I think things are getting out of hand where buying products for learning to make money on the Internet are concerned. Of course everyone is selling their “secrets” or so they claim. Today I clicked on a link to a pitch page called “Steady Income Secrets” sent to me by “Affiliate’s alert.” which is a newsletter I obviously signed up for. ..Go figure.. The email was signed by one Michael Marzan
(aka Maayan Marzan) But at the bottom of the email page I found this:
Click Leaders Technologies Ltd
POB 4316
Bet Arie, 71947
ISRAEL
At the top of the pitch page I found this: From: Michael Jones
I have no idea who these people are or why I signed up for their newsletter, or how good their product is but I looked back at all of the emails they sent that I had not open and they all go to the same pitch page that sells the same thing which is a program for $995.00 that says they will teach you how to make money by building and selling websites that sell monthly memberships. (Their product is marked down from $2000.00 ) Is that a bargain or what? NOT!
I did unsubscribe from their newsletter, (which is not a newsletter at all) but I just want to give my opinion of membership sites in general. I think most of them suck so why would I want to learn how to build them? And who on earth owns “Click Leaders Technologies Ltd? Someone in Israel it would seem.
More and more, as people are learning how to make money on the Internet you will see information products selling for higher and higher prices. I just don’t get a good feeling for these over priced products. How do I know they are over priced, you might ask. Well, because I would never pay that. I have books I that I paid 30 dollars for that have loads of information in them that I have not had time to absorb, why on earth would I want something like that? Besides, I don’t like membership sites. I want to pay one price for something, download it and that is the end of it. I don’t like contracts and monthly dues to everything that comes down the pike either. I looked at their affiliate page and guess what? An affiliate receives $450.00 for each sale. I wouldn’t sell the product either, I don’t care what they would pay me.
The one good thing about the pitch page is that there was not a bunch of annoying pop-ups or pop-unders or last chance one-time offers, or squeeze pages, or “talk to us live chat” before you go.. when you attempt close the window. The only reason I can think of for that is that these people are rank amateurs in the annoying Internet Marketing hype business. They will probably get there soon enough, unfortunately, if they don’t fall on their face and scrap the program first.
I don’t like the up sales and the over-priced information products with all their testimonials, and all their hype and bonuses and one-time offers, and threats to sell only a limited number. I am mad and I’m not gonna take that crap any more. Don’t buy from these people.
