Here are just a few things that bug me about working as an Internet Marketer.
1. The crooks, scams, cheats and rats that all gravitate to the Internet. As great as the Internet is for starting a business, it’s also a great place for the crooks and cheats too.
BEWARE each and every time your online, buying online, posting online anything online.
To really protect myself, I use Microsoft’s protection software for my computer and never ever use my real name, address etc…. online. I think a big percentage of the protection software are nothing but scams anyway, that’s why I use Microsoft.
You can have what ever opinion you want about Bill Gates and Microsoft, I don’t think they’re cheats.
Come up with different names so no one can track your activities.
2. I hate the people ( and hate is an understatement) who write the instructions for technical type stuff. Probably 89% of the time, while following step by step instructions, what ever your trying to do DOESN’T work.
There is always something left out or something changed or something something and the end result is someone like me spending hour after hour trying to get something to work that should take 2 minutes.
Whether it’s done on purpose or it’s just mistakes, those people must understand the absolute grief involved when a non-tech person is trying to do tech stuff with incorrect instructions. And waiting for support prolongs the agony.
3. The speed of the internet. I spend hundreds per month for dsl, cable, wireless and they all suck one way or another through out the day.
Can’t the providers get it so it’s fast ALL the time? Sometimes it’s awesome, like a race track, but most of the time I’m sitting here banging on the desk screaming, can’t you get it right, I’m on the tee in 20 minutes and I want to hit balls first.
If the people covered in #1, 2 or 3 worked for me, I would fire them in a New York second. The Internet is the only place where a company or anyone can get away with being terrible or worse.
If brick and mortar business operated in this manner, they would be out of business fast.
4. Affiliate links in a forum member’s post really annoy me. Newbies, how can you possibly believe anything you read or the help you get from people with affiliate links in their signature.
Affiliate links are for making money. Anything anyone recommends is under suspect as far as I’m concerned. I’m on everyone’s list and continue to be amazed at the literally junk recommended as something worth while by self proclaimed gurus of Internet Marketing.
And that’s why anyone new who continually buys the next latest greatest Internet Marketing program should quit now, you’re never going to make it because you’re looking for the easy. The experienced Guru will provide the program for you knowing it won’t work because you still have to do some work that you won’t do because you’re lazy.
New people, wake up. There are no shortcuts to IM. I can give you every WP blog you want but you won’t make a dime on it. I can give you the blog, tell you what to do to make money and you won’t make a dime if you’re not willing to work.
