Watch Out For Unethical Online Marketing Coaches

 There are a ton of laid off folks that are attempting to make money on the internet and join the ranks of all the self-promoters online. Many of them have never made money online themselves, but offer services coaching others on how to make money online.
Not long ago, someone contacted me from Cincinnati OH and they'd been laid off from a teaching position. So, she decided to realize her dream of becoming an online marketer, and since she has an MA degree in teaching, she believes she qualified to teach others how market themselves, develop a following, strengthen their personal brand name, and thus, make money online.
In fact, she bragged about how well she was doing "coaching" and helping people market their businesses online. This is all well and good, and yet, when asked how much money she has personally made "marketing products online" her answer goes something like this; I am just getting started. However, you see, the reason I feel this is relevant is because there are tons of coaches out there claiming to have the answer to help others market online, and yet, they haven't been successful yet at it themselves.
Do you feel such people are ethical?
Personally, I am completely disgusted with such folks. I think it is pathetic really, and I for one don't ever want to associate myself with anyone like that. Of course, many of these types of start-up online marketers say things like I have gotten instruction from the "best of the best online marketers" and I am using this to launch my business.
Who is this so-called "Best of the Best Online Marketers" and have they ever successfully marketed anything themselves or are they just successful at convincing others of their "great successes" and I must tell you, I am blown away by all the fraud out there online, and it really irks me.
Finally, I question much of the methodology of those who are marketing online. For a laid off teacher in this case, my question might go something like this; "so, you are going to use your "college education" to teach entrepreneurs in the "real world" how to make money online? Is that it? And you've made no money online yourself, and you are laid off from teaching?"
Indeed, I hope you are not duped into thinking you are going to get rich peddling trinkets online, and I hope you are ethical in your internet marketing endeavors. Please consider all this.
