I hardly ever shop at Wal-Mart.<\/p>\n
And, when I do, it’s usually online.<\/p>\n
Why?<\/p>\n
Is it because I hate Wal-Mart?<\/p>\n
Think the products are shoddy?<\/p>\n
Take the side of cry baby small businesses who whine about Wal-Mart taking customers away (because they are too lazy to learn even the most BASIC of sales, marketing and merchandising skills)?<\/p>\n
No… my reasoning is much more snooty<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n I don’t like Wal-Mart because it oozes “cheap.”<\/p>\n I ain’t just talking about prices, either.<\/p>\n Frankly, I like a good deal as much as anyone.<\/p>\n What I’m talking about is the mentality it caters to — where everything is about cheap, cheap, cheap. Like, for example, the vultures who camped outside their friendly neighborhood Wal-Fart stores yesterday at the expense of enjoying it with their families just to get a good deal.<\/p>\n Ugh.<\/p>\n Just not my bag, I guess.<\/p>\n Anyway, that’s my opinion.<\/p>\n Am I saying you should stay away from Wal-Fart?<\/p>\n Not get their great deals?<\/p>\n And avoid it like the plague?<\/p>\n No, no… nothing like that.<\/p>\n Just consider this a public service announcement.<\/p>\n Cheapness is a disease that can have seriously negative effects on entrepreneurs who adapt the Wal-Mart mentality to their own businesses. (By selling things based on price, only consuming free stuff online, only buying cheap $7 eBooks that are full of nothing but hot air and affiliate links, etc.)<\/p>\n Hey, hate me all you want for saying this.<\/p>\n But cheap is ALWAYS more expensive.<\/p>\n And few ever get rich by being cheap.<\/p>\n Except maybe for Wal-Mart.<\/p>\n Anyhoo.<\/p>\n One thing that’s not cheap is “Email Players”.<\/p>\n It’s quite pricey, actually.<\/p>\n And there are lots of reasons for that.<\/p>\n One of which is I don’t cater to cheap people.<\/p>\n I’d rather cater to players.<\/p>\n Investors.<\/p>\n And, yes, REAL business people.<\/p>\n (Not wannabe spectators<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n If you think you got right stuff, go to:<\/p>\n
