Poll Analysis 5

For this week the poll question of the blog was "How much do you trust Internet Marketers?" This question was ideal to be asked after the article on the founder of E-bay, how many people do have faith in purchasing via the online. Total of 10 people took part in this poll and 4 of them does not believe in doing business with internet marketers as they believe most of the people doing such business are there just to steal their money in the first place. 3 people does believe in Internet Marketers but at the same time they know they have been lied before, they feel that doing such business would help them in their hectic lifestyle and its very convenient as well.

The other remaining 3 still clueless on what is Internet Marketers is, which makes me wonder  how much people do trust in online marketers. Conclusion for this poll is that people are still sceptical about this Internet Marketers and would take some time for it to gain trust from them with all the negative reviews people are getting it is not a surprise for me.
