Gary,
Thanks for recycling this post for those of us who had not taken a step for the first time around. I just recently found a leader I want to follow and his steps are like your steps. Yay! [quietly, but with goal-post arms!)

Thanks for your articles and this site.

Thanks Travis. I think all the hyped up ‘get rich’ products ultimately kill a lot of peoples’ dreams. Mind you, there’s nothing at all wrong with hype provided the product really is *that* good.

Hey Gary,

Great article. It is far too common to see headlines and far fetched claims like you mentioned in your post. This is a huge reason why so many new comers to internet marketing think they are going to be a millionaire in a few days.

It’s always good to see another IMer who actually helps people create a real business online. That’s the only way to ensure success for the long run.

Keep up the great work!

Travis

Hi Gary

Nice post. It also took me a long time to sort out the Lemonade stand Pretenders from the Real Thing

Also cost me a lot of time and $’s but fortunately I found out how to convert my time into money and get paid for spending time on the internet

Very good post! I think this is really serious problem. 80% of online marketers are giving misleading information and those “entrepreneurs” are feeding their wallets with their victims money.
On the other hand – people are not very keen to learn proper marketing skills and are mainly interested in easy money.
I wrote an article about similar activities. This is the link: http://EzineArticles.com/expert/Maria_Kuczborska

It’s a bit sad that there are so many of those programs around. I’m sure they drive a large proportion of people away from online marketing.

Thanks for dropping by Nina . Yep – once you move your focus away from the internet marketing eye candy and start following the right people and programs you can’t really do anything except continually improve.
