Buyers typically rely on Amazon product reviews when it comes time to make a purchase. And as with most internet sites, those items boasting a surplus of four and five star reviews receive the most attention from the average consumer. But what happens when the seller solicits positive reviews as a way to boost sales and pad overall ratings? Usually … nothing good. Up until late 2016, there was nothing prohibiting sellers from entering into quid pro quo-type arrangements with customers. Reviews in exchange for free products. The understanding, of course, was that said reviews would be “honest and unbiased.”  But Amazon then changed their policy regarding incentivized reviews and many buyers, who were profiting royally from the former arrangement, took the practice  underground.

Further, while this newly created product will typically be of lesser quality, it will also have the full backing of the Amazon machine. Even Alexa, for instance, will select items from Amazon’s private label products over branded products when prompted. ...

When online sellers start out, their business usually consists of just one or two people who are responsible for doing everything. Over time, they start to hire people to handle some of the tasks that come with an ecommerce business. But, after a while, they find themselves working longer hours than they ever envisioned without getting time to focus on the areas where they add the most value. This prevents their business from expansion, and instead of sourcing or developing products they are dealing with customer queries, putting products in boxes and editing product images or update listings which sometimes extremely time-consuming. At this point, you have to consider what your time is worth and either hire more staff or look to outsource some tasks. It may cost some money to outsource customer support, but if you c...
