I have just subscribed to Howie Schwartz's "Friendly Webmaster" program, which includes some webmaster hours per month, but also an outsourced article writing/submitting service to some 300+ article directories. However, after paying, and having submitted my first assignments to these "virtual" teams, all has gone pretty quiet. Has anyone had experience with this service, and could you recommend whether I should stick around, or ask my money back and go elsewhere?
I also subscribed. Big mistake!! I asked if they could do a certain type of site and it took a week for an answer "yes. Now put in your job". I did so and it has been another week - still no answer. I then asked if a job was in progress, could some of the money be rolled over to the next month without losing it (they do not allow roll-over). I was told "to keep the webmasters busy". If you find out how to get your money back - Please Let Me Know!! Thanks!!
I have actually gone ahead and canceled my subscription payments at Paypal, as the service and communication is not acceptable. Insofar as refund goes for month 1, they do not do refunds, but requested me to use up the allocated hours and articles for the month, which I am going to be making sure happens.
Hopefully you won't end up with half done jobs that are of no use. That's what I'm afraid of. If there are any "Friendly Webmasters", I have not heard from any of them.
