Comment on Your Last Action by Michele

Michele — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 22:51:08 +0000

How about someone who make a mistake but refuse to undo his wrong? Or just because he is so sure that he will always get 2nd or 3rd chance, so he doesn’t value his interaction?
Taking customer or friendship for granted, that’s how you lose that loyalty/devotion forever.

Comment on Why Twitter won’t save your brand by Michele

I saw this number — “Of the millions of tweets created every day, 71% produce no reaction.”. And remember you wrote this post 2 years ago, so just want to append and agree to your foresight.

Thirty-five percent of mobile owners in the U.S. use apps on their smartphone before even getting out of bed. So mobile isn’t just for people on the go anymore.

But are you bothered by their always delayed schedules? I just visited Janet and got both flights delayed. Not seemed to be caused of bad weather though.

Doug,

I think you are right.

I am just not a fan of businesses “tricking” people, but ultimately, the market will decide what’s worth talking about.

Jay,

I’m a fan of your posts. But I think you missed the mark on this one. A video is a video is a video. It’s ability to go viral is based in large part on its creativity and ability to engage people. You even say above that videos made by real people are not intended to sell us anything “at first.” I think many videos have an underlying sales/marketing strategy, even if it’s for an individual who, for example is a consultant. When you say “businesses who are trying to sell us something,” I’m assuming you mean large companies with the resources to produce something slick. If I, as a sole proprietor choose to invest in a professionally made video to sell my wares, would that be acceptable. Here’s the reality: most people today have become savvy enough to know if they’re being “sold” something. Terrible TV commercials get zapped. Great commercials are enjoyed for what they are. I think the same principle holds true for videos. Let the marketplace decide what is worthy of being viral.

Comment on Decide First by Post owner

Why would you require name and email address to leave comment on your blog? People are turned off by that, and usually those people would like to give your honest feedback. Also when either box is not filled, if you click on submit comment, all the context is gone after the error message: Error: please fill the required fields (name, email). This is really annoying!! After I typed all my comments!
Anyway, still want to comment on this one, here is a short version:
Usually there is only one ultimate/direct way of solving any problems. The problem here is people usually are wondering between what they want/need or what they think what they want/need. Often making decision is the hardest. There are always tradeoffs between different decisions/options/choices, it’s hard because whichever you choose is always going to hurt you by not satisfying you with your other desires. It’s not without knowing where is point B, is because there is point C, D, E……, all the points are equally meet your different prospects, and the prioritization are equally weighted as well. And there is no right or wrong when you making a choice simply because you can’t foresee different outcomes. The question is which point should I try first? B or C or E?

10 years is long enough to shape a person professionally and personally. It’s more than enough to make anyone or any company “great”; there are lesson of life everyday, we (or corporate) just need recognize it and learn from it. My belief is “Late is better than never.” Let’s all start something that we can be proud of in 3 years, 5 years, 10 years.
Happy New Year and Happy Blogging!

Because they start your “risk free” trial the moment you order, and can take a while before they ship it, you lose a week or your 14 day trial. so, by the time you do request a refund or a cancellation, it’s already too late. Scammers, big time. Go to the health food store and get it cheaper. The store isn’t going to disappear (hopefully) in 14 days. You know, if their contact numbers aren’t any good, it’s a pretty sure bet that they are not a good company and you can forget about that $1500 dollars.

Comment on Guilty Until Proven Innocent by Michele

Michele — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:24:24 +0000

I was just thinking about so many scams on Facebook now that I almost assume all advertisers are fakers now. The convenience and power of “reaching out” just took a very wrong turn slowly, and bad apples are pushing out the good ones. As a marketer of a new brand, it’s challenging to convenience consumers that “We are the REAL thing.” Take baby step and be humble — that’s my strategy.

It rarely matters where the movements start; it’s where they end up that will truly make a difference.

Very well put. Love the pop store owner.

Are all of these related to or a part of the Pacific WebWorks scam site?
It seems that they are by first appraisal.
