An opportunity can only be considered a scam when it is out to cheat you of your money. In my opinion, if no monetary terms are involved, I will not label it as a scam. Since there have been so many reports of people getting scammed, why is there still a rise in such cases? All boils down to 2 things. Greed and fear.

Scammers target people who are greedy and who are looking for an easy opportunity to make money online, without any hard work. They make us believe that there are really such opportunities, and all you have to do is to ‘do this and earn money’, ‘invest some money to get bigger returns’ , ‘pay me and I will tell you how’, etc. There are countless ways to get scammed online. Here is a quick guide to tell the bad eggs from the good ones.

Common words used in scam opportunities:

~ Earn while you sleep. Yawn!
~ Work in your pajamas or underwear.
~ No work needed. Oh, really?
~ 200% money returns. You can try robbing a bank! You get much more!
~ Let your money roll & roll…..yea, then banks will have to close down.

Common scams:

1. High Yield Investment Programs (HYIPs). They require you to invest a large sum of money, with the promise of high returns in a very short time. This usually involves investing in some kind of ‘future projects’.

2. Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) opportunities. Don’t get me wrong. Not all of them are scams. They are genuine companies that market quality products and members get paid for sales of the products/services. Take note that if there are no real products/services, and you earn only by asking people to join, it’s most probably a pyramid scam. It’s illegal of course.

Other Online Scams to take note:

1. Lottery scams. Congratulations! You have won a new full HDTV (or PS3, iphone, fridge, etc.). All you need to do is visit the website and provide your credit card number and PIN to cover “shipping and handling” costs. You are right, the item never comes. You have just exposed yourself to identity theft.

2. Phishing scams. You receive an e-mail that looks like it came from your bank, warning you about identity theft and asking that you log in and verify your account information. Your login details are recorded and sold to other people.

3. Auction scams. You won the bid for an item and the item never arrived after you have made a payment for it. Auction sites like eBay have made strict regulations against such scammers.

Do you know that you can actually make money online with these legitimate ways? Discover how you can quickly build a successful home-based business for yourself and your loved ones!

Don’t agree?

Please ask your wife, husband or significant other—in other words, the nearest typical consumer—to answer the following 7 questions:

1. Does viewing pop-up ads on your computer curl your toes in orgasmic delight? Yes or No?

2. Does a mailbox filled with junk mail cause your palms to itch and sweat with nervous anticipation? Yes or No?

3. Do you suffer from outbursts of violent anger when a TV commercial is interrupted by a TV movie? Yes or No?

4. Do you prance around the parking lot with ecstatic abandon whenever you find a flyer on your car’s windshield? Yes or No?

5. Does keeping a phone next to your soup spoon on your dinner table (for fear of missing the next telemarketer’s call) help your digestion? Yes or No?

6. Do you drink pots of black coffee at 10 pm so you can stay awake to watch 30-minute infomercials at 4 am? Yes or No?

7. Do you drool at the thought of spending $300 on an iPhone just so you can see interactive ads on its big, cool screen? Yes or No?

Have I made my point? Yes or No?

Advertising is dead. If you’re a marketer… save your money.

Consumers have been over-advertised to and over-sold.

Unless you’re conducting a white sale, fire sale or going out of business sale—and halving or quartering your prices—advertising won’t get you a bang, a whimper or a nickel for your buck. Not anymore.

The only ads that still earn their keep are those in newspapers and on supermarket windows that read:

Big SALE

Buy 1 Can of Campbell Soup for 89 Cents

and Get a 2nd Can—FREE!

Supplies limited!

(or something like that)

Beyond that, the first reaction most consumers have when viewing any other type ad is not to believe anything it says.

And if they have no need, desire or knowledge of you, your product or your service, their second reaction is to play basketball. Their arm and hand muscles reflexively contract, causing them to roll up your ad into a tight little ball and shoot for the nearest basket.

Beware the Consumer’s Anti-Ad Third Eye

Because the consumer has become so desensitized to advertisements in general, if you don’t shove your ad, sales letter or flyer directly and firmly into their hands—they won’t even notice it.

It’s as if they’ve developed an anti-ad third eye that instinctively alerts them to an ad’s presence and then immediately shoot’s a signal to the brain—instructing their other two eyes not to see it.

For example…

How often, when surfing the web, have you run across a web page with a bright red, 40-word, one-sentence headline, ending with an exclamation mark or two or three?

Unless you’re searching for that particular web page, the average information-seeking web-surfer will immediately recognize that site as an ad, and click away—without even reading two words of it.

The same thing happens when reading the newspaper, or driving past a billboard on the highway…consumers simply refuse to look at the ads.

So What’s a Marketer to Do?

Advertorialize!

Huh? I’ll explain…

The success of the internet has proven one thing above all else. Human beings, which includes consumers, are addicted to information.

Google, the internet version of a library card catalog, exists, thrives, dominates and will eventually own the world, because consumers are in a constant, never-ending search for more and more information.

And why do consumers want ever more information that will convince, compel and persuade them to a certain point of view?

So they can make the most efficient, prudent and intelligent choice about whatever it is they want to own, possess, consume or BUY.

Yes, BUY.

Though consumers hate to be sold; they still love, nevertheless, to BUY.

And their decision to buy is most effectively influenced when they are provided with information that supports, confirms and increases their already resident desire to BUY!

Enter the Advertorial

The advertorial is an ad disguised as an editorial. A cunning wolf in sheep’s clothing. It’s roughly 80% useful, compelling and persuasive information and 20% sales pitch.

It will never mention the name of the product, its features or benefits in the headline. Because that would be too obvious—it would scream ad and will immediately activate the consumer’s anti-ad third eye.

Instead, in a newspaper, in a direct mail promotion, or on the internet the advertorial will attract attention and readership by merely dangling the tantalizing promise of free actionable and profitable information… if the reader will only continue to read on.

An advertorial headline won’t scream: LOSE 10LBS OF FAT IN 10 DAYS OR YOUR MONEY BACK!!

Instead, the advertorial headline will read: John Hopkins Research PhD discovers active ingredient in ice cream that causes rapid weight loss.

Then the advertorial will proceed to show and prove, in pseudo-journalistic fashion, the What, Why, Who, Where and When of how the product or service does precisely what the consumer wants and needs.

The advertorial delivers valuable, documented information that relentlessly leads the reader to the inevitable conclusion that the solution to their problem or need is… whatever it is you’re selling.

It doesn’t look, taste or smell like an ad, and the consumer’s anti-ad third eye will never see it coming.

Try it… you’ll like it.
