Firstly, as there is so much information on the internet you need to be careful about whose advice you accept. Some people claim to be experts when in fact they have very little experience themselves yet will take money from those who are totally unaware.
This sort of thing goes on all the time both offline and online. Once they make a sale or two they decide they are going to target those who are looking to make online income. If you are experienced in the online income market and know what you are talking about then it is perfectly acceptable to be in this market. As a newcomer to the internet however, if someone does not have the credentials to back up their experience you must be careful about accepting advice from them.
If you are not sure, then this is when you need to do a little research and check out their credentials. You can do this by joining a couple of internet marketing forums and ask about them and you will find out if someone is legitimate or not.
The social networking sites offer you the opportunity to make friends and observe who is a good person to follow the advice of. Twitter is one place where you can build a list of followers and read their updates.
