8 Ways to Spot an Online Marketing SCAM

#3 No Contact Details

If you can’t even find a way to contact the company do you really think they have nothing to hide?

If something goes wrong with the product or you are not happy about something there will be no way to actually fix this.

AVOID it like the plague as it’s a ways to spot an online marketing SCAM!

#4 Way to Spot an Online Marketing SCAM- Terrible Support

Now imagine you’ve just forked out some dollar for a course. You have a technical issue with it, so you send an email. How would you feel if you don’t hear back from them for 3 days?

Your feeling of frustration and disappointment only grows when their response doesn’t really answer your question.

It’s another sign of things to come if they can’t even support you at the start.

A legit training program will have different ways of contact and often has a platform you can ask questions to the community and the existing members.

#5 Pay $27 Today for an instant $357 a day Online ATM Machine

Have you ever seen an outrageous claim like this before?

Of course you have!

You probably know there may be some people who do really well using this program. But to get these kind’ve results these people will almost definately have one or more of the following:

1. TIME (to spend working on it all day)
2. MONEY (to spend driving traffic or buying the upsells)
3. TRAFFIC (already have a large following)

If they are using a rediculous overnight success story or $10,000’s of income in the first month, you need to understand one thing:

This is NOT possible… so they are lying.

#6 Some Guy in a Lamboghini & Mansion

If you see the owner of a product in a picture of his lambo outside his mansion then you know what to do by now. Click that red X. This is a key way to spot an online marketing SCAM.

Just think… it’s possible to test drive a car, visit a national trust mansion and get a friend to take a photo on their phone. This proves NOTHING!

It’s a classic case of short man syndrome!

They are usually show boating and flaunting these things because they know their product lacks credibility or any actual quality.

#7 Run for the Hills if there are Hundreds of Complaints

If you’re like me you like to find out about a company before buying. There are a few ways to check whether a company recieves a lot of complaints but here are my favourite 2:

1. Mention (a social media tracking keywords website)
2. BBB (Better Business Bureau

Two examples of searches for different companies in mention. You can see what real people are saying about these companies.

It’s important to remember that a lot of GOOD companies will receive some complaints. In fact the better the company, the more customers it will have, the more likely someone will have a compaint.

For instance, someone may be annoyed that their product was delivered late, or maybe they didn’t use it how it was intended to be used.

However, if a company is receiving hundreds of complaints then your “Spidy senses” should be tingling!

#8 Training from when Dinosaurs were Alive

In the online world using updated techniques can be the difference between doing something illegal and making a bigger difference that Nelson Mandela.

Tinternet (in Peter Kay’s Northern accent) changes all the time.

Google, Facebook, Twitter all have these weird techie things called algorithms. If you are like me you have no idea (or really care) how these work. But what is important, if you’re serious about your online business, is what these changes means to YOU.

For example, some old school backlinking techniques (a link to your website) are banned from Google and won’t let your website rank at all now. Some older training programs may still tell you to do this!

Make sure the program you want to use gets updated more than Lady Gaga!
