Ever wondered if the people behind those nice advertisements featuring Lamborghini cars and photos in Cancun are lying to you? Trust your gut on this one, because your suspicions are right. Most marketers or influencers are not to be trusted.

Whenever a YouTube video or blogpost pops up showing you “the new radical uber-secret method to make 500$ in 30 seconds”, the best thing to do is close the window.

If an ad says “You can make 200$ an hour with this simple trick” make sure to place your credit cards in a safe place, away from the PC.

Anyone who makes 500$ in such a little time, and that is willing to “share it right away” is telling you a big lie, or only a half of the truth behind it.

Competition is tough, merciless and such amount of money is hard to do even with the help of precise investments, social media power and experienced people behind it.

And that is why there are 3 reasons why I don’t trust in most of marketing tactics or gurus around the web.

Number One: They promise “awesome earnings” with no effort/investment

Real money comes after doing a smart real work. No one is going to pay you a penny without being offered something of value or beneficial for their daily lives.

The rush for money can be so intense that makes people forget that behind every success there’s a process that must be made.

Most bloggers don’t see big PayPal payments in their accounts before some months or years of both hard and smart work (Yes, it’s not only about pure effort).

That guy with 850K followers on Instagram certainly didn’t get CPA rewards or 200$ Shout-out Requests overnight. The same goes for the guy with 100K subscribers on YouTube who probably didn’t good revenues on his AdSense account before putting some value in his content.

Even getting rich in a few years has a trial and error history behind it.

Most marketers aren’t telling you this truth. Plus, they take money from people with this easy tactic. Don’t be the guy/girl who gets his money taken away by some ad promising you a seat on a Porsche, without some work from your part.

Number Two: Too many are standing on Ponzi Schemes, not products

If your main source of money is the referral commission obtained through a friend who created an account on the latest released “QuickMoney investment platform” (probably based on Utah’s laws) you just became a part of the clichéd but never old Ponzi schemes’ world.

The worst part of the joke is that you actually are dependent on your social circle/media power to make money through these methods.

The most successful bloggers and marketers I’ve seen get the real money from real products, not from referrals.

If you can’t provide a monetizable product which brings benefits to others you’re just in another multi-level system, risking your money by not being on the top while some other guy is getting the real bucks.

Make sure to create elements which can provide value to others, and money will start getting into your pockets.

Number Three: Info about their success is very limited, hard to confirm or non-existent

Several elements of the internet business are based on illusions and other unreal facts. If the methods that some folks try to sell you are so “revolutionary”, why we don’t see a lot of people around the corner living a luxurious lifestyle?

There are very few real marketers which have provided an accurate account and proof of their economic successes. And the reason behind this is that most of them simply make money by offering unrealistic expectations.

Don’t be the person who falls for this. Make sure to do the proper research about your environment of business as this will help you to determine who are the real winners and trustful examples of men and women who actually breaking it.

And that was only the tip of the Iceberg…

Countless charlatans prey on the web in many different ways. In the beginning seeing such patterns can be hard, but once you get used to identify them say goodbye to unnecessary money loss.

Remember folks, the next time you see an ad offering you fancy cars and thousands of dollars by doing literally nothing, someone is trying to get an easy income from you. Just don’t trigger the trap.
