Is it greed that's causing your failure?

Here's something that I think anyone out there should know about buying products.

I want you to think hard about what I say because it's eactly this that is holding you back from getting farther than you could possibly imagine.

Here goes..

It was a year ago I bought my first make money online product, 7 months later I bought another, and back at the start of the year I bought another 2.

They weren't all similar each different in their teachings, but what I wish I had of carried out background research on what I'm learning before I decided to beleive it, in fact overlaoding my brain by just trying my best to follow something which might not actually be true.

So recently there are a few products I have been eyeing up, I won't metnion them but I decided this time I would do the background research and see the difference in what it says on the salespage and in the product and what is really going on behind the scenes.

Is should warn you my findings were not good...

I've found that I was only a victim of someones terrible idea of a way to make money, to rehash materials and call it a method.

Even from some highly respected people this has been.. and I just hope the people out there know that eventually you will ruin it for everyone, it doesn't go on forever, when you fail to teach the real way rather than a rehashed method, just because you've got status, copywriting skills, cool graphics and more money than the people who buy from you... doesn't mean you should be taking advantage of them.

    An unfortunate but too often true scenario.

    Creating the dream that making money is possible is often the sole purpose of far too many marketing campaigns, rather that creating methods that actually work, or creating feedback loops that lead to improvement of the program over time.

    It is unfortunate, but a fact of marketing life, and you really have to study and learn to really "get it".

      It's awful, they should be ashamed of themselves, gaining status over other people by lying to them..

      Why not be like Mike Filsaime and offer value..

    While I agree that there are lots of knock-offs and rehashed products being sold on the Internet, your experience isn't that unusual for most first-time buyers and those new to online marketing. Some of the "blame" belongs to the buyer, and has to do with her perspective and expectations.

    The persuasive and emotionally charged promotional sales pages are aimed at the dreams and aspirations of the reader. The copywriting is good. It makes it seem that the only thing standing between the reader and achieving her goals is this product. Get it today and you'll be on your way to riches, or whatever ambition you want to fulfill.

    It only takes a few disappointments for the dreamer to "wake up" and realize that not every thing that glitters is gold.

    Perhaps it's good that it happens that way for most of us. It helps us to become objective very quickly. We learn to approach the process more deliberately and with a sober mind. We put in our due diligence, do our research and become informed consumers. Hopefully we'll make wiser purchases in future.

    And if we still get ripped off, at least we went into it with our eyes wide open.
