Ever hear of liveBooks?

There were at least five single post accounts who were very positive about the company, i.e. the only post the account ever made was how great and wonderful and not really expensive the service was. They just joined to make one sales pitch (at least five, as the sixth was more subtle, so may have been a real person).

I wouldn't use them because i don't support spammers.

There are way too many fishy posts on here. First way too many positives, then someone calls those out as a little fake and wham, TWO negative posts in a row? And Julia... NOBODY has an "amazing deal with google" to put a newbie on top, ESPECIALLY on something has heavily desired as "fashion photography new york".

Web design should be expensive. It's suffering the same fate as Wedding Photography where the market is being beyond undercut but inexperienced newbies coming in for a way cheap easy dollar. Some designers/web shops are just holding their ground at a premium price and they should - they value their product and they can charge what they feel it's worth. There is still plenty of money going around in this crapoconomy and you'll just cater to them. It's nicer dealing with higher paying customers; they're generally a LOT less of a headache the nickel'n'dime customers who never leave you alone. The people with money will spend it and leave you alone cause they're out making money. The people without money will struggle to pay you and then harass you a lot more because they're not out making money and they need to put the blame on you.

The thing that makes me sad is that the fake astro turf posts mean those who really do have positive experiences get tarred by the same brush.

Ahh well, this is an old thread, I may just remove my watch from it and ignore future spam.
