Lets get this out of the way first: I know this post is a rant and very critical, but I think its accurate. The whole internet marketing industry seems very shady. Most products are either outright scams or products that don't live up the their hype or the the "promises" made in the sales copy. Nearly every internet marketing product is sold like some magic bullet product, "Make a six figure income on auto pilot! No work required!" type stuff. It also seems that a lot of the people making money online are doing it primarily by selling products about making money online (hmm.....).
The Internet Marketing Industry is Mostly a Scam!

Lets get this out of the way first: I know this post is a rant and very critical, but I think its accurate.
The whole internet marketing industry seems very shady. Most products are either outright scams or products that don't live up the their hype or the the "promises" made in the sales copy. Nearly every internet marketing product is sold like some magic bullet product, "Make a six figure income on auto pilot! No work required!" type stuff. It also seems that a lot of the people making money online are doing it primarily by selling products about making money online (hmm.....).
Take a look at most products sold by people on this forum. Most of them are sold like the "Lose weight and gain muscle without diet or exercise" ads on TV. I feel like most products here are offering no real quality to customers.
What do you think?
Clarifications: I am not saying every internet marketing type thing is garbage or a scam, but that a large proportion of them are. I'm mainly referring to products offering to help people make money online and products that offer some kind of success without any hard work or intelligent thinking. Also, I think that the garbage products that make unreasonable promises are much much more common than ought right scams.
Sorry this thread is poorly named. I should have said "full of mostly low quality products" not "mostly a scam".
