Because I am heavily involved in the online world, i am very suspcious of affillite programs and consultents/programers you find online.
There is not so much as a tall tail sign, as much as it is, doing your due dilligence and making sure you dont sign up to the first thing that comes along, its important if you do not want to be scammed thaty you are alert and street savvy.
I totally agree with stevebooth. I see so many people hustling ebooks or things like "make 500.00 a day on google within 30 days" or buy my ebook ill show you how to make tons of cash. Most people just want the easy fix and do not want to work hard.
But i agree, to sucede you have to work harder then your competition.
Offering too much but demanding less. Negative reviews. No information about the exact location Over smartness and giving less account of the nature of their business.
heh unless their techniques is to advertise online and make 500 bux a day with suckers signing up, then when you sign up they just tell you to do what they did.
Nowadays there are some really easy to use free tools that can quickly confirm your suspicions about possible scams.
For example, the Tineye reverse image search engine can quickly show that the photo of an alleged testmonial actually came from a stock image site.
And CopyScape can be used to show the same testimonials across different types of products.
There are also more sophisticated tools like Robtex and domaintools that can be used to reveal things like review sites that are actually owned by the creator of a product being reviewed.
