It’s An Online Business for God’s Sake

by Gobala Krishnan on September 25, 2009

imageI just don’ get it – why would you make your entire website, blog and products “closed for business” on the weekends?

The image here is what you’ll see if you visit Mass Automation on a weekend – or to be more precise – the “non-business” hours.

I thought one of the selling points of an online business is that it stays open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, ready to generate cash on autopilot.

In the past I have promoted many offers from this site, including Auto Social Poster, Light Pop, Synonymizer, WP Blaster and much more. In fact I’ve made more than $1,500 / month as an affiliate at one point of time.

I stopped promoting those products aggressively, partly due to this “business hours” issue. Everything is completely inaccessible, even the blog and salespages. Its very, very odd that an online marketer would treat his business like that.

Imagine affiliates promoting the products with PPC only to find that any clicks they get on the weekends is completely wasted. As for myself, all I can do is ask my subscribers to try again later when the “store is open”.

I just don’t get it. Maybe you do.

I really don’t like this company, see my review here:

The support is the worst of all… before you buy anything from them, remember to read their terms and condition – carefully, they are not customer oriented, they run their business based on “law”, you might step on a bomb!

Wow, I didn’t know that. Is yours an isolated case?

Unless someone is engaged in a business based on providing a service, there’s no reason not to be fully operable 24/7. Even those who are service providers can have the bulk of their operation functioning at all times. Couldn’t agree with you more.
