Phony Review Sites Hurt Legitimate Businesses

Phoney Review Sites – #1 Ways Not to Get Burned!

Phoney Review Sites – Don’t get burned or scammed by them!

Phoney review sites hurt a lot of people. If the headline got your attention, let us know in the comments!  Perhaps you’ve had an unfortunate experience with one of these sites, yourself.  Let us know and help us all.

The problem with phoney – aka fake –  review sites is twofold.

First, they directly harm legitimate businesses.

Secondly, they leave people wondering who they can trust.

How do phoney review sites work?Phoney review sites

Let’s take a look at how phoney review sites work, as opposed to sites that legitimately rate and rank the trustworthiness of online businesses.

What I refer to as “phoney review sites” are sites that let anyone offer a review without any checks and balances. They may have been created with a desire to help consumers and legitimate businesses, but without checks and balances in place, including monitoring and a dedicated support system, they will rapidly descend to the level of a place where people with an ax to grind destroy good people and businesses.  They become little more than “sleight of hand,” a trick used, often maliciously, to skew the real value of a website or business.Read More »Phoney Review Sites – #1 Ways Not to Get Burned!

Corporate bullies in their ivory towers

When the Corporate Bullies Cry Foul

When the big corporate bullies cry foul over something you’re doing or selling, you and I, the little guy, don’t stand a chance.  Have you had this experience?  (Tell us about it in the comment section!)

I found this out several times during my years of selling on eBay.
Overall, selling on eBay was a pretty good experience, although I don’t do much of it any more. Their support staff was pretty good to me. They always went as far as they sometimes dared to help me.

But then there’s Amazon…

Amazon wasn’t nearly as helpful. Their service was so bad that I stopped selling on that platform. It wasn’t that their staff wasn’t nice. They were very nice, including the ones in China where their software error routed me for months, as they tried their best to understand and be understood. (They understand English much better than I understand Chinese, but that’s not saying much…)
What I found as a seller is that, first of all, it’s really difficult to sell anything if you’re not using a big platform with lots of traffic. Secondly, even the largest platforms like eBay cower before the really big multinationals (like the guys who sell the really, really popular and expensive smartphone, who are the biggest corporate bullies of all).

Autoresponders Automate Advertising

Autoresponders Automate Advertising. Okay… but what are they and how do I use them?

Autoresponders automate advertising.  Were you aware of that?  That is a fact that could make a huge difference to your online business, while freeing up a lot of time you may have been spending doing what they do.

What is an autoresponder?  The simple definition is:  An autoresponder is a tool that automatically sends out email messages according to the parameters programmed into it.

Don’t be afraid

If the description sounds a little technical, fear not. Unless you’re a die-hard techie with lots of time, you’ll use an autoresponder system that’s already set up. The simplest one you’ll ever use is the one that comes with your email program.

While you can use it to send ads to everyone who emails you (which is a terrible idea), it would normally be used to acknowledge receipt of a message when you’re not there to read or answer it (commonly called a Vacation Response).

All you do is type in the message you want to be sent out, save it, and you’re done. Once you turn it on, it sends out your message to anyone who sends an email to you at that address.Read More »Autoresponders Automate Advertising
