For three and a half months we have had an enforced stop, but now Win a Resort is back bigger and brighter than before.
When we designed Win a Resort, with its once in a lifetime Blue Moon Opportunity, we knew we were on our own. No one had done anything like this before. No one was raffling an entire resort on the Internet, let alone a luxury boutique resort, Seachange Lodge, on a tropical island in Vanuatu, in the South Pacific. A resort which could be an ongoing business, or used as a private holiday home, plus 6 luxury holiday apartments for friends and family. While we had no competition, we were faced with buyer resistance. If the prize is too good to be true then it probably is. Win a Resort had to be just another Internet scam, which would fade away like so many others, into the deep blue yonder of Cyber Space.
With great enthusiasm we built version number one. Admittedly it was built in a simple blog format, but it worked quite well. Within three months of launching we managed to get to a No. 3 page ranking on Google, and that was done without buying our way there. We were so proud of what we had accomplished, we decided it was time to start to rebuild a new stand-alone site in Dreamweaver. This was quite a challenge all on its own.
The first bad news came when we discovered that when you rebuild a site, your page ranking hits zero with a resounding clang. Unfortunately this was only discovered after the fact.
At the same time the Merchant Bank, which processed credit cards online, was caught in the United States financial fallout and appeared to have gone belly up. For three and a half nail-biting months we were forced to sit on the sidelines. No kindly lead-us-on carrots were put out only start up dates that never materialized. We weren’t even sure the bank would return online.
Our business is classed as being High Risk. Because our product is selling Blue Moon Opportunity raffle tickets on the Internet, there aren't too many merchant banks that will process the credit cards, for what they incorrectly class as a lottery. Some of our friends tried to help by encouraging us to go to Pay Pal or Click Bank etc. etc. Did you know that Pay Pal has a list of nearly fifty different types of businesses they won’t process, including accommodation, airline tickets and rental cars?
By this time many were saying we were down and out for the count. Yes our hair is a lot greyer (according to our hairdresser)
So, we will see you in the once in a life time Blue Moon Opportunity at winaresort.com. This is something you can't afford to miss out on. It could change the rest of your life and it will help some really great kids at the same time. Take a few minutes to check it out at Win a Resort.
