Why Do People Keep Falling For The "Make $5,395.93 Per Day" Line?

NetWorth · 10-20-2010, 02:58 PM

I have been working at internet marketing on and off for 2 years now. I make a buck here and there and I've taken my lumps with PPC and Mini-Sites thanks to Googles Algo change earlier this year. At this point I have settled into the build good quality long term sites for the long run mentality that I believe most successful marketers reach at some point the their career. However, I don't understand why every time someone want to sell another $59.00, $49.00, $39.00, or $29.00 program that will have you making "$5,395.93 Per Day in 2 weeks" people start flocking to it like rats to cheese?

Don't we all know better. Or maybe I'm wrong... I've never bought a program however I am a member of WA and I sit in on the free portions of webinars and read plenty of WF post and some SEO Guru's blogs to get ideas.

Has anyone ever bought one on of these get rich quick programs and had it work? (If so please share! Which one?

)

If not. Why do people keep flocking to them? Even people that know better?

Finally what do you think the expected pace/earns should be for someone starting from scratch with no internet marketing experience at all? First month? 6 months? Year? 2 years?

If you work a full time job and can only market night and weekends.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Because people WANT to believe...

They want to believe that the author does that volume and they hope they can achieve even 1% of his success, so that they can achieve their own goals...

They buy in, because someone is willing to tell them what THEY WANT TO HEAR...

I hear what you're saying about the 'numbers'.

But, some of there 'numbers' you see, are in fact real, and attainable goals.

I can't vouch for the legitimacy of products posted here or elsewhere, but with some cold hard, steady hardcore implementation some serious money can be made with some techniques you can learn.

I know of quite a few, single methods of marketing that can produce some serious results.

Media buying, offline lead generation, outsourcing, offline/online hybrid cpa marketing, are just a few of the many, and very real, skills that many marketers do in fact teach in the form of "make xx,xxx per month" products.

Yea big money claims are typical, but don't overlook many of the real, great systems many successful marketers are willing to sell for a price.

For example, Maria Guidelis (sorry if I mis-spelled.) uses income figures quite often. But the systems she teaches (many for the more advanced marketing group) can in fact produce those kinds of results.

I'm aware that she is very successful with offline marketing, and client generation. There's no question that some businesses are willing to fork over EXTREMELY high amounts of money to market their businesses.

And checks written by those businesses, can in fact be X,XXX, and written out in a matter of hours after meeting with them. Seriously.

My advice would be to stick with what you know best, and if you think you're interested in 'buying' some form of product, buy something that is directly related to what you do now, to improve your existing skills.

Also don't underestimate the power of Google

Some people do generate that amount, easily. So they do that - that does not guarantee anything for thep erson who buys. I agree some of them are craps but some of them are definitely not craps too. And some of them are outdated - things that had generated money once upon a time but no more. So it is a mix of everything - not one unique homogeneous thing all over the place.

It can be difficult to judge.

Usually out of desperation, laziness or greed...the mind is an easy sell at that point.

I bought all sorts of WSO's here. I learned some stuff but nothing made me rich overnight.

I am impressed with Mark & Court's Keyword Academy though - my website income is up 41% this month so clearly they have a winning strategy which when combined with massive action can make you a lot of money.
