Yeah, Internet Marketing is For the Dogs!<\/h2>\n

\nFist off, I do want to say that I appreciate the ethical internet marketing<\/u> professionals and hope you continue posting original content and developing good channels of communication within your communities the way internet marketing platforms were intended. <\/p>\n

Before I go begin to get too far into my disappointment for internet marketing goofballs, I want to warn you not to read any further if you are not up for my departure from my normal writing style. I usually like to keep it educational and non-confrontational, but I had to write this. I am giving this posting an \u201cR\u201d rating do to the overtones associated with it\u2026so, you can\u2019t say I didn\u2019t warn you. If you are looking for an educational or uplifting post, feel free to read my article about Setting Goals For Your Home Business<\/a>. Otherwise, read on and let me know how you really feel. <\/p>\n

That being said, I absolutely don\u2019t apologize to anyone for any part of this rant with regard to the sheer lack of respect for the idiosyncratic displays of cheating and scamming the internet public. In case you didn\u2019t know, this hurts the internet marketing community because now so many potential prospects think every single thing being sold online is a scam. Thanks for nothing!!<\/p>\n

One of the worst things ever created was an opportunity to build an online business to work from home. Internet marketing itself is nothing but a bothersome conglomerate of emails bombarding every email from the moment an account is created.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know about you, but I hate getting messages from all these internet marketing<\/em>, often times self-proclaimed, \u201cguru\u2019s\u201d about how you simply can\u2019t move forward without this particular \u201cstep-by-step\u201d product and it\u2019s only available until this particular time or you will never see it again because they only have enough room for \u201cx\u201d amount of places\u2026then you click off the add and another window pops-up and says, \u201cwait\u2026don\u2019t leave, we\u2019ll give you this one time discount for signing up today, but you will never get this message again\u201d\u2026blah, blah, blah!!<\/p>\n

How many different internet marketing tactics are there anyway? Way too many for any of us to count because it\u2019s constantly changing. I could literally go on for days talking about all the SNEAKY ways these people try to get money out of us. I can\u2019t stand it. Here I am peddling a product from the Empower Network<\/a> that I think is really cool, but because of the inordinate amount of careless marketers online, both myself and my product are immediately hit with walls of brick and mortar by guilty association\u2026 these people don\u2019t even know me\u2026it\u2019s ridiculous. <\/p>\n

I just had my Facebook account frozen today because I tried to befriend other\u2019s in the network and they complained to Facebook. The Facebook whack jobs froze my friend requests for seven days. You know how many people I tried friending?\u2026three! Amazing, right? I wasn\u2019t even trying to sell them anything, I was literally looking to find new friends who had similar interests I had. <\/p>\n

If the internet marketing<\/strong> dumb asses just relax and market with some integrity, we just might have a better experience online. I am usually very calm and collected, but I can\u2019t stand it anymore. I am cancelling several of my accounts today just so I don\u2019t have to keep getting all those \u201ccanned\u201d marketing messages that are completely clogging up my email. I don\u2019t know about you, but I hate having any unread email in my inbox. Lately, I am receiving so many messages from so many different people that they are all just a blur. <\/p>\n

No one stands out, except Anna from TrafficGenerationCafe.com. I have to admit, if you ever want to create an internet marketing business, you should take a look at this girls site. She even goes so far as to say that the only \u201ccanned\u201d message you will receive is the first one and that is understandable since she complies with the Can-Spam Act. <\/p>\n

She doesn\u2019t display all the crazy \u201cBuy Now\u201d buttons with flashing red and yellow lights and explicit videos from marketing dorks showing you all their earnings stating that you can make a million dollars a month too\u2026it\u2019s easy\u2026yeah right. Ana\u2019s personality really comes through her pages. Sure, she is selling different products online, but I would be the first to buy a product from her over most of the other online goof balls anytime. She takes the time to interact with her email list<\/a> and really does provide solid information with subtle calls-to-action that are barely recognized. She replies to her comments and offers suggestions and this is the type of internet marketing I want to do. Seriously, check out how real internet marketing should be done\u2026you\u2019ll probably buy something from her.<\/p>\n

My Benjamin Franklin Approach to This Internet Marketing Article<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Pros<\/th>\nCons<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
Work From Home<\/td>\nGet Your Account Shut Off because some jerk took advantage of the system<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Be Your Own Boss<\/td>\nConstantly defend yourself and your products<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Write about whatever you want<\/td>\nFollow strict guidelines to prevent spamming and link farms<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Meet cool people<\/td>\nMeet uncool people<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Get to have fun and create time<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Promote products you believe in<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Help others and participate in cool communities\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Well, if I were going to make a decision, I would take a look at whatever side I could fill up the most and voila! There\u2019s my decision. So, even though I have a difficult time understanding the mundane thought process associated with CHEATERS, I am going to keep on keepin\u2019 on. I need to continue working on my business because I don\u2019t want to quit. I also don\u2019t want to lose sight of the fact their are a couple decent internet marketers out there that really want to provide good products and services. Why the heck would I take the time to write every day if it wasn\u2019t something I was passionate about? Why would you do some of the things you do consistently unless you weren\u2019t passionate about them? <\/p>\n

As my rant for the ridiculous comes to a close, I want to pipe off with a resounding, stern middle finger to those of you who don\u2019t get it and to all the others, keep up the good work and drive on. Remember, go check out Ana\u2019s site\u2026no, I don\u2019t make anything off this, accept a good feeling that I am practicing what I preach! <\/p>\n

I really hope this gets some response\u2026and to think I was originally going to write about how to set up a custom landing fan page on Facebook\u2026ha, maybe another day when I cool down\u2026maybe in seven days when they let me try to invite another three people into my new Facebook family!<\/p>\n
