I have working knowledge of e-commerce marketing... so it was refreshing to see her detailed explanation of her business opportunity. It was refreshing because there didn't seem to be any mystery surrounding it, unlike other similar ads. I liked her transparent approach, so I enrolled.

After a brief digital welcome from Michelle Matthews, I was given a testimonial presentation... and then the cost began to add up. The free website has limited capabilities, so it is not worth the effort getting into the business opportunity at that level. You are offered the PRO version at 50% off, which is double the initial cost. Then there are additional costs for supercharging the websites to drive traffic to it.

The websites do get created at lightning speed and come with a product each, which you can choose from a pre-selected list of products. It is one product per website.

I wasn't really crazy about the selections, but I decided to give the company, the benefit of the doubt... so I continued. They do have good marketing tools - all of which you have to pay for at nominal one time rates... and that is where they make the money. These tools actually cost much less than what they are offering... but I did not begrudge the mark-up. It takes money to run a business. Up to this point, I was impressed with their organizational setup.

Though I had the ability to host 10 websites, I only picked four products, which I did not mind promoting. The other selections were of no interest to me. During the creation of the websites for the products I was given the opportunity to customize it with my own name. So I gave it my business name and lo and behold, instead of the name showing up on the URL or on the header of the website, the business name was included in the sales text, implying that I was creator and owner of the products, thus also making the claims.

To me that is false advertising and while I am fine with being a portal for other sellers, I could not in good conscience vouch for their products. You see in e-commerce, it is not enough to have a website with your products. A seller would need several mini websites to enhance higher search engine ranking to have his/her products seen by web traffic and to drive traffic to his/her products. The seller would have to keep submitting website URL to the search engine and once the site is spidered, there is no guarantee that the site will gain high ranking... as all search engines are keyword driven. This is where portal providers in Michelle Matthews enterprise come to the aid of the online businesses and drive traffic to their site.

Long story short, since I did not want to advertise the products as the originator of the products, I googled the product to find out who the creator was and to my chagrin, I found out there was no price standardization. Some members were practically giving the product away free.

When I tried to take the matter up with Michelle Matthews, the website link provided in their welcome email, did not connect me to their site at all but to the portal site of my newly acquired websites with them. Red Flag!

I went to PayPal to check on their address and found another email address which they furnished Paypal for buyer's convenience to speedy resolution and my email to them returned indeliverable. 2nd Red Flag. I called their UK office and left a message to cancel my account and to have them refund me the amount in entirety. I have opened a dispute with Paypal concerning the same.

I have no doubt if I stayed with them I could make money if I did not care how I made it. False advertising is wrong and she has lost credibility with me.
