Pay Attention Newbies!

I started in internet marketing in 2003.
I have been semi-retired for about 2 years now and my wife and I are preparing for full retirement in Florida.

So, as you can see, I have been successful in my online endeavors.

Just for S.A.G, my wife just opened an email from a well known IM "guru".

(Pardon me while I take a minute to puke!)

He's bragging about how he took a 4 day old, keyword-named domain and is now ranking 4th against 163,000 competing sites!

Here's the rub: According Google Adwords keyword tool, the key phrase he is using doesn't get enough traffic to register!

Now, PAY ATTENTION!

And, to add insult to injury, he's preaching the same BS I was watching in 2003.
The 'key' is "you do nothing". his software will write all the content for you!
He is giving you a $35,000 (his words), product for..... (Wait For It....),

$1.00

LISTEN!
There is no such thing as software that will write QUALITY content for you.
Software spits out garbage!
Software only spits out what you put in.
It's called G.I.G.O.
GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT.
If you put in nothing but a few keywords you're going to get an article with a few keywords surrounded by meaningless garble.

If it sounds too good to be true, well you know the rest.

In order to succeed on the internet you need a quality product and either a lot money to pay people to do the work for you or, be prepared to spend 12 - 16 hours a day doing the work yourself.

    Ah, good to see the same ol' BS is still doing the rounds. It makes it so much easier for proper, ethical marketers like us to make money by providing genuine value to people!

    Yeah. I hadn't watched a marketing video for about 2 years and, like I said, my wife just opened this for sh*ts and giggles and I was truly amazed to see the same old, tired BS still being spread.
    The sad part is, they still spread because it still works.

    I guess I should have added to the post that the right way to do it is to learn the old fashioned way.
    Search, and research until you find a reputable course on legitimate IM and study it.
    Learn what you're doing, how to market the right way.
    There are no 'do it for you', get rich quick systems that work.

      I like your attitude Icombs,
      It would do IM a lot of long-term good if more people like you shared posts like this.

      I get real angry to see & here all the negative IM out there. You know, those that pitch all that is wrong in IM to promote themselves. These scammers you describe are basically killing IM because of the crazy numbers of people who get suckered & end up so cynical about IM that their message goes out chronic viral.

      Anyway if those suckers want to build their business by fairy tales of quick rich schemes or money lusting, well, they owe it to themselves to fail miserably.

    People come online looking for a magic button to push and for cash to pop out of their computers. Then they are surprised when this doesn't happen. There are many advantages to working online, but it's still work and many people don't figure that out for a long time. It's sad that they turn to rehashing and selling junk to other newbies just to make a buck.

    There is nothing such as a push button software. If you are going to try out any of such products/WSOs that promise you to make a million overnight, you probably should be prepared to lose whatever money you would spent on that.
