Article Body:
Marketing to other marketers to make it easier to make money is great but many of the buyers never use the products and just try to pawn them off on other marketers.  So you wind up with all these people selling scripts, programs, eBooks, and more to other online marketers and they profess how great they are without ever using them.  They are just trying to make a buck as an affiliate of someone else's idea.

I am all for new marketing ideas especially the ones that automate tedious tasks.  I love submitting articles and use an auto submitter.  RSS feeds provide news to my sites.  Automatically creating links to Clickbank items based on keywords in my blogs is a godsend.

But, to me, if people don’t use these products and just pimp them to others, they are missing out on the long term benefits for a quick buck.

I admit that I have done this in the past and may do it again in the future – but – I only sell products that I actually use and approve.  That way I can actually vouch for them since I have used them and can speak from personal experience.

Personally, I prefer to market to the average Internet Joe.  I market to people who are looking for a deal on a credit card (and I use a super script to keep my site current).  I recommend hotels in Thailand and can speak from first-hand experience.  I post links to hotels in Thailand forums and also have 6 Thai affiliate hotel sites.

I also write articles about Thailand and list my hotel affiliate links in the author's resource box.  These are pretty easy to write since I have been traveling to Thailand for over 30 years.

I also write the occasional marketing or credit article to get some traffic to those sites.  I have about 10 article sites and advertise on those sites that others submit their articles to.

I would rather make a few bucks marketing a product to people who are actually going to use it instead of marketing to someone who is only going to try to sell it to someone else.

All of this is just my personal opinion.  There is nothing morally wrong or illegal of marketing to marketers.  I use many of the items that are up for sale, especially those that make my life a little bit easier.

The one thing that I do object to is the folks that market to others and make false or misleading statements indicating that they use the product and how wonderful it is when they have never used it and just want to make a buck.

Anyhow, keep coming up with all those great products that marketers can use to make our lives easier.  Just market them honestly.
