Internet Marketing buzzwords

I absolutely laugh when I hear the words "mindset" and "leverage".

They're such over used buzzwords. What other ones do you cringe at? Do we really need to make this game so sleazy and be like used car salesmen? I prefer to take a casual approach to things. I don't care about gurus or mentors. However what I do realize is that "In every man is my superior in that I may learn from him"

Which means that everybody knows a little something about something that you may not know and you will learn from him/her. So don't think you know it all, even the smallest man has knowledge about something.

So anyway if you've been so caught up in the buzzwords and all the hype. Come down from the clouds....and I'll be right here on the ground. Anyone else feel the same?

    • My feet are firmly on the ground but I still love both those words.

      To me they make sense in the context I personally use them and I can relate when others use them (regardless of their guru/or non guru standing) and it isn't so much about someone having their head in the clouds it's just the words that make someone click/tick. Those two words do for me.

      If they don't for you that's cool. But I do agree 'everyone' knows something. I most definitely don't claim to know everything just because I use those words.

    I like mindset and leverage. Intelligent words.

    The words that I find overused are words like
    Cash Sucking
    Secret(s) Revealed
    Dominate (your keyword here)
    Not $597, not $497, not even $397 ... today only, just $7
    (keyword) Exposed!

    You get the idea. But I see nothing wrong with following in the path of successful people. Rather do that than follow in the path of unsuccessful people. I've learned a lot from successful people on this forum and I do things my own way, but using information that I have learned.

    • There is nothing wrong with following successful people but why put them on a pedestal like the word "guru" conveys. I'm sure I could learn some tricks from everyone. Not just so-called gurus.

    • Haha I loved this and actually the 'secret revealed' on my sig is a little mock at the people who use that term - in my own humorous way though. I'm so glad you put that in there.
  • "Hands Free"

    I always thought that was a term used to describe devices one used to avoid talking on a cell phone whilst driving, not making money online
  • Yea, I hate the word "leverage" too. Also I dislike sales pages with the money money money easy money theme (but it works...I know, I know!) and I especially hate those videos that load automatically, long videos that I can't tell the length of when I'm on the page.

    It's just so arrogant to hog the viewers time.

    Another phrase "I'm not telling you this to impress you, but to impress upon you....."
    Grrr. Maybe I'm just getting old and crotchety
