Refresh Your Memory

After attending a lot of webinars hosted by @jongolson, I have heard the saying "People have a memory like a goldfish" a lot of times... :) He used it in affiliate marketing for describing some of the usual things that are happening in that industry... Something like promises of earning $10K monthly for the rest of your life if you invest only $1K on XX offer... Or, sign up here, you don't have to do anything and you will earn X amount of USD... Generally, the point is that everyone has heard about the offers like that, someone has even tried it, but still, some people believe in them...

I think that @jangle was created a similar post about these "offers" asking how people may be STILL falling on them and believe in them... The truth is that there are new people that have never heard for something like that, but on the other side, there are people that have just forgotten that they have tried EXACTLY the same thing a year ago and being burned...

But, the thing is that these "offers" are sometimes packed into different packaging and people don't RECOGNIZE the PATTERN... It is still the same bloody thing, but packed in the new design, with a couple of flowers and unusual box... But, maybe it is something different this time? Maybe it is true that I can earn these $10K monthly 'till the rest of my life without doing anything?

Can you recognize patterns when the "new thing" appears? Do you try to connect it with some similar experience in the past? These things don't appear only in the business sphere, they are everywhere...

Thank you for your valuable time,
