If i’ve received one I’ve received them all!
Don’t you hate it when you receive a friend request on Facebook from someone you don’t know? I always think, do I know them? They seem to know me so I’ll accept the request just to find out who they are.
A day or two later, you find a private message in your inbox from this “unknown” person, claiming that they’re an Internet marketer who wants to help as many people as possible to have a better life.
I always lose interest from the moment I read “I have a proven system….”, as it’s an obvious sales pitch and is often full of links to their website. You have to wonder what kind of click through rate these messages return, not very high I’d imagine!
Sometimes I write back, slamming them for making one of the biggest mistakes anyone can make. I always start by telling them how I’d expect better from a fellow “Internet marketer”, and how they have got their whole stetegy wrong, from not identifying their target market properly through to not being “social” on a social networking site.
I then go on to advise them where they have gone wrong and what they should do to improve their strategy. The sad thing is, they never reply, which is rude for one, but they go on doing the same thing but even more appallingly!
