Remember that old saying from when you were a kid? Well, maybe not. I don’t think that saying has been said for about 40 years now, at least not in my neighborhood. I used to hear that all the time as a kid. I didn’t always listen to the advice, like when my mom caught me with my hands all full of powdered sugar and wanted to know where I just was. That’s probably why she stopped baking LOL. Well, when it comes to Internet marketing, though not everybody practices it, honesty really IS the best policy. I’m going to explain why in this article.

Let’s take this as an example. You get an email from a prospect about your product. They want to know if it’s really going to help them do whatever they want to do. They then go into some limitations that they have such as money or skills and you realize that your product probably won’t help them. What do you do? Do you tell them the truth? Or, do you dance around the issue and give them the standard “sales pitch” response? If you do, here is what’s going to happen.

The prospect is going to purchase the product, try to use it, realize that because of the limitations that they specifically expressed to you, they can’t use it. They then write to you and request a refund. Or, worse than that, they put in a chargeback to their bank. And let me tell you, if your product is registered with Clickbank, chargebacks are a killer. They will end up raising your withholding. So in the long run, not being honest with the prospect is only going to come back to bite you on the backside.

I could go on and on and give you a ton of examples, but I think you get the point. By not being honest with your prospects, you risk ruining your reputation. When that happens, guess what? The word will get around and people who might have otherwise purchased one of your products will end up staying away from you. I have seen way too many reputations destroyed by lies.

So like mom used to say…honesty IS the best policy.

To YOUR Success,
