Hardly a week goes by that she doesn’t call me to tell me about some pain or discomfort she is feeling. I do what I can to alleviate her fears and reassure her that it’s nothing, usually telling her to just watch it and see if it gets worse.

The internet marketing hypochondriac is no different. Their perception of the industry is that it is all a scam . . . you’ll be swindled, manipulated and left for broke. No amount of reassurance can change their mind.
