Figuring out bad marketing bluffs/pitches..

28 November 2007 - By Ahson Rafiq - Filled in Internet Marketing

This was so overdone that it was obvious that this kid wasn’t going to get anywhere in the marketing world with that kind of attitude, this thread at dp was posted a few days ago and since then it has generated alot of hype, and not the good kind.

This kid “Waqar Ali Shah” going by the name “manchesterguy” on dp, posted a thread on how he “alone” destroyed the entire SEO industry the minute the thread went live i knew it was gonna end in one of two situations on the Poster’s part..

“..And now i’m going to release this $500 ebook that will tell you all the secrets big SEOs don’t!”

or

“..Now heres my site where i blog about SEOs and how they are in reality so that you the users know if you are getting ripped off or not, now pay me for it!! its a once in a life time chance!! Don’t miss out!!”

I posted this because this is just one sad-sad attempt at selling ebooks or products online..

Now if a marketing pitch or any claim made on the web has the following characteristics, its pretty much a cry for money..

  1. Promising ground breaking or earth shaking results
  2. Claim to prove a 1000% profit on your investment
  3. Bashing reputed companies that earn 1000x what they earn (its jealousy, too obvious)
  4. Posting annoyingly long replies which are so long that they are borderline bullshit..
  5. ..And people who claim to be “experts” or “the best”..truth is no one is good at making money online, everyone lives and learns..
