So Reddit. I'm most likely going to be Burgled tonight. Any ideas on how to keep these assholes away? by flesh_swordin AskReddit

Leave a cheap laptop lying around for them to steal. Do NOT password protect the login and then install Prey Project on it. (and possibly logmein too)

Wait a day or two. Log into the prey project website and download photos of the thieves plus screenshots of their facebook profiles.

How long have you been going? How long did it take to get to 50K ? What things did you do that seemed to ramp up your FB users the most?

thanks. I'll try that. edit: ok...everything seems fine. All green....with one or two yellow "timeouts". So at least I'm not blacklisted.

yeah .... but their stats are not very helpful. Something is blocking the mails even though it's not showing up in the stats as spam or bounced. Very odd.

I use Graphicmail....who are not being very helpful. I'm thinking of moving to emarsys.

mm... I go to those shows and they have proved useful in the past. I go to hobby X too, although it's a bit pathetic to be honest (2000 scrapbook stalls)

This is not quite the same because the products are so unusual. I'm not going to find them at any tradeshow around here. I need to track down the manufacturers.

Thanks...What Fraud detection scenarios should I look for? At the moment I've found that they always buy high value items and they buy many times directly after each other.

no I don't know. Thanks for the answer. If you are an affiliate, let me ask you another two questions if you don't mind.

What percentage do you think is normal for affiliate commission ?

If someone links to my site from an affiliate, should i give them commission on that product only...or any sales they do on my website? At the moment I'm giving them comm on any and all sales (but only for 24 hours)

college student trying to start an online business, need advice by dubuin Entrepreneur

I've done something like this.

2 tips off the top of my head

You biggest challenge is exposure. It's very competitive out there and nobody is going to care about you or take the time out to find out about you for a while. Not until you hit a certain tipping point.

Customer service is going to be murder. Some great profits to be made form China....but there's a lot of junk out there too. Some products are going to seem amazing until you ship them and you have 80% come-back. If the word gets out that your site sells junk....you're dead.
