Gurus Mutual Appreciation Society

Gurus Mutual Appreciation Society

Do not believe everything you read in testimonials on sales pages for internet marketing products? I’m not so familiar with the culture of niche marketing testimonials, but in the world of internet marketing per se, it’s very much an Internet Marketing Gurus Mutual Appreciation Society.

If you don’t believe me, go take a look at, say, a dozen internet marketing sales pages, and you’ll find the same names cropping up time and time again. Actually, what surprises me is that they find any time to manage their own internet marketing ventures! LOL.

Many of the products they are providing a testimonial for will be fine packages, I’m sure. But they all joint venture together, they are all busy scratching each other’s back. Is anyone really likely to bad-mouth a semi colleague’s product, and anyway if they did, we’d hardly get to see the evidence, would we?

CEOs scratch each other's backs

Guess I’m busy guru bashing again, sheesh, I don’t mean to, but get kinda wound up as the writing progresses!

Truth is, I’m just trying to alert you to the fact that all is not what it may appear to be, and on this topic, don’t allow yourself to feel pressured to buy immediately, rather than fully considering a product’s worth and whether or not it will enhance your own internet marketing projects, and whether it’s something that you need right now.

Perhaps it’s a good product, but do you need it now? If not, wait. For one thing, by the time you do need it, the price may have dropped. Also, there will be numerous promotions from affiliate marketers competing to make money online promoting the product via their affiliate link or reseller’s sales page. They’ll be offering all kinds of additional bonuses in return for your business. Overall, you’ll very likely come away with a great deal more for your bucks, if you do NOT rush in.

So, don’t hurry your decision to buy or not. Don’t misunderstand, I’m not advocating procrastination — that wicked lil ol’ thief of time — but simply weigh up ALL the options.

Oh, and if the ad advises that the price is due to increase at midnight (on the day you’re reading about it… funny how often that’s the case, isn’t it [LOL]), let it. Cos it’s very unlikely that it actually will increase… ever, never mind midnight!

Don’t be bullied, these threats are usually nothing more than a bluff to put the frighteners on YOU. To nurture your fear that might miss out on something valuable. If an internet marketing product has true value, the vendor does not need to apply underhand tactics to sell it. It’s that simple.

But whatever you do… ENJOY yourself, it’s an adventure!

    Good point - the ‘guru gene pool’ is a bit incestuous. K.
