    Hello


    I've noticed in these days that people are buying some stupid products.Mainly, there's no secrets to get on top in Google, also, no secrets to make money from adsense or aff marketing!!
    I was 16 years old and made a successful campaign with google adwords without getting slapped or anything bad.

    That's the question?
    Why some bad people are making myths to cheat people?
    And why people buys some stupid products ?

    If i'm going to produce a product, i will price it for about 30$ at most.Not 97$ or 1799$ and such prices!

    Can anyone answer me ?

    I agree with you as far as the 'secret' thing is concerned. There are no secrets.

    However, any information that can help someone jumpstart is useful information and if the provider wants to be paid for it, (s)he is within rights. As for the price, it wouldn't be fair to generalize and state a uniform price for everything that is an info product.

    it depends on the product. Not ALL info products are stupid. There are plenty of very useful forums / info sites that work on subscriptions and are well worth the money. Just do your research.

    Well maybe there is no "secrets" but there are tips and tricks which aint public. So you must buy it :) Maybe thats why people buy "How to make money with adsense" ebooks.

    People buy because of HOPE FANTASY or FEAR

    The reality is...as long as there are SO many people online trying to figure out how to make money, there will be never ending potential to sell based on this formula.

    I prefer selling real products and advice the really works. There is a lot of trash out there and a lot of money made selling it.

    Making money on the internet is same as losing weight. People buy products hoping they will help them earn some money. They read blogs and believe every word said, but hack, they still don't make any money, maybe because they are lazy or just poor losers. But hey, some people make big money out of this, without such losers internet guru's wouldn't exist.

    so, depotgang is right ;)

    Over a billion people have readily-available access to the internet at any one time, it's not surprising that there's a market for "selling the dream" to the gullible and desperate.

    A lot of info products out there are genuinely useful and worth the money, but when it comes to "make money on the net" e-books, the majority are either:

    absolute rubbish, or;
    repackaged free information.

    My 2 cents!

    John.

    Customers are not always using their intellect when they do shopping.
    A reason for the acquisition can be just the customer happiness.

    exactly! People that are paying hundreds of dollars for courses don't realize that 1)in most cases they won't be able to digest so much information 2)even if they are, in order to implement everything you shouldn't be "an army of one" . But what surprises me more, that people pay MUCH MORE than if they would hire somebody who already has experience and skills:eek:

    In my humble opinion, in the next following years, aff marketing will has very much competition.So, the fluff products won't be sold. Isn't that right ?

    I agree there are no secrets but if your a newbie and haven't got a clue where to begin and how to go about things then certain products can be a godsend. However I see your point, people seem to buy into the dream that doesn't exist and they end up giving up there dreams of making a living on the Internet because things aren't quite as rosy as people make out.

    i agree there are no secrets but this is an ever changing market and there is a lot of information to take in and lots of different opportunities and ways in which to make money online. There are systems out there for sale which can optomise the time you spend on projects resulting in a better ROI. The fact is each individual has to do their own dudiligence and if they are stupid enough to buy an ebook which says make a million this year then more fool them. Bit like those people who thinking if they buy a house for £250,000 this year it will be worth £500,000 next year!

    I personally think that house investments are one of the best investments you can make. So what do you mean by this ?
