How to complain (UK) http://www.consumer.gov.uk/consumer_web/complain.htm

In ending:

There`s just so much hype out there, and it`s easy to get "sucked in". We all want to believe that we can actually make promised 10`s of thousands of dollars within just a couple of weeks.

In reality, things like that just don`t happen. The only person who can possibly, if at all, make that amount of money, is program owner. At YOUR cost. Always remember, if it looks unbelievable, it probably is.

No matter what you market online, always do your homework before signing up for anything. It`s REALLY important to do a lot of research before you decide to pay out any money.

Don`t rely on just a couple of sources for information, find as many as you can. Check out lists and forums, see if they`ve got anything to say about program/product you`re considering.

Ask all your friends and contacts if they`ve heard anything, good or bad. Go to marketing chatrooms, see what people there have to say about it. Ask about everything you need answers to regarding product/program. You`ll be surprised at amount of information you can get.

Get in touch with owners, ask questions. If they`re elusive, or don`t answer you at all, then my advice would be to steer clear.

Above all: Never EVER use money you can`t afford to lose.

What I grew to realize was that challenge I face is just getting you to acknowledge that it is possible. I frequently talk to subscribers who are busily trying to market a $20 ebook for 50% commission. I have to emphatically remind them that this will never make them independently wealthy. The only reason you should be selling $20 ebooks is to get names on your list and to qualify them for up-sells to more lucrative products that they need.

It takes being at a seminar or conference and watching someone purchase a $5000 product or $10,000 in consulting services before many of those I mentor experience shift in thinking I try desperately to effect. You see, this shift in thinking is necessary if you really want to become an internet success story.

That shift in thinking does a number of things for you. At same time that you learn secret to driving millions to a website, you realize that you may not really want a million visitors a month. As you learn to create a mailing list of several hundred thousand, you may realize that what you really want is a smaller but very targeted list. As your thinking shifts (and light comes on) you discover that you are *actually* adopting essential mindset.

What's purpose of sharing with you a few moment of candid conversations with some internet marketing millionaires. It's actually to make you want to begin associating with same types of people. When you associate with and brainstorm with people who think this big, you magically become one of them. Then you sit back, look at them, and realize they really are no different than you. The biggest difference is frame of reference and what they believe to be possible. Find a way for you to have candid conversations with a few millionaires today and watch what happens.
