Big Foot is Real!

Big Foot is in the news today. Many writers noted that the men who claim to have found Big Foot in the northern woods of Georgia also run Big Foot expeditions for profit. If this breaking news was used as a means of getting free advertising for their business, it is a brilliant tactic. We love our myths and legends, don’t we?
While reflecting on this news, I contrasted it to the way some internet marketers promote their products. Their “squeeze pages” use compelling keywords that are well researched to attract people. The landing pages claim to have found something brand new and yet undiscovered that will deliver endless streams of hungry buyers to your website and enhance your bank accounts by tens of thousands of dollars per day.
The latest trend seems to be creating a sense of urgency by telling the reader only so many copies of this secret method will be released to the public. Have you ever googled the product name to find out how many other people have published EXACTLY the same site? Try it sometime!
Let’s consider the idea of getting rich by doing nothing. Many internet marketers are laughing their way to the bank selling products that claim to do just that. Is that a hoax or is it possible? Their business ethics permit them to play on the emotions of people who don’t know anything about online success and are looking for a magic pill that will solve all their financial worries in the wink of an eye. The website for any product or service that promises a fat wallet while you relax in a lawn chair doing nothing is not interested in you or your success. They want your money and they are leading you down a primrose-bordered path to another disappointment.
Is it unethical to leverage people’s emotions and interests to gain their attention? I admit to using the Big Foot news today to bring you to my blog but I didn’t attract you here to lure you into buying the “next best thing” or seduce you into joining a membership site with excessive monthly fees that has “just launched” and will be fully developed long after your 56-day money back guarantee period expires.
I want to help you REALLY succeed!
Face it. There are no magic wands or nose twitching techniques that will turn you into an overnight millionaire. You need a mentor with expertise to show you the way. I can help you learn how to set up your online presence and also teach you how to use inexpensive or free internet marketing tools and techniques that WILL promote your online brand image and deliver targeted traffic and leads to your business website.
Being successful at anything takes focus, work and practice. An internet business is no different.

I think you have proven your point very well by doing what you just did with big foot. I also try to avoid misleading pitches because you’re not serving anyone with that attitude, how would I be able to build relationships of trust when I’m ripping people off? I think a lot of the guru’s look at us like dumb fools who need to get lifted some money, but in fact we’re all hard-working individuals who try to make our lives better. I applaud any initiative that actually helps people.
