Earning Money Online

You might wonder about the title “Scared of Something Good?”, but there is a logical explanation. Here it goes…

What would you say if I had discovered something AMAZINGLY GOOD and I only described it in mediocre terms? You would lose interest quicker than a horse could run a steeplechase, wouldn’t you? Likewise when something is REALLY BAD, should I make excuses for a person releasing a bad product at an all too high price? Both reactions would be off-base compared with the product at hand.

Well, in Denmark many get scared when you praise a product. Skepticism causes many to believe you’re just praising the product to earn money even though you actually just being enthusiatic.

What’s your opinion about emotions? Do they scare you or have you learned to use it effectively in your business. Let me hear what you think… Thanks beforehand.

I want to bring some information so you can learn from the first ever dispute I initiated through PayPal. I never thought ANYONE would ever dare challenge PayPal since there are numerous proofs they WILL terminate accounts when people defraud others using their payment system. Even the least suspicion may be enough, and this is – of course – good for us as users since we know we can get our money back…

What happened?
I made two orders with what I thought was a reputable online music company. A few weeks apart I made an extra order even though I hadn’t yet received the first albums. The music I needed wasn’t available through Amazon, but was available on a website using PayPal.

“That’s fine by me” was my thought. I waited. A week too late I received the first two albums from my first order for three albums. And three to go in the next order. Well, I’m a patient guy, and since it was the x-mas season I thought there might be some problems getting everything ready. After New Year arrived I did however get somewhat annoyed because now the second order had been over two weeks standing as payment received but no shipment prepared. I sent the first kind reminder, the second kind reminder, and then thursday enough was enough. I sent an online claim where I made them aware that my next contact was to initiate a dispute using PayPal.

Only then I was somewhat surprised to receive a receipt that they had received my complaint on thursday but still no reply whatsoever. Ten minutes ago I filed my first complaint ever as a customer who is dissatisfied.

What Mistakes Did I Make?
When I placed the order I hadn’t checked the company adding the word “problems” in my Google search. Had I done that I would have found that I wasn’t alone in experiencing problems. So what is the best lesson from all of this? If you don’t know who you’re dealing with, run a Google search to see what that might bring up.

Don’t trust anyone if they don’t deserve it! Be a skeptic when needed. Check and test everything ’cause you’re going to get pretty annoyed having to wait for others to resolve matters that should have been settled long ago in a good and positive atmosphere.

Remember: trust is BUILT. It’s something we EARN when we deal DECENTLY with one another. That’s the best way to do business, both online and offline.

Why doubt it when you have been given all sorts of information? Stop doubting about your talents and get to work instead. It IS much easier than many claim, yet does also require that you’re passionate about becoming your own boss. Action IS the key to success, so why wait?

Google can today celebrate their tenth anniversary, and I found their graphics of the day very beautiful and inspiring. Here is a screendump:

Small Beginnings

When the two students from Stanford University, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, started their search engine there were quite a few large ones. Personally, at the time, I used AltaVista quite a bit, yet both AltaVista and Yahoo found themselves way back in line once the simplistic browser Google appeared. Part of their success has no doubt been the very “clean” appearance of their website when you land on the front page of the Google search engine. Also the speed of searches was far superior to all the other search engines.

The genius of starting something when you have a far better idea than the existing ones IS the one that paid off.

What You Can Learn From Google

What you can learn from Google and the small beginnings is that YOU TOO COULD SUCCEED. You need to throw in a good deal of enthusiasm, vision, joy, content (good articles), and stick-to-itiveness, but you CAN succeed.

Why be afraid of hitting that line of gold? You don’t have to be. Au contraire, you should consider working even more focused towards your goal of building your own business, and what begins in your little study or garage may end up being a multi-million dollar business.

Carpe diem.
