    The Press Release is DEAD

    MARKETING 
    Good advice, and you can add OnlinePRNews to that list. I have used them several times and they've been good. Also - do NOT use salesy or promotional language, or language that sounds like you are bragging/boasting about your product or company. Instead, make it "story" centric. If and when...

    Amazon's new way to deal with patent infringers

    Yeah this is sadly often the case. They have made it VERY hard for sellers to contact them anymore. They used to have a dedicated seller support department, with reps, a separate phone number, etc. - but that all got closed down. They're pretty much all devoted to consumers and sales now...

    Amazon's new way to deal with patent infringers

    The infringing party essentially have two options: A) Ignore the request, but have their listing at least temporarily taken down until they want to fight it for $4k. or.. B) Try to fight it right away, but then pay up the $4k for a chance to defend themselves. In most cases, they will probably...

    Amazon's new way to deal with patent infringers

    Ok I basically thought it was a joke, lol. I mean I know top execs have assistants screening their emails and stuff, but clearly even if Jeff or any other top brass at Amazon read it - they would probably just laugh since they are clearly aware of their stance on profiting from counterfeits...

    Amazon's new way to deal with patent infringers

    Lol yes. Except for the fact that Amazon doesn't really give a shit about your legal team contacting them either. I have talked to a few other sellers that were in my shoes, and they had way more resources than I did. They had tried repeated requests from their lawyers time and again, but...

    Amazon's new way to deal with patent infringers

    For years, Amazon has turned a blind eye to sellers that blatantly infringe on US patents - allowing (mostly Chinese) copycats to steal ideas and profit from them on Amazon. And of course - Amazon has been, and still is, profiting very well from this as well. My own product fell victim to being...

    Eskil's Mentoring to Accelerate Your Growth

    MARKETPLACE 
    A) No that is not his core point. He is trying to say that I have been running around asking people for money knowingly never intending to pay them back. That I have deceived them, and tried to take advantage of the forum connections as my "piggy bank". Which is an awful and untrue allegation...

    Eskil's Mentoring to Accelerate Your Growth

    MARKETPLACE 
    Yes I have, mostly so I could stay afloat personally when times were extremely rough - and most of them came to me and offered it without me asking. For those who wanted it, I wrote them promissory notes with my personal guarantee - even with a very favorable interest return (again, for those...
