How to Avoid Online Marketing Scams

online but that usually comes from people with no imagination, no zest for life, and no concept of getting off the couch and doing something new.

The best definition I have ever heard of the word "Insanity" is: Repeating The Same Process Day After Day Expecting A Different Result. Basically, if you never do anything different why are you expecting things to change?

Everybody is trying to sell you a get rich quick scheme online and 99% of them are scams. The ones which are legitimate usually only give you a small piece of the puzzle, just enough to get you in but not enough to really make any money.

There are a few people out there who really do want to help you make money online and they are smart enough to help you while helping themselves. A really smart marketer can put money in his pocket and yours at the same time, it is rare but they do exist.

Start up fees are not scams, who is going to amass a great deal of information and hand it over to the public for free? The trick is to make sure they offer a money back guarantee and read the fine print. Some offer money back but it is pro-rated based on the time you spend using their product or program. I have been burned by this once and only once :-) Make sure any program you are going to try offers a 100% money back guarantee so you don't stand to lose anything if it is not for you. If someone is offering a good program, they will be happy to offer a money back guarantee. Just make sure you keep up with the start up date because most programs renew automatically month to month.

Once you find a program or product you like, use it! I know that sounds simple but most people sign up for a program and if their bank account has not doubled in 24 hours they quit and blame the program. People put a lot of work into teaching you how to make money online when you sign up for their program and most people never use it. Remember, the maker of the program is probably going to make money off you making money so they want you to succeed. Use what they teach you and you will make money online.

Don't get distracted, get in a room by yourself, close the door and concentrate on what you have learned. If you focus, you will be successful, if you are lazy, you will fail. Simple as that.
