So you've set up your online business and you're ready to go. You feel like your online status has changed. Now you get to call some of the shots. You feel like you've grabbed some of the awesome power of the Internet. Forgive me for laughing but it won't be long before you realize just how little power you actually have.
It's funny how sometimes several things seem to happen at once which will call our attention to a place where it's needed. I've received correspondence - and read comments - recently that turned my attention to some of the online payment processing companies.
I decided to take a look at what's going on here and couldn't help but be appalled. I'm always appalled when I find unfair advantage being taken of those who are trying their darndest just to run their businesses in a professional manner.
One of the complaints ezine publishers hear regularly concerns "exclusive mailings" - or "solo ads." These are emails sent to the ezine subscribers which usually contain an ad or other information. Frankly, I'm tired of hearing about it.
