Mail Day Presents The Quick Fix Offers

Mail Day Presents The Quick Fix Offers

Today was mail day. Time to tackle that horrendous beasty with the voracious appetite that sucks me dry from effort to contain it.

I keep a pretty comprehensive set of SWIPE files on all manner of subjects so my mail is more than unwanted spam and useless business offers.

It is one particular mail that is responsible for this blog entry. "Become a Travel Agent in ONE week"

Perhaps it is because my husband Chris works as a booking agent for one of the biggest 5 star hotel agencies that got me going on this one. I know the long hours and intensive skill set he needs to set up your travel itinerary and there is no way you can learn to do that in ONE week!

You can, however, work your butt off finding leads to send to these companies and let them make the money while you settle for the poor pay.

Is this sort of advertising and affiliate offers the reason why so much hype gets plastered into creating a bad smell in the online business world?

Is this why so many excited newbies get sucked into how easy it is to join a prospective program fully believing they stand a chance of building an income?

A good 99% of beginners on the net are not here to learn how to build a business. That is the last thing on their minds. Instead, their focus is on how much money can they make.

Perhaps life's issues or their own lack of the proper education, or retirement issues with poor preparation for increased cost of living has left them in desperate need of quick cash just to survive the week.

What a shock to them to find out there is no quick fix.

There is no way to fault the creative business owner who realizes this is THE BIGGEST targeted market out there to create an income off of.

Thus affiliate programs designed to help the desperate and the naive flood the net to further feed the need.

These desperate beginners work harder for their dollar than they would at a full time job for way less pay. No one can live on promises.

It is not just paid to promote programs either that are guilty of taking advantage of this market. I am sure you have your own list of programs that are best ignored. Whether they be scam, sham or just not worth it, that list is longer today than most honest business opportunities.

Does that sort of program put a greater onus on the way we advertise? I think so as the honesty we project will one day pay off.

And the support we can give, the insights on how to create passive or steady incomes, the business models we use that project a long lasting successful future have to attract the serious prospect.

While it is easy to feel sorry for these desperate people, to wish there was something we could do to help them, it is totally up to them. They have choices. If the only way they will learn is to get burned badly then they are the ones who will have to make that ultimate decision.

They can keep right on getting burned or take the plunge and do it up right. Due diligence begins with who you are NOT who they are.

To your success
