Below, we outline why a Cheap Business Website can be a very bad idea!
If things change quickly in business, they change even more quickly on the Internet. From Dec 2009 new American FTC laws changed forever the way we do business over the internet.
If you do not sell in America, this does not affect you (unless of course, you do not have the mandatory legal documents for your country on your site). BUT, if you sell internationally you need to keep reading. And no matter where you sell, adopting USA legal protections probably offers good cover anywhere.
Practices that have not changed since 1980, and are standard usage in many businesses, ARE affected.
Even the truth will not protect you. If, for example, you sell a weight loss product and you have fully documented proof that someone lost 60 kilos in 3 months – using that as a testimonial WILL get you in hot water if you sell in the USA after 1 Dec 2009.
Even the old “results not typical” disclaimer no longer protects you. To understand why, and what the problems are with commissions and endorsements, check the link below.

And why could a cheap business website destroy You and Your Business? Because most web designers are not business people and do not need to do your Risk Evaluations for you; most web designers have no idea the FTC is even doing this. And if you are considering buying a small business website from a moonlighter rather than a pro …
But of course, there is a solution. Check out the solution I use to protect my small business website by clicking on “Legal – please read” at the top of this page. If you buy our $495 version, all of these forms are included. If you are only selling locally in Australia and not making any outrageous claims you may not need legal forms on your website, but we can provide them as an optional extra on the versions below our $495 bestseller website.
Of course, you will probably be tempted to just copy the legal stuff on my site. The guy I purchased this from, Internet lawyer Mike Young, is President of the Internet Attorneys Association. If you want to mess with guys like Mike, that’s your business. Me, I choose to pay him. Paying Mike: Cheap. Being fined by the FTC: Very expensive. Being sued for breach of copyright … You do not even want to think about it 😉

1. Cheap or free web hosts make you look unprofessional and cheap. Consider your small business website an investment. If you want results then your website should have a professional appearance.
2. Unnecessary additions will drive away customers. Extensively graphical, sound, flash and other extras can make your page slow to load. Some browsers can’t handle your graphics or other extras unless the customer downloads a plug in. They will just go elsewhere.
3. Ignoring your customers is death to a company. When you do not ask for your customer’s feedback and ignore their inquiries, questions and comments, you are sending a message to the customer that they are not important to you.
4. Failure to manage your time. Time management is crucial to your productivity and success. Your time is money and spending your time on frivolous activities will cause you to lose valuable time that will cause you to lose those income opportunities worth millions.
5. Not paying attention to the quality of your emails that you send to prospects and customers. Your correspondence is a direct reflection of your small business. At least spell check your work and make sure that your writing is grammatically correct. Try to present a million dollar image.
6. Not keeping in touch with your customers and prospects with opt-in lists. Create an opt-in list for your customers and prospects so that you can inform them about site updates, new products, sales, special deals and information.
7. Don’t ruin your business’s reputation with advertising that is inappropriate. Keep your reputation pristine by refraining from spam and other unwanted correspondence.
8. You can not achieve success without marketing. All income opportunities worth millions are based on marketing. You have to market in order to gain ground and be successful. And a small business website at the prices we charge is a no-brainer!
9. You won’t get rich overnight. Just like any other kind of business, an online business must be nurtured and grown in steps. Building a business is work and you have to be committed just as you would with any income opportunities worth millions.
10. Not collecting email addresses. To market successfully online, you need people to market to. Take every opportunity to collect email addresses from your visitors to create a permission list to continue communicating with them.
In conclusion, harness the power of the internet. The internet can bring customers to you from all over the world. The internet can provide to you income opportunities worth millions and help you to financial independence. Get your small business website NOW for peanuts.
