But yes, many marketers will take your money and take you for a ride \u2013 but only if you let them.<br>If you wish to steer clear of these scams and save your money, here are a few pointers to take note of BEFORE you buy any digital products\/training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DigitalMarketing7-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"avoid buying low quality information products\" class=\"wp-image-1880 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DigitalMarketing7-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"avoid buying low quality information products\" class=\"wp-image-1880 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DigitalMarketing7-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DigitalMarketing7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DigitalMarketing7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DigitalMarketing7.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Do your research on the vendor<\/strong><br>This is the MOST important point of the lot. Join a few Facebook groups dedicated to online marketing and ask around there. Very often, you\u2019ll find people mentioning bad experiences they may have had with the vendor.<br>You\u2019ll also want to see what other products the vendor has created.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Do all their sales pages look similar with hyped up claims?<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Are the domains for their previous products still in existence?<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What\u2019s their ranking in the marketplace?<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Are there negative reviews for their products?<\/strong><br>It\u2019s important to remember that just because other marketers are hyping up the vendor\u2019s product that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that it\u2019s good.<br>Very often, the vendor\u2019s friends will be promoting the product and telling you what you want to hear\u2026 or they may be part of a \u2018back-scratching cabal\u2019 where everyone praises everyone else in the group just to appear legit.<br>You need to be sharper than that. Do your research on the vendor thoroughly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Analyze the sales page<\/strong><br>The next step will be to take a logical, unemotional approach to the sales page. Very often, sales copy is designed to play on your emotions &#8211; to hook you in with the promise of quick and easy money \u2013 without any work on your part.<br>You\u2019re told about \u2018push button profits\u2019 and \u2018million-dollar loopholes\u2019\u2026 and you end up believing that it\u2019s really possible for you to be making 5 figures a month within 2 weeks.<br>Really?<br>Do you really believe that?<br>Doesn\u2019t that sound too good to be true?<br>Yes, it does\u2026 and it is.<br>Almost all of these hyped up products do not work<br>If it was possible, why would these vendors be sharing their loopholes with you?<br>They\u2019d be laughing all the way to the bank. Not trying to get you to buy their products. Do not be misled by their fancy sales pages and sugar-coated sales copy. The brighter the picture, the darker the negative.<br>Making money online is hard work \u2013 and anyone who tells you otherwise has something to sell you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/infoproduct10-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"avoid buying low quality information products\" class=\"wp-image-1881 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/infoproduct10-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"avoid buying low quality information products\" class=\"wp-image-1881 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/infoproduct10-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/infoproduct10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/infoproduct10-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/infoproduct10.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Look out for blatant signs<\/strong><br>When you\u2019re on a sales page, go ahead and try closing the page. If you see a pop-up box suddenly appear and it\u2019s offering you a discount of a few dollars, that\u2019s a sure sign that the product is best avoided.<br>This is not generosity on the vendor\u2019s part. It\u2019s a last ditch attempt to hook you in. Don\u2019t eagerly grab the product just because you got $3 off and think you got a deal.<br>You didn\u2019t. You really didn\u2019t. You got scammed.<br>If you stopped for a second to think about it, you\u2019d realize that people who didn\u2019t try closing the page wouldn\u2019t have gotten the discount and would have paid more for the product.<br>Does that seem legitimate to you? After all, you could have been one of them.<br>If that doesn\u2019t sit right with you\u2026 then do you think the product will be any better than the disreputable tactics on the sales page?<br>Sure, there are attention-grabbing income stats on the sales page \u2013 but whose stats are these and where are they coming from?<br>You may see a bunch of smiling faces on the sales page, supposedly of satisfied customers \u2013 but why do they all look like stock photos? Who are these people anyway?<br>So many questions\u2026 so few answers.<br>See, it\u2019s these questions that you should be asking yourself before you buy any product. You need to be a cynic par excellence.<br>This is NOT one area where you want to be overly optimistic. Scan the sales page like a hawk. Ask around about the vendor.<br>Exercise due diligence before buying. You could spend years and thousands of dollars spinning your wheels and going nowhere \u2013 trapped in a vicious cycle of buying products that are all foam and no beer.<br>Or you could stop buying products on a whim and proceed cautiously. There\u2019s no need to kiss so many frogs to find a prince.<br>There are many good products out there that will help you in your online marketing. You just need to ask around for recommendations.
