How to avoid internet marketing scams

Where to start! 
Most people that have been around a computer for any length of time would have seen internet marketing scams, if you have attempted internet marketing yourself before you may well have fallen into their slick trap of getting you to part with your cash.
Everyday I take some time out to see what and who is new and I am never surprised by the claims that are being made, in actual fact after having worked hard, YES HARD, for the past 5 years I know only to well that people are falling for these get rich quick scams all the time, just check out the different forums out their and you will here the same story over and over again.

So how can you actually avoid being scammed?

First things first, and this is as basic as it really needs to be. Seriously, if something looks and sounds to good to be true guess what, IT IS, it's not a case of maybe it is, it just IS, plain and simple!
We all know (at least most of us) that Santa and the tooth fairy are not real - I know it's hard to accept but it's true, the same goes for getting rich overnight from an e-book, it just isn't real. I know we all like to believe in certain things at different times of our lives but expecting to find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow should remain firmly in fairy tales.

Do some research!
There are lots of good courses out there that will teach you what you need to know to be a successful online
marketer, virtually all of the good ones will charge you a regular (and affordable) monthly fee in exchange for knowledge and advice. If someone is claiming to make you rich beyond your wildest dreams at the click of a button (the buy now one) do something really simple and Google the slimeball, I promise you if you look past their adoring affiliates you will find that in many cases they have reinvented themselves repeatedly, that they resell their regurgitated crap over and over and there will be lots of people (just like you) telling you to stay well clear.

Do not get sucked in by special offers or money back guarantees. Over the years I have seen so many posts from people who have been suckered into a scam on the basis that they have a 60 day satisfaction or money back guarantee. If you have seen a marketing program that you think is good try and Google a phrase such as 'product name still waiting for my refund' or 'product name they will not give me my money back', you get the idea and what you will see is the links to posts from people that bought for this reason only to find that it is yet another scam.
Be realistic, if someone is happy to scam you in the first place they will have no problem in making a money back offer part of the scam, after all it lends credibility, now this does not apply to all but certainly the majority, try goggling and see what happens.

So how do you avoid being scammed?

Simple, accept the fact, and it is a fact that it takes time and effort to earn money in any business, the internet is no different. You can make a substantial income online but it is NEVER going to happen overnight - understand that and you will never get scammed online.
