Traps to Avoid in Internet Marketing

There are many internet marketers that specialize in one part of the internet marketing business.
While they know what they are talking about, offer reliable information, and a fair price selling it, the "TRAP" is that is only part of the story, and may not work well with the other parts.
What you have to be careful of is trying to assemble parts of the story yourself, without really knowing how they will work together.
It's like building a building.
You hire one architect, one contractor, one lawyer and negotiate a deal.
The contractor hires the specialty subcontractors and the architect supervises the project.
Your lawyer is available to settle any disputes and make sure that you are protected..
The point is that you should really not try to build the house yourself.
Your inbox and screen, if you choose to open the emails, becomes filled with parts of the story.
There are people who are selling: 1.
website development 2.
email marketing 3.
list building 4.
online advertising - PPC and SEO approaches 5.
graphic and logo design 6.
quick money making schemes of all kinds 7.
email courses 8.
ebooks 9.
coaching courses 10.
private coaching courses 11.
live seminar events ...
and so on and so forth.
I am sure that one day I will see an offer where some expert will be willing to move into your house and give you private tutoring lessons to insure your financial success for some outrageous amount of money.
The trap you have to avoid is spending small amounts of money (maybe $97 is not so small), on a lot of different tools that you really do not know how to use and how they work together.
What you end up with is a lot of partial information that really does not do the job.
You would be better off researching ezines.
com.
I am sure that if you took the time and effort you could find most of this information people are trying to sell you, for free.
You are better off picking a complete course, at a price you can afford, and then do some research.
I have yet to see one testimonial or social proof with a phone number attached where you can actually talk to a person to see if the stuff you are thinking about buying is really that great.
It would be refreshing if the internet marketeers added emails or phone numbers to their testimonials.
I would appreciate that very much.
Internet marketing sales tactics are similar to those used in a gambling casino.
Unless you go into the casino with a fixed amount of money, and a firm resolution of how much you will lose before you leave, you know what can happen (you lose all your money and then some).
At least in Vegas, losing your money is entertaining and sometimes even fun.
In internet marketing partial product deals, you not only can lose your money with no results, but you have to work hard, sometimes for weeks and months, to find out that the products you bought don't make you money.
Avoid this trap, it is a real bummer.
