We have all seen them. Hundreds of them. Ads, emails, websites.

Lies, Hype, and False Promises. What do I do with these things

I see? "Delete", "Delete", "Delete".



What are some things that turn me off, or turn my stomach?

Here is a few of them:



"I'm Not Selling Anything.......blah blah blah"

Then what are you doing advertising NOTHING. What

a waste of time.



"Make Over 1/2 Million Dollars Every 4-5 Months From

One $25.00 Investment"

This one was nothing more than the chain letters I have

received in the snail mail for years. BOO HISS!



"Offer To Good To Pas Up!"

If you can't check your spelling and put out an

error free ad, what would make me think you can

run an efficient business.



"Get Paid to Do Nothing!"

I have never received a check for doing nothing, and I

don't believe anyone out there is. You would have to do

SOMETHING. I for one would not want to be paid for something

I didn't do.



"DO THIS NOW!!! TODAY!!! HURRY!!!"

You don't have to shout. Your ad

content should put forth enough excitement

without shouting.



"This Is a Legitimate Business!"

This first liner makes me wonder if indeed

it is legal, if you have to say it is.



"Make $40,000.00 Your First 6 Months."

You must have made a fortune by now. And

you are still trying to get my 25 bucks?

Get real. You are just hoping the newbie

or real desperate will bite on this one.



"Your Downline Is Built For You! You Don't

Have To Recruit?"

Then what am I here for? I don't believe it.



"We Do Not SPAM, But We Send Out 20,000 e-mails

a day."

Sounds like Spam City to ME! I won't risk

it. I read today about a man that only used his

reply button and send his own sales letter to the

person that spammed him, and he was reported and

this site shut down without a warning. Spam is

not worth it.



You Would Be Dumb To Not Try Our Business"

Would I sign up for a business that has

already insulted my intelligence? I don't

think so.



Another thing that really turns me off is seeing

flyers tacked up on every telephone pole. I have

seen this tactic suggested, and if this is how I

would have to do business, I won't do it. I have

recently seen, in my town, 2-3 "HIRING NOW" and

"MAKE $20,000.000" on EVERY telephone pole on a very

pretty nice neighborhood. This to me is littering.

I would not even check out this business, if this

is how they have to advertise.



So just remember that the first line of your ad is

what attracts the buyers attention. It doesn't do

any good if the person hits the delete button before

he gets a chance to read the ad.
