Comment on ATT Uverse problems. Customer care lowered my bill, but is it worth it? by Andrew

Wow! There are a lot of horror stories here. This kind of thing makes me glad to be an employee and subscriber of DISH Network, where I don’t have to deal with that type of thing. Aside from having great customer service, DISH has a lot of other great things going for it as well. Like for one thing when you’re receiving all your entertainment services from a single ‘line’, if one goes down, you lose everything. DISH also has more HD channels than anyone else in the industry and with great offers like HD free for life you end up paying less too.

Just got uverse 3/3. Got a bill for 2 months for $461. Had a charge on the bill for $55. Have talked to 5 people and getting different answers. Ask to speak to a supervisor. The same girl came on the phone pretending to be a supervisor. Had trouble with the line twice. Each time they charged $55. Thats for a future bill, not on this one. Can get it resolved. They have all these kids answering the phone. I’m hateing it already and just got the service.

Comment on Amazon Affiliate Program Review by Passive Income Dorm

I prefer the option of using Amazon because of the variety of products that you can promote on niche websites. I use Amazon for ideas for niche sites because it helps to get an idea of what exists and how popular it may be. It also helps to find related items if you’re trying to build a website for profit.

Also, as stated in the post, Amazon is one of the few programs that give you options for how to promote their products. You can link directly to a product by link, image, review, etc. You’re not limited by just the category.

A great example of someone that is making Amazon niche sites work is Chris Guthrie. He has sold over $937,337.25 of products on Amazon!!

Comment on Money Saving Tips: Cable vs. Hulu by Ruth

Ruth — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 03:54:07 +0000

There wasn’t much on cable over the holidays so I took the leap. I was paying Cox about $180 a month for a bundle with internet, phone with free long distance, cable (premium but not HBO, etc, an extra cable box for the roommate and DVR. I loved that DVR. I bought a PlayStation 3, $250 and signed up for Netflix with DVD mailings $10 a month and HULU Plus $8 a month. I kept basic cable (local channels) for $20 a month and pay $45 for internet. Don’t need the phone. So, doing the math, I’m saving about $100 a month, paying for the PS3 in 10 weeks.
HULU Plus is a little disappointing. I miss reality shows and HGTV. And I miss MADMEN, the MENTALIST & WHITE COLLAR. My old laptop isn’t up to streaming video. But maybe I’ll use the money I save in the next 6 months to buy a new one.
No complaints about Netflix.

Comment on Where’s The Beef? Finding Passive Income Sources by The Single Saver

I really can’t compare Adbrite to Adsense… I won’t use Adsense for a variety of reasons. Mainly, though, I use Adbrite because I like being able to choose my ads and reject those that I think go against my overall message. I haven’t looked into Clickbank in a lot of detail as of yet but I will someday as I have an e-book I am working on.

Laura – Tell me more about your goals for YouTube videos? Be sure to send me a link when you get one published.

Ben – I have not been able to publish an new articles with Demand Media. I submitted my “article resume” but was not approved. I’m not sure if I should give it another shot or just continue to promote existing articles. I have written other articles for sites like Squidoo and Hubpages that are in the same niche as my most profitable ehow articles.

Single Saver – Have you found that adbrite is more profitable compared to adsense? Have you looked into offering clickbank products on your site?

Yes!!! My Uverse has been out for 7 days now. Now they are blaming it on the person who installed it 7 months ago saying he set it too high – I have no internet, telephone, or TV and have been fooling with the “outside guy” and the “inside guy” throwing each other under the bus because of union contract issues of not being able to do one another’s jobs. WHAT A MESS. Going to cancel and go back to insight. They need to get a CEO on undercover boss.
