PLIMUS stops Internet Marketing

Yeah , I am fed up of people who feed people with lies and constantly give false expectations . Those lying bast***ds !!! I am glad the fed and youtube and everybody else is coming down on them . They deceive people of their hard earned money and destroy lives . Thank God that somebody is standing up to them . It is about time !

The Feds aren't targeting honest, decent people earning a living. They're targeting fraud and deception and theft.

Suzzanne,
How many people are 'misled' by the thought that any plr (article, book, software, website..etc, is a 'set and forget' biz op (opportunity AND operation)? I can't comment on whether or not your copy 'implies' that or not as I've not seen it (but I mean to soon, as I DO buy a ton of PLR because I happen to know what to do with it, but ...)

Historically people have not started businesses, opening up stores and buying advertising, because the start up costs were prohibitive and they either didn't have the money or were afraid to risk it because they didn't know the first thing about running a business.

Historically, there have always been 'low cost of entry' models that appeal to those exact same people. But when the risk is $200, $100, or $10 as opposed to the $5,000, $10,000 $25,000 to set up offline, the risk 'perception' is lessened, and so this 'type' is more willing to explore it.

You may not envision your target market as a 'newbie', but they choose you simply through this process of reasoning and their own perception of risk mitigation.

The fact that they don't know the first thing about running a business doesn't change.

A PLR website is still a low cost of entry business model. If I had to 'guess' I would say the price is about 10% of what it would cost to have an entire 'custom site' built for me, with original content, design, and artwork.

That makes it even more attractive to... those same types of people.

So in effect, you do sell to these people. Even if you aren't seeking them out to sell directly to them, they are seeking you out and seeking to buy from you, because somewhere, somehow, they came by the notion that PLR sites are push button set and forget models and for around $50 for the site and the domain, if they don't make any money, (because remember, they don't know the first thing about running a business) well... they can always just complain and call PLR a scam...

And anyone who hears their cries makes a decision to either think the person is an idiot who didn't know what they were doing, or to rally behind a mission to 'STOP THE SCAMS.'

Any low cost of entry model is going to attract those without the education to know even as much as the difference between a business opportunity 'information' product, a business opportunity, and a business operation.

But the fact is, the low cost of entry models, DO exist, and they aren't 'scams.' The fact is, that if a person is willing to educate themselves about how to actually turn information about a business opportunity, into a business model, and create an operation out of it, they will succeed.

Most people don't want to 'build the model' so they keep looking for opportunities that don't require the building of a model or the creation of an operation.

Two more things... I know you said "The Fed isn't going after..." but I wasn't just referring to the FED... I'm referring to Clickbank, Plimus, Paypal, and anyone who has a problem with people selling other people INFORMATION on business opportunities, business opportunities themselves, or anything related to either, including operations.

I sell 'make money' products. I sell a book on how to make money writing for the web... it's a viable model, and people want the info... yet I fall into the 'trap'....

And... actually, regulatory agencies ALWAYS look for 'scapegoats.' Just like everyone else does.

Maybe so. It didn't for me. And when I was finished and wanted to test a couple of things in their "sandbox," I couldn't log into the sandbox because they have some weird security rule.

After trying for an hour I sent them an email and was told I'd have to open a different account and add the product again to use the sandbox. Screw them.

Well maybe this is a good opportunity for someone to come in and creat a site/program that actually takes us IM into consideration.

There is a lot of junk out there and I think people are getting tired of it. I know I am and I have all but stopped paying any attention to clickbank products etc.

I signed up with Plimus but on my first look through I didn't really see anything of interest so I didn't really get into promoting anything with them.

this is doubly interesting

I have just received spam from f orex cowboy outfit referring me to
plimus to get some ostensibly free stuff

hope they are next
