Learning ropes of Internet Marketing is one of hardest things to do; even more so if you are a Newbie to computers and Web. I remember watching movie "The Flim Flam Man" and heard quote "You Can't Con an Honest Man."
The above quote, taken in context of movie, did make perfect sense. The movie dialog implied that selfish desire to gain an unethical edge was hook experienced con man used to snare his victims or "pigeons." In end, victims fell for con because they had a disregard for Golden Rule!
I'm bringing this up because thinking implied by quote doesn't fit many of offers Internet Newbie will encounter while searching for a business guide.
You can be a good, honest and hard working person and still fall for many of traps awaiting you in cyberspace! The most appealing target for experienced Web con man, is Newbie's lack of experience and knowledge!
All over Net there are offers constantly bombarding Newbies with latest systems and applications; "new" methods that will grow a business with a minimum effort!
Some of them are given fancy names: "the K-15 System Will Make You Wealthy!" or, "You Have a Ground Floor Opportunity with G-ZAP, get in now because it won't be available tomorrow...."
