Highly Suspicious of “Incredible Discoveries” $75,000 Fee

I had my final phone discussion with the folks with “Incredible Discoveries“.  It was a cordial discussion but my antenna was on and up high.

I did some Google research about “Incredible Discoveries” allegedly owned by Mark Alfieri since my first posting but I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt.  I had also done some independent research on Google regarding the infomercial business and possible scams.

I repeatedly said that I really couldn’t see my products being in an infomercial but the guy I spoke to persisted, although he was polite.

In any case, I’ve had the benefit of knowing a couple of people who have done infomercials in years past and they never paid any fee.  They also had mixed results.  If someone believes in your product enough, I believe they will generally front production costs.

When the $75,000 fee was brought up, I knew the phone call was going to end very soon.  It was time to end the conversation.  I did tell them the truth regarding how I don’t trust most infomercial companies and I don’t see my products being sold by them.  It was pointless to talk anymore.

I am sure there are many uninformed entrepreneurs who so desperately want to sell their product by TV, they are willing to mortgage their house to do it.  I believe I can put to use my $75,000 much better than they can.

I would say to anyone before you fork over any large amount of money to a faceless person working for a company with a pretty website, you should check things out very carefully.  I am not accusing “Incredible Discoveries” of any wrong-doing because I do not know.  But I know when to cool my heels because I believe there is an abundance of opportunity in the world.  And I cannot see myself forking over $75,000 to anyone without my having a great deal of assurances and control.

Fair or not, I am staying far away from any company claiming to do infomercials.  It may be extreme and I may be throwing out the baby with the bathwater.  But it is the safe thing for me to do.  I need to keep my credibility high and not go down this very “icky” road.

I have no intentions of spending any more time talking to “Incredible Discoveries“.  They were polite and cordial and it was enlightening.  But they simply tried to sell a guy who really doesn’t care to be part of the infomercial industry.

For me, there are lots of ways to get on TV without going down that road.
