Just thought I would add my two cents. I was asked to attend one of their seminars here in Regina, sask, and thought "well info can't hurt".
I wished I would have check here before I attended. I think I could have prevented some nice, but unknowing business people from spending money.
I had red flags go up right from the get go. They use some very good sales tricks here that have been around for years. Feed you first (You listen better when full), Holding off lunch (2 pm) to make people hurry to sign up only so they can eat. Showing of the Sick kid (which may or may not be true) Talking about how much money you can make, and how great a life you could have, with the internet. These statements(internet wealth) are true. But not at their price.
What they do offer is 3 to 4 times what such services should cost.
I was under the impression that allthough they did help people with little know-how have every thing done for them. That the services they offered were sound. But that were charging, way to much for this service. But after reading here, I have found that they don't even offer any good service to speak of.
I agree with the one Gentleman that I wished I had read these first, so I could have warned a few people. Storesonline may fool alot of people, but some can see the flags if they look hard enough. I will see if they are still in town tommorow and maybe some people can be warned.
Well, buyer beware is always the rule.
What hurts is that they prey on the business week people. Giving them false or near hope. Take all this money from them, and give little in return. These people deserve a business that will help them. Don't give up. There are some out there. Look for them, and of course check here for help.
And by the way I have a website, that makes little right now (I haven't got it complete yet, little details to finish) it cost me less than $30 per month webhost with all the storesline services. A friend did my website, but I could have hired a web-designer for less than $800. Merchent service account $25-100.(or use hyperwallet for cash)
So you can set up your website business for less than 1000-1200. marketing can be learned, and you can make money.... but $2500- $4300 start up fees, $50-$100 per hour every time you need a small webpage change, and a cookie cutter/ temp-plate crap site.
Please... they really do Rip off people.
