There is a jungle called www.
61DON'T GET LOST - GET HELP!!
IT IS SOOO EASY TO GET LOST.....
Anyone who has been having a hard time making it out there in the cruel World Wide Web - you have my sympathy. I would like to lend a helping hand, so here goes!
I have also been trying for a long time, and things are starting to come together now, so I would like to share my experience with you.
I knew how a computer worked...well most of it... but I knew nothing about Marketing on the internet.
I went all out and bought a "Guaranteed success or your Money Back" program which in actual fact was way beyond my financial capabilities, but...what the heck. It is guaranteed to work, so I will make my money back in a jiffy. Well! tell me a better joke.
Firstly...there were hidden costs which I could ill afford, but, I had spent such a lot on the program, I had to carry on, and make a success. I followed their instructions...to the letter...without earning a single cent! After a couple of months I saw this same program advertised at a reduced price, 50% less than I paid for it. I was not charmed, to say the least.
After six months, I made a summary of everything I had done, where I had advertised etc, and sent this to them with a request for a refund. I received their reply with a request of details of what I had done.....wakey, wakey! That was included in my request for a refund , so I wrote back and told them so. Their reply to me was an offer of another "bonus package" of programs I can also use to earn money...No charge. This was normally sold for..... (X amount.)
Guess what! these programs were included free with the original package I received, and all but 2 of them were not "do-able" in my country. The other 2 I tried before I asked for my money back. Another email to them explaining IN DATAIL what I experienced and again asked for a refund. Believe it or not... another request from them to supply them with details of what I had done....where I had advertised etc. This convinced me that they never even read the letters I had been sending them. They had an autoresponder receiving their mail, and sending automated messages back. This was more that a year ago, and I never saw one cent refunded.
Now I am a lot more "Internet wise" and nobody is going to catch me like that again. I am very wary of these "Money Back" guarantees.
As the saying goes...once bitten, twice shy.
Instead, from time to time, I will be sharing my knowledge I have gained with others who need to learn more about this jungle called WWW....
