Internet Marketing Mayhem: Buyer Beware!

There is a furious battle raging. It is fuelled by the need for greed. And, to the victor go
the spoils. What's really at stake within this present day Internet Marketing Mania? Simply,
trillions of dollars, and billions of lives.

Within two years there will be around two Billion human beings, online and
interacting.

We are nearly at 1.7 billion today! That's a huge potential market just waiting to be
grabbed! It's an absolute opportunistic feeding frenzy; a crusade for POWER. Believe me
when I say, that 'those in the know', have already been working very hard, behind the scenes,
recruiting every Internet newbie soul that is willing to sell their soul, for the God Almighty
Dollar!

Thousands of mindless minions are being unsuspectingly recruited even as you read
these words. Millions of subscriber lists have already been accumulated. The War has begun-
you were just too distracted to see it happening. Or, to see it coming straight for you!

They know how to get you to do things. They know how to make you decide to go
with them. They know how to create a dream for you to share and believe in. They know how
to give you everything you have ever wanted. You're getting sleepier and sleepier, listen to
my words, and listen only to my words....

By first 'hyping' almost every benefit or feature of a product or service, the skilled
Internet marketeer creates an intended desire. With compelling emotional copy that uses
proven to work 'hypnotic'(suggestive) key words and phrases, they then dive in and go for
your jugular, and close the sale!

How many ways can someone, a deceptively devious marketeer for example, trigger a
reaction within you to 'buy'? Well, is there a limit to your imagination?

What exactly do I mean by 'hyping'? Does it imply or connote misrepresentation? It

can, and usually does; even if in some small way. Is it exaggerating? Of course it is! Do you
get what they claim? No, in most cases. Yes, yes, there are many honest, ethical and
considerate marketers out there; but the bottom line, is still and will always be the bottom
line...money! I don't know if you've noticed lately, but MONEY, and the pursuit of it, has a
funny way of changing people.

And, strangely enough, if you deliberately bypass an individual's innate desires and
needs, and trigger instead, an emotional reaction; what you get...is an emotionally responsive
sale. This elevated emotional state usually does not last. The euphoria soon wears off, and the
unsuspecting customer drifts back to earth, uncomfortably aware of their newly purchased
possession.

Despite 'buyer’s remorse', most refunds and returns through-out the industry are well
below 10%. Unfortunately, most people, (8-9) times more than the 10% that do get refunds,
don’t do anything with them, once they’ve purchased their products!

Instead of doing something with this new and unexpected toy; they let it sit, and sit,
idly by, and then, do something else, entirely different.

In other words, they didn't use it! They didn't benefit from it, regardless of its many
'hyped' and emotionally charged features. The mood is gone. They can now become easily
distracted, once again, by entirely something else that just 'happens' to trigger another
emotional response within them.

Do you see where I am going with this? Who do we blame, the unsuspecting
consumer, you, innocently searching for a solution to your problem or condition? Or, the
diabolically devious marketeer, armed to the teeth with an arsenal of tricks, techniques, and
strategies, that have been designed to wear you down, to deliberately by-pass your true
innate desires; and then, to trigger an automatic urge within you, an irresistibly compelling
impulse...to buy, buy, buy?

It's not easy to say no! Especially, when they've whipped you up to a frenzy, wanting a
product so bad that you can taste it. They even know the right colours to use that soothe or
excite, while eliciting a greater, a much greater response rate from you. They also know the
exact words, 'hypnotic' key words and phrases, equally designed and proven effective, to get
you to want, to only want, what they have to offer. Subliminally seductive, and completely
under your radar!

Everything you see, read, and hear, on that landing page or website, has all been put
together because they work; they get you into a fixed state, where you are receptive and ready
to be told what to do next. They've even named it, a “call to action”. This is where you are not
asked, but told, to buy their product, and buy it NOW-and usually, before it's too late! At this
point, you automatically do what you're told.

Congratulations, you're now a proud new owner of....

With sleight of hand precision, they deal you a card from the bottom of the deck. You
think you have a chance, you hope you have a chance...for more money, and a better life. But,
the deck is stacked, and the deal is dirty. How can you really ever hope to win?

The answer is truly simple. Don't play into their game! Don't play. Hey, but Life is a
Game you say, and you need to play something. Well then, I say, play something else instead.
Play something you can truthfully and willingly win at. Without being artificially and
emotionally charged into buying something you really don't need or want; or, will ever likely
use and benefit from.
 But, before you can have this truth, you must first recognize and realize what exactly is
wrong with this kind of mindless marketing control; and how it just ends up betraying you,
and everyone else that's fallen prey to it.

Finally find out: Who's really in control? Who wants to gain control, and most
importantly, how you can protect yourself and your family, from this brave new world of
Internet Marketing Mayhem?

Unconsciously, you are being controlled, mindlessly manipulated, and played like a
Stradivarius. You owe it to yourself to take a stand. You owe it to yourself to see other ways
of getting what you want without getting hurt yourself; and, or hurting other people in the
process.

Unscrupulous and deceptively devious marketing practices and practitioners do harm

the individual, as well as our society. They must be recognized for who they are, and
stopped! Trust your instincts; find out the truth for yourself. Don't continue to be distracted
and deluged with promises, offers, and riches beyond your grasp. Come back to reality.
Learn to see it as it is!

Don’t be fooled. Don’t be taken. Take your time. Reserve internet buying decisions and
impulses till you give it some more thought, independent thought, far removed from the
sales page in front of you.

Please, stay alert; and with your next internet marketing encounter, see if you can
escape the marketing mayhem that surrounds you. Decide to say to yourself, as you read
those captivating and enticing words...it’s only a sales page, it’s only an offer... and, I will
probably never need it or use it, ever, ever again!
