Internet marketers live on global networks, hiding in dark niches, and hoping to fall into the trap of innocent users who fall victim to their talents. They offer guarantees that they know you're too lazy, promises that even an authorized agent can't make, and prices that always seem above what any sane person would pay.
It is very easy to lose a lot of money to these people and it is often difficult to get it back even after the "guarantee" process. So how do you know if the product you're looking for is a good one?
The only real answer is word of mouth. Before you buy, do some product research and see what other people have to say. Ratings, comments, opinions, complaints ... you have to see them all. This may be annoying, but it's worth it.
Dangerous Use of Abbreviations - Too many "review" sites are trading partners hoping to convince you to buy from their website and hoping to take advantage of a good user experience soon. You can tell these people that they have almost no problems with their product - and only rate one product (or a group of closely related products) at a time.
Customer experience statistics
It's best to find a website that categorizes broad product groups, isn't afraid to distinguish the good from the bad, and deviates from bold graphics, bold titles, and other sales signs.
There are a few tricks you can use to keep it working if you can't find an honest review site. If you are considering buying a digital product and want to know if it is a good product or not, here is the list:
DO: Google for the product name in quotes and the following: "inurl:forum". This will take you to a forum (message board) where you can (usually) get honest feedback about the product of your choice.
DO: Google for the product name in plus quotes: "+ waste". Of all the words people often use to describe bad business, "junk" is one word that traders rarely use. Criticism is another good thing.
YES: Check out the money back guarantee for most of these products. The default is 60 days - but that's not the important part. The important part is: will the product have a real effect in those 60 days? If you are not provided with a labor guarantee within 2 months, this guarantee does not apply.
NO: Google for product names and any of the following terms: cheat, suck, work, work, review, argue, comment, or the plural or gerund of those words. These are all the words of marketers who deliberately create their headlines to tempt you.
NO: Buy *anything* that has more than two similar "reviews" on the first two pages of Google. This is a product sold through marketing, not real efficiency.
