2MuchMark... Naughty Naughty

Hi Sarettah, I agree with you. I hate the word "Turnkey", but at the same time it is an effective marketing word. People like the idea that a complex product loaded with modules, is "complete", "ready to go", and "turnkey". However, I would disagree to call it "preying on newbies".

Any website that any webmaster builds for someone is "turn key". In an adult site, what does it include? Tour pages, galleries, membership areas, billing, user or password management, etc. Is this not turn-key?

Anyway, your post has prompted me to make a change on our front page. It now reads Newbies:

This is your chance to jump into the game with a web-ready online solution; learn the ropes of the video chat world without breaking your bank account by renting our system and paying easy monthly payments. Stop anytime, or buy it out!

Need site designers, advice or traffic? Our partners & resources program consists of industry pros ready to work with you!

I love the ContentGod.com purchase page and can completely feel the frustration the person who wrote this had. We have something similar on our FAQ page located at http://2much.net/faq.php which reads:

Is LiveCamNetwork a business opportunity, or a business tool? LiveCamNetwork is first and foremost, a tool. It is a complete streaming solution, and it is also an accounting and management system. It provides everything that you need to run a successfull video chat business, or expand your current business into the video chat arena, including a BASIC website. It does not however, make money by itself. it has nothing to do if you have no customers for it to process, or no Live chat models to stream. The 2Much crew however has years of experience under its belt and is Here for you for unlimited business support. We can help you to carefully manage your advertising budget, attact new chat models to your website, and provide lots of advice to make your new chat site a success.

2Much is launching a brand new Partner program on May 1st, 2008. It will include lists of qualified webmasters, traffic generators, advertising agencies, Search Engine Optimization experts and more that will all be ready to help you with your new online chat business.

We have not made the official announcement yet, here's a sneak peak. We are about to launch a partnership program whereby 2Much will install our video chat system complete with a basic website. We will then refer customers to webdesginers who want to design custom made pages for them, for whatever fee the designer normally charges.

We will also be referring qualfied customers to traffic gurus, Bloggers, SEO's, Adult industry consultants, etc. We are still putting the finishing touches on the program and should have it ready in a few days.

Yeah, Drav, who owns content god, is a pretty good friend of mine and that got written after dealing with lots of frustration with people who bought it thinking it was a magic box. He spent lots of time making the installs right and having his support people walking people through it.

However, when they failed, even after all the help, I believe he returned the money and said sorry it didn't work out.

If a company markets to newbies then they have to go all the way and I do mean all the way because, after all they are newbies.
