Freelance, I agree. Flash does have its place - in moderation. But the fact of the matter is most websites just don't need it.

I'm continually amazed at how many people choose to do their own photography and post photos that are out of focus, use poor lighting, and take forever to load. A good photo can sell the product for you and make you stand out from your competition. Using a manufacturer provided photo is an inexpensive solution, but having your own top-quality photos will differentiate you from your competitors.

I like the list but I think flash has it's place, most sites simply tack it on trying to impress or something, but a nice buttoned slide show advertisement etc. is a very professional touch.

Hi Ross:

You're quite welcome, but all I did was tabulate the votes. Be that as it may, it's an honor you obviously earned, because of your company's outstanding service.

Regarding the date you started your company, unfortunately, I have to go with the date that's in your WHOIS information. And that information indicates you registered your domain in 2001. If you can show me WHOIS information that shows an earlier date, I'll be happy to change the date in your profile.

All the best...
David

David,

I have personally found your observations to be true. For example, one thing you will occasionally see on Twitter is an account that floods the board with affiliate links. I tried this once and sent droves of traffic to Clickbank via shortened affiliate links. None of them converted, at all. This was undoubtedly partly due to the fact that all of the traffic was cold meaning that there was no pre-sell. Now, I only send them to my articles.

2010-06-28T15:18:01.845-04:00

I sold a very poular product for many years and became quite disullisioned when I realized that I was not selling to the ultimate customer, I was the ultimate customer for the MLM company. I had to buy products in advance and the sell to my customer. Also, they claimed to be different from MLM because they had a balanced approach of recuriting with sales. Not so, it was so hard to reach the level where you actually got money and it was hard to understand when you might acutally get a check based on the charts they said were supposed to explain it. When I finally made the decision to leave that lifestyle, it was really like walking away from my faith. I began to realize that I had put too much hope in the product and company and had abandoned my actual life and spirit in the process. I'll never sign up for another MLM again even though many people bombard me with offers.

I have joined MLM program 3 years ago. I quite agree with you about Lie#7. MLM requires a lot of commitment and time. We need to attend the training course. We need to serve the customers. We need to look after our downlines. We need to upgrade ourselves. We need to boost up the sales. All of these require a lot of efforts and time to do. If you miss one, then your business will be ruined easily.

Thanks for your comments, Mark. I think a lot of it has to do with low self-esteem, and lack of confidence. I really do.

Besides, my article was really intended for the people who basically give away their services for $2. I just don't get that.

I have been struggling with this myself! Even though I do KNOW that I am very good at what I do, I am constantly being told that I undervalue my work. and to be quite honest, they are correct. But at the same time, I really LOVE what I do and love making it available to people at a "reasonable" cost. What also comes up is the region where you work. In some locations, I could charge 2 or 3 times what I can do in our local area. this may well be the TOUGHEST question anyone has to ask themselves and worse....answer!

Yeah, blogs leave html one page websites in the dust. Google loves rapidly changing content with rich keyword focus. You'll not only be able to fine tune the target of your visitors but you can capture their interest by allowing them to comment so visitors feel as if they are landing on a mini community: they may even return to read further comments later - or even better, to read more of your buzz content!
