Default Re: Do they see you as a huckster? aka: Be careful what you glorify...

Maybe the process is a little like the political arena.

Generally, people get into it for the right reasons, but it quickly falls down and becomes the wrong reasons.

Or like the cycle of domestic violence -- where, sadly, the victim becomes a victimizer.

It's like this...

Go to the bank.

Go to the bank.

Go to the bank.

Go to the bank.

Go to the bank.

Then a (black) light bulb goes off somewhere in the brain that says...

"Hey wait a minute, maybe I can ROB the bank!"

THAT'S when the line gets crossed.

It's cranial corruption.

I think it happens a lot. The goal needs to be: Stay away from hucksters, and don't succumb to the invisible 'tug' to cross the huckster line yourself!!!

-- TW

PS: It's not just internet marketing people I'm talking about. It's any marketing person (on or off line) who's selling something or some service.

PPS: Again, without mentioning any names, in th elast few days I've seen videos from two 'gurus' in particular who the general public would IMMEDIATELY peg (CORRECTLY!) as being hucksters. But we, INSIDE the niche -- in our delusional STUPOR -- don't SEE/PERCEIVE the hucksterism. One huckster has cloaked himself as some kind of middle-aged surfer dude type. The other is LYING to the camera (in my opinion), saying, "I'll give you a $375 discount because the copies I selling at this low price are 'SCUFFED UP, DAMAGED copies (etc.). -- A ruse so old, it's pathetic. He's just desperately trying to unload the last 9 copies of his 'course.' The real world would immediately SEE that he's just some aging huckster who needs some extra cash -- right away.
