Complaint Review: Global Net Warehouse

This is a text from a letter that was posted on rip off report on December 1, 2006:

-------------------------------------------------


I wish to respond to the Baxter, Tennessee resident, who believes Global Net Warehouse to be a rip off. I, too, have been subject to numerous come-on's and likely rip-offs on the Internet. The World Wide Web can be a scary place. It's sad that regulation of this world-sized communication network cannot be regulated easily, but you need to be aware that there are actually honest businesses out there, as well.

I am a website owner through Global Net Warehouse, and yes, the $600 I first invested eventually became over $6,000 (which covers two full years of advertising.) Am I worried? Of course, but not about this company. I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't worry about an investment of--what to them is--a large amount of money. But I am willing to take responsibility for my actions.

"It takes money to make money" is an old saying, and in many cases it's true. In this case, it most assuredly is. But you also need to nurture your investment, learn from your marketing coach, use your control panel to make your website the best it can be. In other words, take advantage of all the help that's being offered. You can't leave a field fallow and expect to harvest a huge crop.

Investing in advertising in any business is important. I could buy a meta tag generator and learn to use it--eventually--but that in itself is expensive and I would rather let an expert do it, this time around. And I'll let them find me the best spots on as many search engines as they can.

I'm not a super techie and I'm grateful to be given a site already set up. I'm more than willing to let my company (I consider Global Net Warehouse to be my company, too) create the software engines that populate the site with product, but allows me to set the pricing, set up special sales, reduce prices on some items, raise it on others. I can change the look of my site, the style, the layout, even the photo on the first page.

I've done my research, and while my prices can't beat the large discount stores on many items, (no one can, this is why Wal-Mart is running off with the world in it's fat pocket) it still is far lower than the specialty stores.
I'm not going to just wait for my checks to come in, either. I'm going to make certain they are as big as I can make them.

No one from GNW promised me great wealth or that I didn't need to do anything to earn my keep. It wasn't even implied. I know I will most likely need to keep my regular job, but once I have my site as I want it, it'll take no more than 15 minutes a day to make certain all is as I want it. The earnings from the site will pay off it's investment first, then I can save money.

And if, after a year, I'm dissatified with what I have, my start up money will be returned and so will Chris'. A year tends to go by very quickly. That's not what I want though. I want to be the highest earning site at Global Net Warehouse, if not this year, then the next, and I'm willing to work hard for that.

If Chris' advertising brought in more investors, then he has earned a commission on each. There are more ways than sales to earn money on your site. Chris needs to find out if there were any investments resulting from his flyers or mailers. They would not have invested his money that way without his agreement, which comes in writing and requires his signature.

In the long run, not everyone can handle a business, sited on the web or in a mall. Maybe I won't be able to either, but it won't be from not trying. It's unfortunate that some people misunderstand, or read their own desires into situations, only to have them cruely smashed by reality. You really do have to read the fine print to make an informed decision. Too bad that those that don't take the time to, turn out to be the ones that feel the most ripped off.

I was given the same deal that Chris got and I feel blessed. Go figure.
