In the world of Internet marketing, there are a lot of unethical money-hungry scam artists preying on those who are ignorant about the industry.  They know you’re new, and they know you won’t realize you’ve been suckered until it’s too late.

So how does a newcomer to Internet marketing safeguard his or her pockets from the greedy, self-indulgent scams of an unscrupulous marketer?  First, you want to do a bit of background research.

If you haven’t yet heard this phrase, information overload, you will soon – because it happens to the majority of new Internet marketers at some time or another.  Information overload is when you simply have too much to learn – so much that you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and more confused than before you had help.

It happens easily with this industry because there are so many options you have – an endless array of opportunity.  You can be a product owner and an affiliate at the same time.
