Has Honesty Become a Thing of the Past?
June 23rd, 2010 | 
Author: As the low economy in the United States takes its toll on many, people are constantly looking for alternative ways to solve their dilemma, including the internet.
In a frantic search to find the ultimate solution, they spend their hard-earned money on “Get Rich Schemes” only to find out that the bargain they hoped for wasn’t a bargain at all.
With crushed hopes, dreams, and an empty wallet many people retaliate. Some may pass it off by learning negative things such as not trusting anyone else… possibly for the rest of their lives. Others quit buying altogether. While still others, run and tell there friends they got ripped-off and by whom causing a viral rift, giving marketers a bad reputation.
Either way we look at these facts, we still come to the same conclusion. We need to change the way we are doing things and become more ethically inclined when running our businesses.
Honesty has a great deal to do with any marketer, if not for any other reason but to be able to continue with one’s business. Secondly, it helps someone else get what they need.
I remember a time when people put great trust in their local merchant. You remember those days? The marketer was fair and usually gave the consumer more than they bargained for…They new the secret to long term success.
We too have that same power to claim long term success and to help change what is going on in the internet marketing circle! By claiming this power and making a few changes, we can help stimulate the economic growth that is needed to overcome hard times.
You may be saying to yourself, but I am honest in my work. You may be! There are still many marketers that use ethical marketing when selling their products. That’s great, but what about passing these ethical techniques to future merchants? Like our affiliates for example…Are we teaching them about honesty? How about the new marketer who seeks wisdom and a JV with some of the old timers?
I know some folks who have been making money for several years are going to say, “We’ve tried to teach the young about ethical marketing, but they aren’t listening.” That may be so. We cannot twist anyone’s arms to get them to do the right thing.
However, we can be examples for them. We leave the ball in their court. The young will then learn from their mistakes. Without customers and future financing, they will once again seek wisdom from the old timers.
Then, and only then, will online marketing be instrumental in economic growth so it can stand firm throughout the trials that face all of us.
If this article offends anyone maybe it’s time to take a look at the overall marketing picture.
Trust is built on the very foundation of honesty, especially when dealing with costumers. It’s a two-way street…the consumer gets what they paid for, their hopes are flying high and their wallets still have money in them so they can buy other things.
The marketer on the other hand, gets a repeat costumer that will tell his/her friends, who will tell their friends, and so on, making more money in the long run, while building great lasting relationships, and a fantastic reputation. To put a sugar coating on top, they are helping someone else.
So, I guess we need to ask ourselves these questions: Do we continue with this “Dog-eat dog” attitude and eat dirt?
Or… Do we claim the power from past years and help change the mindset of the consumer which will lead us to bigger profits where everyone is happy?
The choice is ours! I know what I am doing do you?

Lead Generation Secrets, LinkedIn 12 Step Guide to Generating Leads
Using LinkedIn resources is a great way of generating leads but even seasoned businessmen sometimes scratch their heads once they get to LinkedIn. In my desire to provide marketers with well organized information on LinkedIn, I decided to suggest to my readers 12 lead generation secrets for working with LinkedIn as a lead generator.
Before I start, I would like to say a couple of thing about your general strategy in working with LinkedIn. Making your information and postings relevant for LinkedIn users, you will build not only trust in this resource but also in your product. The market is indeed huge and there are quite a few big groups of users who hypothetically would want to hear what you have to say. Thus, it should be your priority to find those who are interested and not to dump the info on everyone else just for the sake of numbers. The second rule is that of contacting those who are interested in hearing from you. Try to be personal with people and it will help you a lot in your business. Read the rest of this entry »

My take on JV Giveaways…
I’m sure you’ve run across one of these… you know, the Giveaways where “all the best marketers” give away their products?
If you’re a regular member… they can be good. I mean, who doesn’t want the goods for free? lol (Just be sure to unsubscribe from the lists after receiving the products or you will be buried in SPAM!)
Become a contributor and it’s debatable.
Sure, you can build your list… but who wants just a list of freebie seekers? Or a list of other marketers who will be marketing the same thing you will? Not me.
Another minus is that it takes value away from your product! Who is going to buy it if they can get it for free somewhere else?
Uhhh… not me!
Will it still be worth $59.95 after 100s of other marketers get their hands on it?
I don’t think so!
