Internet Marketing Opportunities, Are Most BS?

Put up a website, make a lot of money, right? You don't even have to have a product, you can make your own information product. Just do what "they" tell you to do and you will have the money rolling in. All you have to do is what all the "gurus" tell you to do. "Internet Marketing" has become a catch all phrase for what amounts to be a lot of BS for the most part. Marketing products on the internet is big business. A good many people do very well by selling products and services on the web. That said there are great many "internet marketing experts" that make their money purely by telling people how to make money.

If you're entire business is making money by selling information to people about how to make money selling information to people then that's not a real business, especially if you are hyping the amount of money you are making in order to do it. I am not saying that everyone who does this is a bad person, but most have no conscience.

Unfortunately there are some people that should not be in business but would like to be. Many of these people do not have realistic expectations of what it takes to make it from standpoint of neither time nor money. These people are usually easy prey for these "Internet Marketing Guru's" selling ebooks and utilities to them. What ends up starting out as a $49.00 ebook purchase turns into $5000 to $10,000 of ebooks, courses, and outsource website programmers.

Without a plan of knowing what you are doing, don't start. Bootstrapping is one thing, Flying blind without a plan is another. I suggest you don't.

So the bottom line is that most are BS because no one really tells you what it's going to make to start making money, nor the amount of time it's going to take. Do your homework and hope for the best but plan for the worst.
