After purchasing something online, we all are faced with those pesky “one time offers” that suddenly pop up on the screen. Some are very tempting and the “one time only” nature of a terrific offer will often compell one to buy.

Here’s a simple tip I use when faced with such an offer. I just bookmark the pesky “one time offer” with my Google bookmark. That way I can take all the time I need to decide if I want it, then return to the offer page when I’m good and ready. The “one time only offer” sits patiently in my Google bookmarks waiting for my decision.

Your right on target here. Yes I buy products, I think you need to if you plan to make and sell your own! I recently bought, Mike Filsaime’s “Butterfly Marketing” 2.0. This program is worth every penny and I will be working it for at least 60-90 days before I even look at anything else. DVD’s Audio, hard copy’s, install scripts, bonus, the hole nine yards plus a bunch of up sells but I said no to those.

I think it ok to buy but you got to have a need for the program. Make sure not to fall in to the keep buying trap which many do and then they never accomplish anything. There must be some doing actually a whole lot of doing in this business. Good pay programs are usually a little better structured then the free stuff.

Your got some great advice above. Don’t buy on a whim I like that one. If you do buy or better yet before you buy set a goal for yourself as to what your planing to accomplish with this product or purchase. I have a rule one program at a time and you must complete it or get your money’s worth out of it before you can move to something else.

I especially like those that say 1 day only or you only have 15 min to buy. Truth is that is not true. Just be aware they are trying to make money just like the rest of us but sometimes they hype up the content.

Lately, my favorite is the Jeff Walker program that he had a bunch of his internet friends hype up (cough cough Jason Van Orden) and they start playing the Robert Cialdini tactics on you by making you wait for it to come back onto the market. Then when it does come back on the market for $1700+ dollars, they take it down immediately withing 24hours thus playing another Cialdini tactic of Scarcity on buyers. To me, I will never buy even the best products under such conditions, even if it is the best product in the world 24 hour window to make a $1,700+ decision, please give me a break

CAVEAT EMPTOR

I do believe thought that there is great systems out there and I have bought a few but I have also bought a few duds from some pretty well thought of names in the Internet Marketing World so “Let the Buyer Beware.” Do your homework! Don’t be afraid to go back on these guys once you receive their “System” and it is not what you thought it to be, send it back (in a reasonable 2 to 5 days) they all have gurantees get your money back.

My final thought is the old adage that was around about 20 years ago but then came back in the most recent boom was — “If You Want to Make Money In Real Estate, Write a Book About it!.” I very much feel that that is the case in Internet Marketing right now so yes I will say it…”Want to Make Money In Internet Marketing, Write A Book or Create a System About it!”

It absolutely tears you in all sorts of directions when you try and do them all. I have found that I get so much more done and make more money when I focus on one system and go with it.

Find a business model/niche and style that you like and build your business around that. If not, you will be constantly chasing your tail if every week you are trying some new thing.
