Sales of information products (guides, step-by-step instructions for fulfilling wishes) broke all records last year. Courses on "successful success" seem to have been released by all famous bloggers. How to figure out whether learning to make money on the Internet will be useful and not run into scammers - more on that later.

The first thing we pay attention to is authorship.If trading lectures are given by a well-known economist, financial analyst (the name is easy to google) about the basics of online trading - the owner of an online store, this is normal. If instead of specifics there is simply “a specialist in something” or “just a happy mother” (for sure, the one who earns 70 thousand while sitting with a baby on maternity leave), then you should refuse to buy such an information product.
Second, look at the description. Ideally, the information should be logical, divided into separate blocks, the format should be indicated (live or recorded video lectures, for example), and the presence of practical tasks. If instead, solid motivational slogans - the benefits of the course, most likely, will be 0.
Third, reviews. Not the same type, differing among themselves by the names of the authors and spelling errors, but expanded. In which users share their opinions on how accessible the information is presented, how convenient the training schedule is, whether the tutors promptly give feedback, check homework.
The fourth is payment. Evaluate how adequate the price is for an information product, compare it with similar ones. It is quite possible that approximately the same program can be found on the net absolutely free.
By the way, on many sites, users are promised to return the money if, for some reason, they decide to refuse training. This practice really exists, but you can return the payment within a limited time (2-3 days after activation) and minus the cost of listened, watched lectures. After passing all the webinars and lectures, no one will return the money.
If you type “online learning” into a search engine, the browser will return hundreds of results. From addresses of large schools to websites of little-known bloggers.Here are some tips on how not to lose money and not buy nonsense in a beautiful wrapper. So, it is better to refuse training if you see in the description:
A good information product will tell you not only about ways to earn money, but also about financial risks. That is, if the author promises to teach trading in a couple of lessons and directly guarantees income from the first transaction, you should immediately refuse to buy such a course.
More about trading - there are no schemes, algorithms that give a 100% guarantee of profit. If some guru convinces that he has invented a working scheme that allows you to earn up to a million a month (for more credibility and attractiveness, the amounts are usually indicated in dollars), then he is either delusional or outright lying.
A simple example - on the Alpari website there is information about working strategies, the number of graduates, but not a word about the fact that after completing the training, the user will become a millionaire.
In 70-80%. Why would a person who has done serious work on an information product give away his knowledge for nothing - no one will do charity work. And reception with discounts is the surest way to attract potential buyers.
Without links to pages in social networks (it is impossible to check whether a person bought a course or not), with the same sentences, like “after training, I went on passive income and left my main job.”
Or rather, information about how the training will take place, how many lessons there will be, in what format. If you see only advertising slogans, you definitely shouldn’t take such a course.At best, it will contain information that you can find on your own, and completely free of charge (the same ideas for making money on the Internet, such as trading on marketplaces or taking surveys for 1.5 rubles apiece). At worst, a rambling collection of motivational offers or links to online casinos or bookmakers.
And, yes, making money on the Internet, sitting somewhere on the beach with a laptop, will definitely not work. To reach a certain level of income, you will have to constantly study, improve your skills - there is no difference with offline work.
They are not - no special applications, no games. To start making money on the Internet, you need to either invest money (the same trading on marketplaces, trading), or have a profession in demand. Just downloading the application and withdrawing a certain amount to an electronic wallet every day will not work for sure.
Beautiful pictures, pop-ups informing that the course was bought by another user or loud slogans like “change your life in 3 days” are nothing more than a sales tool. Old but works great.
In the case of pop-ups, an artificial hype is created (usually the number of remaining seats is indicated along with the purchase information), plus this gives users the impression that the course is really in demand.
Loud appeals, inspiring slogans, a beautifully designed landing page, but again without any specifics. The authors of such courses talk about their incredible successes (earned a car in 2 days, attracted an audience of 100 million to their account in a month), achievements that cannot be verified.
In such courses there are obligatory blocks about the thinking of millionaires, connection with the Universe, inspiring (according to the authors) success stories. It is possible that at the final stage of training, the student, in order to consolidate the information, will be offered to launch a balloon into the sky (well, to motivate him even more).
Check social media. If you notice that the account of the author of lectures was created simultaneously with the course “how to run Instagram”, for example, draw conclusions - you won’t learn anything new. And you can learn the rules of the platform for free. There is a user agreement for this.
And most importantly, if after reading the advertisement of the course you don’t understand what exactly the author is going to teach, then you definitely don’t need to buy such training. You can see beautiful pictures, read the stories of famous, rich and successful people for free.
