Why You Should Take Care When Providing Information Online. by @amoakdaniel
Friends, greetings. I hope everything is going well for everyone. I am delighted to share this useful information with you. In this article, you will learn:
How other marketers are victimized
How online-job hunters are exploited
Obtaining personal information from online users is one of the most significant jobs that internet marketers can accomplish. The more information they can obtain from individuals all around the world, the greater their earning potential.
The premise is the same for get-rich-quick experts. It's one of the reasons you shouldn't give up your personal information too quickly. Even outside of the realm of internet frauds, there is a marketing technique known as "Boiler Rooms."
Companies in this category are built with one goal in mind: to collect leads, process them, and turn them into a commodity. Workers within the company are given a set of scripts to read repeatedly as they deal with people, persuade them to buy the company's services, and, whenever possible, exploit them for whatever financial gain can be derived from them.
How other marketers are victimized
By sending them an email that typically starts with "Hello," some online boiler rooms would try to sell bloggers and website owners on their services. You have created a very good website, but our company has noticed that it is not receiving the number of visitors that it should. If you want, we can help you increase your traffic so you can have more viewers."
The discussion would continue. When boiler room personnel detects any interest or desperation on the client's behalf, a torrent of unprincipled methods is released. Aggressive selling, like in MLMs and pyramid scams, is undeniably noticeable.
The boiler room staff will deal with the client exactly as the script instructs, which will speak a lot about the earning potential but not so much about how to achieve those earnings. It is because explaining too much about the money-making process will lead to the client determining that the entire thing is a scam or that it will be extremely difficult, or the client will lose interest and turn away.
When a client asks how much the company's service will cost him, the staff will respond, "We actually have a lot of marketing packages you can choose from." Let's see where we can fill you in."
That dialogue is designed to keep the client (the victim) from turning away. When the staff detects that the person on the other end of the line is about to hang up, he will do whatever it takes to keep that person on the line.
Whatever happens, the client must be convinced into biting the bait so that the scamming company can actually profit from the victim. When the client finally agrees to pay for something like $100, claiming that it's the only amount he can afford, the boiler room staff will try to push the client into paying more twice.
The latter would then add statements like, "Our lowest service category is actually priced at $200." If you can produce that amount, we can establish a more secure flow of investment because it is the best amount in which we can provide better security with our business deal."
The deal can really move forward if the staff can mix it up with additional psychological techniques that can manipulate the client, and many clients have actually fallen for that bait.
How online-job hunters are exploited
The scenario described above is only one example of how online boiler rooms exploit people. Scammers use another effective strategy in the field of online job searching. As mentioned on other pages, the best scams are those that don't look like scams, and there are some online companies that are particularly adept at pulling this off.
Some scammers will even launch a web portal just to obtain people's contact information as well as data that can reveal their habits. Some online job-searching websites exist solely to force people to enter their personal information so that scammers can profit from them.
For example, you might come across a Facebook ad that says, "COVID-19 has taken away a lot of people's livelihood." Learn how to be productive in the midst of the world's current crisis."
If you lost your job as a result of the COVID pandemic, you may be tempted to click on the ad, It will allow you to select from a choice of potential work-from-home jobs. You may then be prompted to enter your e-mail address or phone number.
The next thing you know, or may not notice right away, is that you have a slew of spam emails from your inbox or social messenger apps urging you to visit some websites that can allegedly improve your way of life.
You've just been duped into assisting a fraudulent website in increasing its viewership without even realizing it. You were supposed to look for work, but you've been duped into participating in some extremely greedy online marketing strategy.
This is not to say that all online marketers who do this are scammers. Sure, there are marketers who use clickbait and attention-grabbing media to get our attention. However, if you visit their blogs or video channels, you will find some useful information that can help you get the job you want.
Unfortunately, there aren't many online content providers who do this. Consider this ratio and percentage: for every ten online marketing ads you see on the web, only three of them can truly help you.
It could even be less at times if you are picky about the type of job or method you want to pursue. To avoid becoming a victim of online job scammers, simply focus on your goals and make a decision based on logic and rational thought. It may slow you down a little, but it will definitely keep you from falling into the traps that are set out ahead of you.
