How To Avoid Internet Scams: 10 Top Tips When Purchasing Internet Marketing Courses

A very good bunch of advice from a content marketer. Before buying any online course, be sure to do the following:

1. Do a Google / Yahoo search of the course instructor or course company - to see if there are any bad reviews or feedback. Use all search terms possible, such as 'xxx scam', 'xxx course', 'xxx internet scam' (e.g. Chris Blair scam, Phil Kyprianou scam). No information does not mean that he has no bad feedback, it could maybe mean that he has paid people to remove them.
2. If there are any relevant forums, check and ask around about the credibility of the course instructor. Nowadays, there are many pseudo-experts out there all wanting a piece of the pie.
3. Check if the course you have is also online free, most likely it will be. [On YouTube or Udemy].
4. Check how many other courses the course instructor has - the more he has, likely he is in this for the long term.
5. Check how long this course instructor has been in operation. The longer, the better.
6. Check if he has an official website that is done professionally. If he has just a one-page sales page, beware.
7. Check whether this instructor also has a full time job - if so, likely he is only doing the course part-time, and not that successful (yet).
8. Check that the sales page of the course instructor looks credible, and that he also have some credible social media accounts such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter etc.
9. Email him about the course, and see how long you get a response. If it takes more than 10 days, it is very likely you will also get that kind of support after you buy his course.
10. Check any testimonials online that he has - real ones. You can likely tell real ones from fake ones from the languages. Scripted ones all move in the same direction.
