Is Internet Marketing the Biggest Dreams Selling Industry in the World?

Forget about Hollywood, because the movie industry has reserved a crazy dream come true category for actors and fictional characters. If you want to believe all that you see in a movie that's your personal problem. The most important thing you're buying a dream for the price of a movie ticket. I called that a fair deal.

On the other side, when I see those flashing banners trying to convince me that I can make six figures in six weeks or six minutes, I'm not feeling well. There are so many self-proclaimed Internet marketing "gurus" that it's a shame they don't have some kind of a union. I believe that they would need a football stadium for a regular annual conference. Yet, no one seems to be bother with this fact. The gurus keep popping up like mushrooms after rain.

I'm not smart enough to find the right Internet marketing guru, who would enlighten and take me to a six-figure road of success. OK, I'm not offended and I can live with that. The trouble is that there's an entire army of people feeling exactly the same way I do right now.

The repackaging industry of epic proportions

I'm not a writer nor a copywriter. I would like to be called as such, but that's simply not true. I'm a rewriter. All that you can find, see, or read online is proudly presented by the rewriting industry. At least I'm honest about it. Yet, if you can invest just a little bit of your time, you could realize that my rewriting industry is a local boy's band compared to the very serious international machinery run by our friendly and thoughtful gurus.

Just have a look. I found a dozen copy/paste Internet marketing courses online. It's impossible to find the original or source course. I called this the repackaging industry. You buy, pay, attend, or whatever you do with the certain course. The next thing you know, you're selling the same thing under a different name and in a new package. So, we have an entire caste of professional marketers, who actually don't do a thing to make a living out of Internet marketing, but only sell "know-how" to desperate souls all over the world. There is no need to mention eBooks, audio or video materials. As long as you can pass Copyscape and Google plagiarism watch, you're good to go.

Online Fool's Gold

Unfortunately or luckily, I don't have enough money to conduct an experiment. Oh, I would like to spend some money to test some of the most shameless claims among the so-called Internet marketing gurus. I would like to hunt them down one by one and prove all wrong. Yet, what's the use if you don't have a place where to publish your findings? I read that a couple of British Telegraph journalists tried something similar. Do you know what happened? Well, they run out of money. They could try only a handful of courses and eBooks. Neither of them provided them with at least decent possibility to get some of the invested money back. Sadly, you can question the whole industry based on a handful of proven scammers.

The show must go on

Our desire to believe against and despite all warning signs is obviously a powerful force. I dare to say that all of these gurus are first and foremost the outstanding psychologists. They know how and where to push the right buttons, in order to get what they want.

I'm fully aware that this post won't change a thing. Yet, for what is worth, there's one fool less on their list. I believe that Good Karma principle rules the cyber Wild West of online marketing. Sooner or later we will all get what we want and search. This way or another.
Yet, I'm pretty much convinced that there would be some huge more or less pleasant surprises. Hope I will be still around to witness the fall of all Internet marketing predators.

Choose carefully, play smart and don't be greedy. That is supposed to keep you safe. At least for a while.
