Rayner Teo once said that,

Trading the Forex market may be easy, at the same time it can also turn into a nightmare.

Why? 🤔

Because when you are trading the market with a real account and of course which contains your real investment (that maybe you’ve gathered from a lot of sweating and hard work) there are a lot of factors to look out for. Such as,

Often your emotions take over you.

You suffer to make decisions due to psychological effects.

And that’s not even the BIGGER picture.

There is a very specified error that is causing havoc to the online trading industry. I’m sure that you’re aware of my claims. Don’t you?

Let me clarify it to you, “ I’m talking about Forex scammers “. And tell me, “Are you a victim too”? Not gonna lie, it is becoming a WILD DISEASE man!

Various people with low and cheap mentality are doing this sort of disgraceful work and I think all of you guys know the reflexive action of their work.

And let me tell you that I’ll be shedding a light on a few types of scams that are seen quite often these days. My only hope is that you might get the idea of scamming by reading this.

So, that being said, Let’s fight together.

But before all the fuss. You might be wondering how you’re gonna identify a certain appearance whether it is a scam or not. From that perspective metaphorically speaking, there are few certain things that can help you examine the scams.

Here is the ABSOLUTE procedure-

The first thing you wanna look out for is certain commitments like “Guaranteed Profits”.

I mean let’s be honest here, the Foreign exchange market is HUGELY volatile and due to that circumstance, not even the BEST market trader can guarantee 100% profits. So, don’t fall into this wicked trap.

Moving on, the next important thing that you should always remember that scammers don’t oblige with authority.

Feeling a little dizzy? I understand!

In simple words, what I’m trying to say is, it is a wise choice to avoid all the aspects that don’t come up with the regulatory license. There are some unregulated brokers who possess quite a reputation”.

You know what I totally agree with you. That’s the reason I specifically said it is a wise decision to avoid them not to use them. Hope you’ve understood.

Now, let’s get ourselves with some ongoing Forex trading scams.

-Forex Trading Scams Using Robots

-The revolution of technology was meant to be the solution to every problem, Alas! It’s now the center of numerous scamming acts.

Also in the Forex Industry, There is no exception to it. Moving on, the Forex robots were created using algorithms or computer codes whatever you may call them. And there is another important thing that you should know is “Not All Robots Are Scam”.

And, trust me, I mean it!

There are some trading robots that hold quite a reputation due to the feedback of their users. Also, you can get access to an effective trading robot if you do enough digging.

Now you might be wondering, “How the hell I’m gonna find an effective trading robot because almost 80% of them are just myths”. If that is the problem, then I might know the solution.

Forex Scammer Offers Guaranteed Profits

We often encounter several commitments such as a robot providing 100% guaranteed profits. Let just be clear, I’m not saying that this is impossible but from my point of view rather unusual.

And like I’ve mentioned earlier always try to ignore these sorts of appearances. Because from my perspective that’s a wise move otherwise you may end up losing BIG time.

Again, these sorts of greedy offers may tempt your mind but don’t forget to check the statistics. The profits may be fabricated as a delusion. Think about that for a moment!

Don’t fall for their marketing tactics. Scammers will do anything to make you believe that they are not a myth and that’s the primary symptom that will help you to find out whether they are a scammer or not.

So, the moral is: If anyone tries their heart out to convince you then simply just ignore them.

On the other hand, if they show you the statistics of their trading history then you might consider them. Because the numbers don’t lie, do they?

Signal Seller Scams

Scamming using a trading signal as a metaphor is happening quite often these days. Rather, it has become a daily life schedule for scammers.

And I bet you already know enough regarding the Forex signal providers so I’m not pulling an in-depth conversation regarding it.

But if you’re a freshman then you should know that the Maximum number of signal providers are individual traders and they provide several market predictions.

Again, it’s not an easy task, you’ve to be ABSOLUTELY tremendous with the charts and the timeframes.

Also, a signal provider always stays up to date with the latest economic and political affairs. Speaking of signal providers, there is something that you should know. Which is what?

Now, let’s showcase a few sorts of signal scamming factors. Here are they:

Signal Charges: This signal charge is something that you’ve to pay in order to access the market predictions that a provider supplies you.

And they show you their tremendous results to motivate you with a definite purpose that you may buy them. And often the signal turns out otherwise and you end up losing money.

Broker Related Signals: This sort of scams are quite rare to see but for your kind information you should know that it still exists. Some of you might be wondering, “what the heck is he talking about?”

Well, this the brief explanation: Broker-related or broker-tied signal means you’ve to actually register with a brokerage company in order to get certain market predictions from an individual signal provider.

Sound relatable?

Moving on, in this procedure the signal provider benefits from both ways and which obviously includes you and the brokerage company as they give some percentage to him. And from numerous market geniuses’ point of view, this is actually illegal.

Trading Scams Through Phone Calls

I think many of us are familiar with these sorts of scams. For those who still haven’t faced this, you guys should know that there are few tricky people out there who will sell their service thoroughly by calling you.

They are experts in this field, so they will tell you mind-boggling stories if you invest with them. Some of them might sound like-

-If you invest with us, you’ll be rich in 7 days

-Invest with us and double your money in 3 days

-Invest and become a millionaire in under 30 days.

I mean like seriously! Lol!

For your own safety if you encounter something like this, simply just ignore it. Trust me, it’s for your betterment and you’ll thank me later for this.

So, these are some of the examples of scams that are often happening around us simultaneously.

And also it’s quite sad but true that people are really buying this sort of scams. We all need to avoid it.

But how?

Well, first of all, you’ve to be ABSOLUTELY patient while making the decisions. Don’t rush in anything, it doesn’t end well, and history says it all.

One of the primary things that you should always live by is learning to check the backgrounds. Uncover the truth, it’s a good habit.

Again, if the offer is very tempting then ask yourself a few questions while making a decision. Such as-

-What’ll be your approach when you don’t think the offer is made for you?

-How obligatory the contract is?

-Is the Broker or service provider giving you enough contract info about them?

-Do they have a business address that is verified by other customers?

-Is the company registered by maintaining absolute authority?

-Do they give you their background info and recent performance stats?

Communicators have become lazy and cheap. When a new message is upon them, or when the last message did not attain the desired reach, the modern communicator can, unfortunately, be heard mumbling under their breath “we’ll just put it up on Facebook.” There is so much more to really communicating with your clients or members than just posting another post on social media.

Debt is a part of small businesses’ everyday financial reality, but unexpected events (like a pandemic or recession) can make it difficult to repay your debt on time.

“Fintech” describes the new technology integrated into various spheres to improve and automate all aspects of financial services provided to individuals and companies. Initially, this word was used for the tech behind the back-end systems of big banks and other organizations. And now it covers a wide specter of finance-related innovations in multiple industries, from education to crypto-currencies and investment management.

If you talked about starting a business with a small budget in the early 00s, people would say that you are crazy! But today, most startup businesses including solopreneurs are able to make million dollars with just a small investment thanks to the emergence of no-code tools.

The world is obsessed with videos currently. Whether you waste too much time watching silly Tik Tok videos that make you laugh or watch ‘how to’ videos on YouTube to help you fix a problem at home, we are all watching videos on a daily basis. I don’t have the latest statistics for 2020 but I can only assume that with everyone in Lockdown for at least part of the year, streaming videos will have increased yet again.

The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 and its rapid spread worldwide has changed the way we work perhaps permanently.

In business, being the trusted authority in your space is the best way to earn your customers’ trust. Or is it the other way around? Do you become an authority in your space by earning the trust of your customers and clients over time?

Authority, clout, credibility — the immediately earned trust of a customer through purely social indicators is one of the most sought after statuses as a brand or a business. To understand how to earn authority and trust, we must understand the two types of authority that matter the most in the 20th century and utilize them for maximum success.

The word authority, the way I mean it, is defined as a person or organization having power or control in a particular, typically political or administrative, sphere.

So how do we, as businesses or personal brands earn our share of power in our sphere? How do we become thought leaders and demonstrate thought leadership and credibility?

By understanding the two types of authority that help reach your customers: algorithmic authority and social authority.

Algorithmic authority

In relation to social networks and media, algorithmic authority is the ability to be seen by your audience, organically or paid. Algorithms are complicated. They are the most innovative and newest pieces of digital infrastructure that run society.

Algorithms are made to entice us, to buy our attention with a never-ending promise. If you keep scrolling, eventually you’ll see something different, and eventually, what you see will please you, capture your attention and entertain you.

Authority has been gamified. We must understand that authority in relation to algorithms is vitally important for a business to succeed. Your ability to show up in front of your ideal customer or clients’ eyes is the first step in your marketing funnel. Understanding how to speak to them and getting your messaging right will be next in the steps. But before you set out to make a marketing plan, it’s important to understand which algorithms are necessary to target and how to utilize them in order to gain algorithmic authority.

If you spend any time on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, or a number of other social networks run by these complicated algorithms, you probably have a certain friend or set of friends that you always see. Oftentimes you’ll likely see this person first on your feed very frequently when they’ve posted. There are likely people you rarely hear from or find that you’re distant from without necessarily wanting to be. Unfortunately, because it’s a social network, the algorithms are now dictating our social networks and who we see.

The algorithms’ intent is to show you the most entertaining or relevant information. Let’s look at google, it’s intent is to deliver the most valuable, relevant, and clear answer, as fast as it possibly can. So its intentions here are not to draw you away from the things you want to be connected to, it’s merely predicting, hypothesizing what you may enjoy, and placing it at the top of the SERP (Search Engine Results Page).

On the other hand, you have Facebook, whose intent is as follows:

“Facebook’s mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. People use Facebook to stay connected with friends and family, to discover what’s going on in the world, and to share and express what matters to them.”

Facebook uses its algorithm to show you what other people you call friends are up to.

And then there’s the monetary side of the algorithm. How does Facebook or Google make money? Advertising.

So in order to show you advertisements they have to have an extremely valuable free service offering. Have you ever thought about this? The main function of Google is free. Billions of cross-referenced pages in milliseconds.

Facebook runs a digital infrastructure of billions of profiles and hundreds of millions of businesses. All for free for its users. Well seemingly for free, data and the real estate that captures the users’ attention are now for rent.

So you can spend a ton of money on advertising, and you should, but you should also know how to grow an organic following and create/drive traffic organically without spending a dime. And this is what algorithmic authority is.

The potential to go viral and be seen by millions of people. This is predicated on a number of things but you can boil it down to a couple of key characteristics:

Highly entertaining

Relevant

Shocking/different/incites curiosity

Has an exponentially accelerating viewership over a short period of time

Informative or controversial

Often funny or highly emotionally invoking

But these videos generally don’t go viral after the first one, it’s a process of building your audience and learning how to use algorithmic authority to show up in front of your ideal clients and customers with relevant information.

Each algorithm has a different set of variables by which you earn algorithmic authority. Like Google, and the factors involved in SEO and ranking #1. Even though Google and YouTube are owned by the same company, the algorithms that govern them are slightly different.

Same with Instagram and Facebook, even though they’re owned by the same company, the algorithms that govern how much you get seen and whether by your followers or by people who don’t follow you are different between each platform.

In order to see success with algorithmic authority, you must understand which algorithm to start with and go all-in on that one. Build one following on one algorithm, start with the one that makes the most sense, and build it up once you’ve built a following on one social network, the practice of building a following on another becomes a lot easier. Not only do you understand how to build a following, you know what content works and how grueling the process is…

Utilize algorithmic authority to reach your ideal customers, understand best practices, and go all-in on playing the games of the algorithm.

Social authority

Social Authority is the instantaneous trust the consumer gives to people that they find ultra credible. If you want to know the best roofer in town you might look it up on Google, this is where algorithmic authority comes in, you might call your neighbors who just got a new roof put on and ask how their experience was. Or you might call your friend who’s a general contractor and ask him who the best and most affordable roofer is in town.

Depending on what answers you get you’d have a large amount of confidence in your choices or you’d have a little. This is based on social authority or the amount of credibility that you earn based on your branding and brand authority, your website, your reviews, where you’ve been featured in magazines or what awards you’ve won, what your friend and family might say about their experiences and any other cues that might convince a customer to trust that you’re going to fulfill your brand promise.

Social authority is built from your very first customer and pours out into every piece of every customer journey or experience. I remember being at an event in Las Vegas watching speakers at a conference… I’m not sure who said it but the crew was an all-star line-up. Billionaire Naveen Jain and others were there and someone said, “You’re either building your legacy or destroying it,” and I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. You’re either building your legacy and social authority or destroying it and you need to ensure you’re building it up every step of the way.

It’s imperative that every piece of the customer journey creates a positive customer experience so when you go to ask for a review of their experience, not only was it over and above anything they ever expected, but they want to tell their friends anytime they are asked about the experience they had with you.

Social authority is built through powerful branding, a brand promise that is more than fulfilled with style and grace, raving fans, great reviews, and building your credibility in the social purview. It can look like being featured in Entrepreneur, it can look like 10’ or 100’s of 5-star reviews, it can look like a professional online digital presence, but it’s best utilized when it’s built from day one with all of the above and more.
