My friend went to this kind of seminar that claim that it's-easy-to-make-money-online-what-you-need-to-do-it's-to-have-a-website ... whatever ... she came back with an expensive merchant account she purshased from this guys, a junk whosaler-dropshippers list of over-saturated markets that nobody wants and people sell at $ 0.99 on Ebay for people who don't know anything about webmarketing, a hosting + "free" site builder ($35/ month).... and a lot of bonuses ( that you can find free on internet) to give her the impression that she did a great deal. The strategy of this guys was sell their merchant account
I was very upset to see that she has been scammed because of her ignorance, I succeeded to convince her to cancel her merchant account because she can find better and cheaper ... (anyway, she didn't have a business yet) so she did. But she wants to keep her website ($35/month + no domain name included + a weak site builder with no design, no templates ... nothing). I want to convince her that she made a very bad deal and she needs to cancel this. She built the website (very plain, white background etc.) and I noticed that the adress of her home page is the domain name that she bought for an other company but the adress of the other pages are a sub-domain name: hername.theripofcompany.com.
When I look at the source codes of her pages, there are no meta-tags. I don't know how the search engines can find her website. Plus, she wants to sell her Cds on this website. She doesn't know anything about webmarketing and webmastering. I find that she limits herself with this site builder and the hosting without the important features is too much expensive. She wants just a 4 pages website.
I need to be very persuasive to explain her what it's not the best option. I am a webmaster myself and I read a lot about webmarketing. Can someone gives me strong argruments to convince her? And what do you think about site builders?
