The main point we are trying to get across to you aussiebares is that you can't really tell if a site is honest and going to abide by what they are claiming just by looking at the advertisements and banners and security seals that they plaster on their sites....
All of these things are just 'FLUFF' to sweeten the bait...
I myself like Jimmy, have spent thousands of dollars on all types of programs and website memberships trying to improve our business and learn more ways to do business....Do you want to know where I learned from the most???
It was from my mistakes...Plain and simple...We all make them, wether it be getting ripped off by scam sites and bad sellers, or just a bad decision on our own part....What you have to do is to learn from that mistake and try not to make it again....Turn it into a positive by moving on ahead and learning from it....And don't be afraid to make mistakes, because if you are not making mistakes, then you are probably not doing anything at all....
And if you wish to be successful, the copy success.....By this I mean to look around and find sellers and sites that are successful and try and copy those methods...I'm am not saying copy as in steal their info and details, I'm saying learn how they do business and what types of products and advertising and promotions that they use and then try and incorporate that into your businesses...
But back to the main point is that gaining information about websites and sellers is what this community forum is all about. Everyone is here to help other members and that is what makes this site unique among all the other site forums on the web..
Always come in and ask first, BEFORE you buy, or do business with an unknown site...It will save you a lot of headaches and a ton of money.....
Too, I have posted a list of 'SCAM ALERT' sites in this forum many times, they are an excellent source for info on any site that you might want to do business with and you should take a couple of minutes and check with a couple of them before you make a decision on wether or not to do business with any company.....
