Hmmm…some great points. I think we have all been the ‘victim’ of somebody who is out just for the almighty buck. We sign up to their list to get a freebie, or whatever, and all we get from them is pitch after pitch after pitch. We are left with only one option.

Unsubscribe.

Hopefully there are more ‘good’ witches than ‘bad’ witches in the world.

Thanks for the info Doug.

Agreed 100%! Too many times I see people just going after the money with no care as to how it may affect other people. There are too many scams online as it is, but people will still try to take advantage of the beginners who are new to the Internet.

The big thing is to know who you are promoting and the product so you can do that. Too often it is not because people are dis-honest but that they don't do the due diligence necessary to make a recommendation. Knowing the people behind the product is key because if there are service problems for your customer you name becomes mud too. Mike Paetzold’s last blog post..Week In Review - March 14, 2009

Great post Doug. You only have one name in this business, well unless your name is really John Smith, but either way it’s the most valuable asset you have online. You must protect your name at all times and you can only do this by maintaining a high degree of integrity and ethics.

Cheers,

I try and I hope that in all of life, not just as an affiliate marketer that I am alway conscientious.

I agree that “Nobody ever really gets ahead by being dishonest.”

And in the end it ends up hurting many people.

Thanks for a good and timely post.
