DECEPTIVE MARKETING
When you walk into a Department Store, do you have to pay to get in? With some exceptions, the answer is no.
Places like Costco charge a fee, yet it is well known and no attempt is made to hide it. I, like many of you, get e-mails daily. "Click here for this amazing free (I'm sorry...fr'ee) download that could change your life!" So,
you click the link and download what is nothing more than a "teaser", leading directly to the ubiquitous "sales page".
At the bottom of this incredibly long and boring sales page, after you've learned of all the
fantastic bonuses (I'm sorry...PLR garbage) that you will receive, you discover that the "free" information
will actually cost an "incredible $7.00". But hurry, supplies are limited!
So you plunk out the credit card and pay the $7.00, all the while feeling like the idiot that, at that moment, you probably are! Now, the REAL fun starts! Now you have entered the land of ridiculous upsells and b.s. "one-time-offers". Of course, unlike Costco, you weren't told ahead of time that you would have to pay upfront, just for the priviledge of spending a LOT more money.
I write this little rant mostly for you newer folks. Do yourself a huge favor and don't even respond to that malarkey!
I have made a decision. I have just spent four hours of my valuable time "unsubscribing" from all of these MMO wannabes and fakirs! I have established a new e-mail that will be known only to those few folks I know and trust.
Wealthy Affiliates, SiteBuildIt, PPG, Travis Sago, Phyllis Jordan, et al. I'm done with it. FOCUS IS KING!
Oh ya! Any of my WA Buds are welcome to my e-mail, if you want it.
cheers!
