A friend of mine and I were talking about some nice money deals that came his way recently and he said, “Yeah I don’t like chasing money.” I agreed. When you’re chasing money, it makes you feel kind of dirty – like an unethical lawyer chasing ambulances.

I know you’ve seen the marketers who chase money landing in your email inbox.

They promote anything and everything – site unseen – just to make a quick affiliate buck.

They tap into niches they have zero interest in and no desire to learn about – just because they heard it’s a hot niche.

They take shortcuts because they don’t care about the consumer. They spin articles using trash tools that make the end result unreadable. Why? All they care about it harnessing that keyword phrase and getting a clickout (on their link).

Can you make money chasing money? You sure can! In fact you can probably become filthy rich doing this.

But where do you draw the line? Or do you even HAVE a line?

I’m one of those people content with making less if my morality stays intact. But there are many who aren’t.

If you are having to buy from people to learn the ropes of this business, are you going to pay an ambulance chaser or someone who has your best interests at heart?

There are MANY decent marketers who teach others. They may not have the big names attached to their lessons or the fancy videos or websites, but that doesn’t mean their information is not valuable.

Some of the best people I’ve personally learned from have had no affiliation with any big names. They haven’t shoved a ClickBank check (Photoshop anyone?) in my face. They have just delivered solid content to me time and time again.

Whoever you choose to follow, make them prove themselves to you. Don’t let yourself get impressed by the luxury watch they’re wearing or the video they made from Fiji. You don’t know what they did to make that money – and if you did, you might not be as impressed.

Go on quality of their products and how they treat their customers.

Those are the only two things you need to know to choose who to follow. And once you begin leading in your niche, don’t do “whatever it takes” – do what you can do while staying true to who you are.
