By junk, I mean worthless internet marketing content.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot of theories out there that don\u2019t hold up in reality.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot of dated and obsolete techniques that don\u2019t work anymore in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot of worthless information that doesn&#8217;t bring any value to the table.<\/p>\n<p>It seems like a lot of writers write their articles and their article has no point, it\u2019s just they have a job to do and have to write something.

I stay away from content that guarantees something. I stay away from content that claims something is easy. I stay away from content where people are trying to lure you in to sell you a whitepaper. Because the purpose of their content is to sell you something.<\/p>\n<p>I tend to read articles talking about new marketing techniques or how a specific marketing technique can be effective.<\/p>\n<p>And if you&#8217;re a beginner, reading lots and lots and lots of &#8220;how to&#8221; articles can be good in getting a consensus on what most people do and what most don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For marketers trying to learn internet marketing, there\u2019s a lot of junk out there.
