How's your email box?
Mine is overloaded with all these over hyped Clickbank offers. Geez, it's crazy. Not to mention most of the offers are promoting a bunch of rehashed garbage. Most don't even tell you what the offer is about. Only that 32 year old Harry Hype is making $127,237 a month from only four clicks because he figured out how to "trick" Google.
"Geez, I need to get that." Not!!
What I have found interesting is that some respected Internet marketers are promoting some of these offers as well. It makes me even wonder if they purchase the offers they're promoting. Or, do the programs even really work. It really starts to become a credibility issue.
Making money becomes almost too easy. The easy lure with Internet marketing comes when you have a huge email list of some 100,000 plus names and you're in an affiliate contest. Sometimes these guys get more caught up in winning the contest then they really are about helping their customers by promoting such a "weak or over hyped" product.
Plus, because it doesn't really cost them much of anything to send out those 100,000 emails, they really have nothing to lose. It's not like it's costing them postage. The lure of easy money is just too tempting -- and they do make huge money.
Ironically what they do lose is their credibility. You start to feel that perhaps they don't have their customers best interest.by selling out to greed. What you also don't know is that such offers do incur a lot of charge-backs, declines and refunds.
Personally to me it's not worth it in the long run. Everyone ultimately has to make their own decisions.
I suggest go more low key even if you are making a killing. Don't lose touch with your customers and what they're really going through. Make everything seem more approachable. More reachable.
I say all this to say to Internet Gurus . . . what about the customer. Who has their back?
Well, for one, I do.
I tend to respond to people that more homesy and folksy. People like Marlon Sanders, Willie Crawford or Jennifer the Potpiegirl. No matter how wealthy you get in this business, never lose touch of the heartbeat of your market. You will do better in the long run.
