A while back I asked an extremely simple question.

Who’s making money online?

The response was incredible. Through that one little question - I’ve met some incredible individuals. Some are making money online, and others are simply going round in circles, completely confused.

And again I’ll say it… “Making money online is a heck of a lot easier than people would like you to think… Sure, it really does help to have a great guide, whatever market you’re going into, but how do you think them guys worked out the tactics themselves? They learned through trial and error. Like me, they probably wasted hundreds and hundreds of dollars in the process.” How does this involve you? With tonnes of product out there, promising to teach you how to make yourself rich in ‘4 easy steps’ (which usually contain rubish such as ’sell your blood plasma for cash becoz omg i made like 5 dollars in one hour!’), it really is hard to know what products are the ‘real deal’, and which ones are complete garbage.

I’m not trying to pitch you any products here, so don’t get yourself in a tizz. I’m simply pointing out that a small portion of products are brilliant - others are not so great. My advice? Ask around. Don’t go and blow $100 on a product which turns out to be complete garbage. Ask people on forums such as The Warrior Forum, what these products are actually like. Just because a product has 101 testimonials, don’t presume they’re all entirely true. My general rule, is that unless a testimonial has a full name and own-domain website associated with it, I’ll take it with a pinch of salt or disregard it all together. Why? Complete and utter scams like Get Google Ads Free (which for the record IS a complete waste of cash) can’t get any real people to actually go out their way and make a real testimonial. Why? By making a testimonial - you put your reputation on the line, and in the Internet Marketing business, reputation is everything.

Notice how all the ‘Get Google Ads Free’ testimonials have no websites associated with them - just a name. Use your common sense, people. If something looks dodgy, smells like a rat and makes outrageous claims, chances are something’s fishy - which is EXACTLY why you need to ask people for their opinions. It really is just a case of using your head. Don’t be evil.
