The point is, Amazon is being marketed as THE conversion machine by self-proclaimed independent reviewers. If I enter "amazon bad experiences" into google, I get nothing of value.
Then you get those that say they "made it on amazon" without proof and any hint on replicating it.
Plot twist: Amazon works* for NOBODY. But nobody admits it. Think about it.
*By it working, I mean making more than 40$/hour with all expenses deducted.
No matter how often you repeat it, it is not my responsibility(aka fault)
Responsibility (what retards call "fault") entails ability to control. Those factors are all out of my control. Which is why I am not responsible for it.
- that amazon requires EANs
- that guides are too vague to replicate
- that it is sheer luck if anything sells even if you use jungle scout to find your "winning product"
- that chinese manufacturers try to screw you over
- that people demand low prices which make it impossible for you to produce at home in your 1st world country
I did what I could do and it didn't sell.
My anger aims at those who implicitly promise(not explicitly cause then I could sue them) that by doing "product research", and "just having your products produced in china using alibaba" I could make a good living.
But it's all fake.
Either by faking the numbers.
Or by showing gross profit instead of net profit.
We just need to be honest to each other. Instead of trying to sell shit to each other, we should just say:
This is how it really is: you don't make much money doing it. It's an exhausting job for low wages and all you do is enrich amazon's supply.
They have a greater offer because of you.
Speaking of value. What even is value. Your iPhone? Popsockets(I heard about this only yesterday for the first time)? Value is overrated and contradicts everything marketing stands for. Value is not there and people choose it. You create desire by drawing attention to a lack of something.
Basically nothing around you has value. Unless someone shows you how life would be without it. And if you really look at advertising, you notice that you are better off without it.
Only stupid customes think they get valuable items. By stupid I precisely mean those that use words like "fault" and phrases like "your fault".
Those are the children who - after they saw an ad - have a huge desire to get an electronic device they haven't even heard before seeing the ad.
Seriously I get the impression I am dealing with incompetent children here with zero experience with amazon who feel a little bit too anonymous.
BTW: your american references mean shit to me because I am a proud german who sees most americans as morbidly obese short bus users(like most germans if they were honest, something they never are). And: do not connect me with the low-life cunt I have never voted for that is called chancellor of germany.
