Email Marketing: The B.S. Email Marketer - Are You One Of Them?

As a publisher and an avid reader of many online ezines, you start to gain a keen eye for what appeals to you and what doesn't. There are different ezines for many different purposes:

Information Ezines,
Ezines For Products and Services,
Tutorial Ezines., etc, etc, etc

After a while you start to realize why some of the ezines, you always end up leaving and the ones you don't even bother to open them up. Has nothing to do with a bad subject line, or filters, it has to do with the business morals of the publishers.

They are full of it. Plain and simple. Their whole ezine shouts B.S. and you wonder how they can even write this stuff with a straight face and dare to add their name to the email.

You know what I am talking about, the ones who sound worse than bad used car dealers. Every word out of their mouth sounds like a scam, they read online that they need a list to sell their products, so they put no effort into their ezines, if you even want to call it that. Trying to make a profit is one thing, but just trying to hustle by any scam method out there just to make that almighty dollar is another.

You know the kind...Does this remind you of a few:

  • They only sent you an email today because there must be a new product launching that they received a free copy in exchange for promotion and they in turn tell you how affordable it is for them and how much you will make by buying this product. They forget that this is the same email you have already received ten copies of from various other publishers who are telling you the same crap the owner of the product told them.

  • Once their 75% commission drops (and that is the ONLY reason they are promoting the product in the first place), you wont hear them ever mention the product again, in fact they will talk so much trash about the product, you begin to think the publisher has a multiple personality disorder since they have no recollection that last week they made the product sound better than the invention of Color TV.

  • On Their websites, are pictures of their families on yachts, luxury cars, and huge mansions, Amazing what Photoshop can do with pictures these days. Image cropping at it's best. Do you know how they really made their money? Chances are it wasn't from what they are trying to sell to you but you see this image of wealth and think it's going to rub off on you automatically.

  • They know the sites they are sending you to are scams, they know you will lose money, but they don't care, they just want to grab a slice of the money share and don't care that you spent money that you didn't have in the first place.

  • Every month they recommend a new product that can't possibly be lower than 100.00 so they can grab a great commission.

  • In their spare time, they are on every discussion board, trashing everyone else are creating so much controversy all just to get people to look at their site.
  • You know the kind, the ones who go on the boards complaining how a big company scammed them and conveniently that company is a competitor and they just use a different name like no one will figure it out.

  • These are also the same people who claim that they started their business with less than $50.00 and how they are paying all their bills now, and living it up.

    They forgot to mention that $50,000 grant they received as well to start their business but I guess that doesn't count, huh??

  • Guess What... B.S. is B.S. no matter how you wrap it up. Offline or Online, Email, Or Phone. It serves no purpose except to ruin your reputation and to make you look ridiculous in the long run.

    Remember when you talked a lot of B.S. in your neighborhood, you were the local fool, but now that you are online, you are the global idiot.

    Do you really think people don't talk when someone smells B.S.

    It's just not worth it, because trust me it will come back to haunt you in the worse way.

    Save your drama for the soap operas. Put your morals and ethics (if you have any, if not then its time to find a new set of business mentors) into your business and these are the ones who survive, whether you become a millionaire or not.

    I would rather see an informative article in an ezine, than a hyped up email full of why I should buy a product that I don't need just to line up your paypal account.

    Yes we all buy things that are a luxury not a necessity but come on, one more ebook on how to make a million in ten minutes is something we can all do without.

    One more site with a 15 by 20 Ultra forced 8 tier matrix with a $100.00 opening deposit that will build the downline for me, but after scrolling through the site for 20 minutes, you still have no idea what they are selling is something we can all do without.

    Oh and remember, just because they offered you a couple of crappy free ebooks and a free meta tag creator software doesn't make them any more legit than the next scam site.

    They think they are fooling the FTC, but they are just insulting your intelligence.

    Remember that the next time you pull out your credit card to spend money you don't have to lost it before the week is over, and as soon as you complain, numbers are disconnected and emails are bounced back to you.

    Be Smart, just because you are struggling online doesn't mean to get desperate and jump into everything that looks good.

    Unwrap it and you will see the real deal.

    Wise up and save your money for products and services that can really help you, not the ones that will make you go broke.
