The great website scam | Business Web Factory

Are you a victim of the great website scam?

The global website market may be worth £billions but there are many more websites that don’t make a single sale.

These forgotten sites litter the internet until they are finally killed off by disgruntled owners who made just one mistake – they didn’t take control of this vital part of their business. If you’ve fallen into this trap yourself then don’t despair as you’re not alone.

It’s not your fault that you fell for the glitzy promises of a quick and easy solution. They made it so easy you couldn’t say no but are you still making the same mistakes months if not years later? Read on for the shocking truth about the website scams that we all fall for.

They are making money as you fail.

Remember that website of yours that isn’t getting any traffic or making a single sale? You may have forgotten about or tried to forget about it but they haven’t. They remember it every month as they take your payment. They know that you may see the payment taken and resolve to “do something about that website” but they also know you probably won’t.

At “only £10 a month” it’s costing you £120 a year. The average life for such a dead site is a staggering 4 years. That’s £480 wasted. At “only £20 a month” the numbers are doubled to a staggering £240 a year – nearly £1000 wasted in 4 years. If you signed up for e-commerce solutions you could be throwing even more away – each and every month.

They are playing on your emotions

No-one likes failure and admitting failure is even harder than failing itself. Because of this natural psychological response you’re trying to sweep your website under the carpet. If anyone asks you about your website you mumble some answer that glosses over the truth because you don’t want to face it. Your website has become an embarrassment.

Don’t worry, you’re not alone.

Only by biting the bullet and taking control can you move forward.

We all make the same mistakes

We’re all human and they have sold you a dud. Like everyone else, you were no doubt dazzled by the amazing choice of colourful templates. With over 500 to choose from, you made your choice and were delighted. You selected your website and domain name and you were done. You were amazed at how easy it all was. Except no-one came to your website.

Sorry, but you were conned again if you bought traffic from them. This is the biggest con of all. If only it was true that you could buy 30,000 ready-to-buy visitors for a few pounds. If it was true the price would be a lot higher! The truth is far from the promise you were sold.

It’s a sad fact that many that have tried buying traffic and failed with it then try it again thinking it was they that had done something wrong! Don’t fall for this. The fault isn’t yours.

Buying more traffic or more targeted lists won’t work any better. This is because elsewhere on the web, people are being paid a few pennies a day to visit websites. They load them up and close them without reading a single word. All they want is their payment and there is zero chance they will buy. Even if by some amazing fluke these two activities matched your website with a visitor that has an interest in what you’re selling they still won’t buy. They don’t know enough about you or your products to trust you enough to place an order.

Luckily there is a better way.

Doing nothing isn’t an option

If you continue doing nothing about this you will simply continue to pay money to those who have scammed you, month after month. You’ll also continue to miss out on the huge online market that is making others millions.

It is time to take action, now! - Stop paying for nothing and cancel your payment for your useless website. Why pay another penny for something that hasn’t worked so far?
It is time to take control – It’s your business and to get the most out of other aspects of your business you spend time, money and effort to manage it to get results. With your website you don’t do this, why not? Is it because you think you won’t understand it which is why you were conned by the “quick fix” solution? Don’t worry there is a way that you’ll be able to understand if you can use an office program like Microsoft Word or Excel.
It is time to invest in your website – No, not by pouring more money down the drain - but instead treating your website like any other part of your business.

Chemex Environmental International Ltd, based in Cambridge, faced this dilemma approximately 12 months ago. Rather than paying lip service to the problem and succumbing to quick fix solutions to drive traffic to its site, or optimise it for the search engines, or changing the home page, or a hundred other options, it chose to take ownership of the situation.

The managers made a commitment to invest time and effort in their website to create something that reflects their passion for quality. Initially vulnerable, Chemex took the bold step to dare to be different.

They analysed their business and asserted their reason for being was in providing the highest possible quality. Rather than searching for answers for what works, they looked from within to discover their passion and their motives.

Rather than looking for quick fixes, they strove to become the trusted expert by writing articles to help, explain and educate, and to nurture their customers. Chemex now has a solid marketing tool that proudly represents the intentions behind the business.

You could do the same.

It’s time to get your slice of the action

It’s time to draw a line under the past. It’s time to forget past mistakes (and stop paying for them) and to move on. It’s time to start getting serious about making money via the internet. Despite what the scam artists will tell you there is no magic bullet that will force people to buy from you.

They say - It’s easy to tap into the billions that are made on the web every year.
We say - To make money online is the same as offline. It requires marketing, building trust and creating offers your prospects can’t refuse.

They say - Setting up and running your website is easy.
We say - Only failing websites are easy. Successful websites take effort to keep them full of up to date content that will build trust with your audience so that they will order from you.

They say - There is easy money to make online.
We say - Thanks to the scam artists making money online is actually getting harder because people are getting more cautious. Luckily, if you’re genuine in your motives to help and advise this will shine through and you’ll not only make a sale but also a customer for years to come.

How to spot a website scam

Here are the tell-tale signs that the offer you are being sold is nothing more than a quick fix scam.

Misleading prices to draw you in - The next time that you see a price that looks too good to be true then it probably is. Take for example, a site that offers domain names for just a few pennies each. Dig deeper and the actual price you’ll pay is considerably higher and doesn’t even approach the promoted price if you buy over 5000 at one time. We believe in transparent pricing so that you know exactly what you’ll pay and what you’ll get for it.
They blind you with the number of templates - Are you impressed by the number of website templates that are on offer? Does it matter if there’s a choice of 100, 500 or even a 1000? What really matters is what is beneath the template. Does the site have an efficient content management system? Is it flexible so that it grows with you? Or is it limited with an unrealistic fixed number of pages? We believe that the number of templates is irrelevant. What matters is your choice of content management systems that grow with your business and marketing information and email courses to help build your long term success.
There is a telling lack of help and support beyond the initial stage - What support do you need? What support is on offer? The sad truth is that most companies offer little more than limited technical support. We believe that you should be offered comprehensive marketing, design and technical support as well as informative articles and email courses to help you to get the most out of your website.
There is no real answer to the vital question of “What happens next? - What happens once you’ve created your website? How are you going to get visitors? How will you attract, keep and entice those visitors to become customers? The sad truth is that most other companies fail on this which is why 77% of websites fail and are never updated. Try looking to see if the word marketing is even mentioned as without an effective marketing strategy your website will fail. We believe you should have a quick start to get you going backed up with the knowledge and training to help you devise and implement a long term winning formula.
Finally a challenge for you - What do you want for your website? Will you be succumbed by pretty templates or will you look deeper and see it as the marketing tool it can be. We believe you should be guided throughout your website journey from getting started, to attracting customers and then nurturing them so that they become long term clients.
