Whenever an online website promises me that they won’t steal my money and that they are not a thief I quickly breathe a huge sigh of relief…
This is one of the promise that Megalido makes and as any competent online business owner knows promises and follow-through are what drive successful businesses – and possibly odd-shaped icons and logos that look sort of like canoes (oh, they’re surfboards…now i see the “catch the wave” motto).
Also within the Megalido “promise inventory” is the declaration that they will not do the “HAR”. If you don’t know what a HAR is Megalido is kind enough to provide a proper definition: it’s the “Hit and Run”.
OK, let’s do a little recap here:
- Won’t steal money.
- Not thiefs.
- Won’t do the HAR.
So far so good, although I think if I were to join such a program (which I wouldn’t) I would definitely call them up and make sure they aren’t going to steal my money and that they’re not thiefs.
I think just asking them would do the trick there.
A most baffling tagline…
Megalido calls themselves “The Star of Autosurfs”.
For some reason if I were running an online business I’m not sure this is the claim to victory I would want to make – although I wouldn’t use a weird looking canoe – I mean surfboard – as a logo either…so what the heck do I know (I’m sure I’ll be getting a lot of interesting answers to THAT question).
I mean claiming to the “The Star of Autosurfs” is like calling yourselves…um…hmmm…
I think I’ll save that one for the comments. Maybe someone can come up with a good analogy there.
One things clear. They should change their tagline to:
“Megalido – We Won’t Steal Your Money!”
Update: I’ve put together a handy list of questions for you to go through in order to help you evaluate autosurf opportunities. I think most of this stuff you can just ask the owners or admins of the program:
- Will you steal my money?
- Are you a thief?
- Do you plan to be known as a “HAR” at a future date?
- Would you consider your program an illegal security?
- How long have you been in business? (The shorter the better).
- Just confirming again that you’re not going to steal my money.
