helpful
people. You have even come to be friends with some of them. You might even have
formed, in not friendships, at least relationships with some of your toughest
competitors. That isn’t the least bit uncommon out here in the Internet jungle.
It’s been said
that, ‘Politics makes strange bedfellows’, it could be said that the Internet
makes for even stranger bedfellows! You may have seen joint venture agreements
made between fierce competitors who sell the very same products to the very
same market. It happens. When the details of a joint venture agreement can be
worked out so that each partner can equally benefit from that agreement, joint
venture agreements between competitors are not all that uncommon. It is also true
that there really are gurus that live and work in the Internet jungle. These
living, breathing gurus are real experts in their internet marketing fields of
endeavor. There are
experts in article and ebook writing and marketing. There are experts in viral
marketing techniques. There are experts in the writing of effective sales
letters. There are many real experts or gurus that often offer courses,
seminars, teleseminars and webinars in order to teach those who can pay for the
information how to do certain things and do them very well in the Internet
marketing jungle. There are Fake Gurus However, just
because somebody claims to be a guru or an expert doesn’t make them a real guru
or expert. Sometimes that claim just makes them another one of the
not-so-friendly jungle natives. The think about
signing up for courses, seminars, teleseminars or webinars is that there is not
recourse to getting your money back if all you get is a bunch of stuff that
anybody would know who had been in the Internet marketing arena for more than
fifteen minutes. You can’t say,
‘They didn’t tell me anything I didn’t already know. I want my money back” and
expect to get your money back. That isn’t going to happen. The best thing
that you can do before you sign up for any instruction is to check out the
instructors or speakers who will be presenting information to you. Run a check
on them by plugging their names into the Google search box. This won’t tell you
everything you need to know, but it is a place to start. Ask other
marketers if they know who these so-called experts or gurus are and if they
have ever taken a course or attended a seminar, teleseminar or webinar where
these same gurus or experts were the instructors or speakers.
