			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It never fails&#8230; Week after week &#8212; day after day I get hammered with sales from the GRUUUROO&#8217;s that &#8220;HAVE THE ANSWER&#8221; to make you filthy rich over night, if you just buy their super-duper widget.</p>
<p>&#8220;My &#8216;WIDGET&#8217; will do everything to make you wealthy &#8212; make your morning coffee &#8211; and service you breakfast in bed&#8230; and it &#8216;ONLY&#8217; 297/397/497/997/1997/ etc&#8230;etc.&#8221; </p>
<p>I even watched this so-called marketing woman yak for 90 minutes and then without batting an eye asked for <strong>$9,997.00 For &#8216;HER SYSTEM&#8217;!!!</strong> </p>
<p>But what really amazes me is that most after just two weeks go by:</p>
<ul>
<li>A) It&#8217;s now selling on eBay for 5 bucks</li>
<li>B) The &#8216;system/technique&#8217; doesn&#8217;t work any more</li>
<li>C) They NEVER mention it again.</li>
<li>D) They&#8217;re sell some &#8216;new&#8217; widget!</li>
</ul>
<p>I wonder how many actually <strong>&#8216;READ&#8217;</strong> the disclaimers, (you know that fine print in faded out gray type so you either can&#8217;t read it or just ignore it.) </p>
<p>In short, it&#8217;s basically: &#8220;I lied; the only one who&#8217;s going to be making any money is me because you were stupid enough to buy this crap.&#8221;</p>
<p>I ran across one of the &#8220;FEW&#8221; honest guru&#8217;s articles about how he was at one of the hyped up seminars and the guy was there selling his super-widget email program and the people were fighting to throw their money on the table for a copy&#8230;. The Honest Guru ask the other &#8230; aahh? person? Why he did that? and didn&#8217;t he know that technique of emailing didn&#8217;t work any more??? He&#8217;s reply: &#8220;Sure! But a got a garage full of the crap and I got to get rid of it!&#8221;</p>
<p>Another GRUUROOO said he paid only $250 to get an ebook &#8216;AND&#8217; the sales page written by a ghostwriter and made over a million bucks thru hype! (It wasn&#8217;t worth 10 bucks &#8212; OH Right! You never sell anything for even money, It&#8217;s always has to end in a &#8220;Seven&#8221; ($9.97))</p>
<p>Then you&#8217;ve got the <strong>&#8220;CLONE PEOPLE &#8212; THE COPY CATS&#8221;</strong>; They take whatever is &#8216;hot&#8217; that week &#8212; buy a copy, (And many times it&#8217;s thru their own affiliate links), then ship it off to a freelancer to tare it apart and make their own cloned copy with less features. And again sell it at a hyped up price. (There&#8217;s one guy in the UK that&#8217;s done that several times. He made one cloned product, (totally buggy)&#8230; made 1.5 million and left everyone sitting while he went on holiday to India. About 3 to 4 months later he was at it again.)</p>
<p>OH! For all of you out there trying to make it in the marketing business &#8212; You ever get those emails that say: &#8220;Sell my widget and keep 100% of the money, Paid directly to your PayPal account!&#8221;</p>
<p>Well guess what?! You do that and you just built up that guy&#8217;s eMail List and not YOURS! Cause &#8216;HE/SHE&#8217; gets the customer&#8217;s name and email address not you!</p>
<p>One guy lost hundreds of his customers, cause the GRUUROO he was promoting/selling for got all the names and email addresses of his list.</p>
<p>And that brings up another point that &#8216;piss me off&#8217; &#8212; You&#8217;ve <strong>PAID</strong> for the product, BUT you can&#8217;t have it <strong>until</strong> you give them your name and email address&#8230;. in a sense hold something you&#8217;ve already paid for for ransom. If You don&#8217;t put the info in there; you can&#8217;t download the product even thou you&#8217;ve paid for it!</p>
<p>YES! There are still a few good/honest marketers out there, but they are dam hard to find. </p>
