Qondio - Content plus networking

I have been using Qondio since its inception. It is a site that allows you to post content. You don't make money but every intell you post gets you an enduring back link. Over time this works. Social networking and content management are both soft approaches to sales. You can build networks with like minded individuals and learn stuff at the same time.

Amazon Buyers be Aware of this Scam

It hurts!! I have been scammed and lost £346 through a scammer operating through the Amazon.co.uk site.

If you see this guy selling anything don't buy it!!

The moment money transfer is mentioned, leave well alone.

The email addresses that I have corresponded though are:

Alexander Groom (oscar-dehn@hotmail.com)
orchard.order@googlemail.com

Hopefully other people will google their email addresses and come up with this.

Why would any trustworty retailer have hotmail & gmail addresses? They are coming across as legit UK based companies with corresponding company websites.

Again - leave well well alone - pure scammers.

What really annoys me is that Amazon was warned about this scammer in early december according to a forum on their site and still he appears. I got scammed but they should have closed this guy out in early December.

So if it can happen to an old hand like me it can happen to anyone.

Thanks

Brand yourself

Sound's painful doesn't it! But I am talking here of using the best brand you have, which is a photo of your face. When advertising online you need to make your pages stand out. It has been demonstrated that the first thing the eye is drawn to on a web page is a photo of a face. Many websites have great graphics and content but nothing that distinguishes it from the other million pages out there advertising the same thing into the same market.

Did you know that your face is unique? It does not need to be pretty or handsome (for proof of that look at my photo on this blog!)just yours.

So if you want to get a better response to your webpages include a photo of yourself and play on your unique brand, your face.

Get to Know People before You Sell

One mistake that people often make in business is working their contacts for sales to early. The secret is to get to know your customers/contacts and give them an opportunity to know you. Trust will come as people get to know you and then when you make an offer people are much more likely to respond.

Using social networking sites such as IMFaceplate
will allow you to meet people who may become customers once they know you.
So be patient, the rewards will come.

Networking

The key to successful business practice is networking. That is where tools such as blogs, Yuwie and Twitter come in. Over the years I have cultivated a large list of people who I have done business with and built up their trust. This is a two way street with benefits for both parties. I get to share my ideas and tips and they in turn get the chance to share their ideas and experiences. I have several people whose advice I trust implicitly and when they tell me something I listen. Over years I have found that their advice is sound. One is a young guy called Tim Linden and the other is a grizzled warrior like myself called Tony Tezak.

Go to my web site if you want to join their programs. Tims venture is called StartXchange and Tony's is Tezaks Traffic Power - just click on the respective links
