The Bottom Line Of all the aspects of Internet marketing/Referral programs, the first and most important thing to learn is that if you "SPAM", you will get caught.
Before you promote your business, or begin to tell people about your business, you must first fully and completely understand the concept of "Spam" or "UCE - Unsolicited Commercial E-mail". You will often see comments like "do not spam" or "we have zero tolerance to spam". These comments are very serious. EVERY Internet Marketing/advertising company has rules regarding Spam as part of their Terms Of Service (TOS). Breaking these rules is severe and comes with it, very serious consequences. WHAT IS SPAM/UCE? Spam, believe it or not, is actually the "slang" term for UCE, or Unsolicited Commercial Email. In the current times, Spam has evolved past UCE and can now refer to ANY email that is sent without without reason or knowledge. Let's break this down in simple terms: Unsolicited - Cold Calling. Not requested. Commercial - Business, Sales, Selling, Recruiting Email - Electronic Mail or E-mail Spam is unsolicited e-mail (or newsgroup postings) pushing a point, be it an ad for a used PC, or an urge to vote on a proposition; if you didn't ask for it, didn't sign up on a mailing list related to it, and didn't leave your e-mail address on a web form asking for more information on it, it can be called spam! Have you ever experienced a tele-marketer call you during dinner asking for your help with a survey? Or maybe dinner is over and you've just begun to watch your favorite TV show. This can cause immense frustration and anger, especially when they will not leave you alone. Sending Spam or UCE is exactly the same thing as if you were the tele-marketer making that call. I DON'T SPAM. DO I? Many people on the Internet do not realise the truth about spamming... that it is a very serious offense, and has been, at times, regarded as an Internet Crime. Spamming can create a very difficult situation for the accused spammer, their business and their ISP (Internet Service Provider). Many people fall victim to spam complaints each day because they do not fully understand it. Here are 10 simple rules to follow when you advertise your business. If you do not know and understand the rules of what you are promoting... do NOT promote it. Do NOT lie in an Ad about the company or program Do NOT advertise somewhere unless that place is designed for it. Do NOT advertise unless stated you can, this goes for chat etc.. NEVER advertise or mention your business in a chatroom/group/club unless otherwise stated Do NOT mention your business to a stranger unless they ask about it. Always follow the advertising rules of a site. If you are unsure, look for an answer. If a site says "x" amount of Ads allowed per day, NEVER do more than the allowed amount. NEVER Email people you do not know with your business opportunity, unless you received those email addresses from an authorised advertising service, such as a Paid FFA service. ALWAYS use a disclaimer when advertising your site to strangers (see rule #8) Do NOT think that you wont get caught. 98% of people who send spam get reported. WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF SPAMMING? This all depends on where/how you are reported. More often than not, you will be reported to: The business opportunity & CEO of that business The hosting service that provides the webspace for the business YOUR ISP (Internet Service Provider) Consequences can range from getting a warning, through to having your business membership cancelled. On some occasions, ISP's have cancelled people's Internet Service also, meaning you would be offline completely with no access to the Internet until you joined another ISP. Follow the rules and be careful. If in doubt, ask your upline or a fellow member in your chosen program/business.  |
