There were warnings when you signed up. Let’s call them warnings because if you ignore them, that’s exactly what they’ll turn out to be.

And now it’s been filtered through, changed around…the rules as well.

I speak on Amazon Vine. When I signed up, you only had to review 60%. It’s jumped to 90%, and item variety has gone down. They’re following a fiscal calendar, which makes sense.

They’ve made it harder to stay in the program if you’re a pessimist. But going from checking performance every three months, to now twice a year…sounds like a piece of cake to me.

I’m more than half way to the next tier, and that’s within a month’s time. I’ve seen sloppy reviews, picture-less reviews…and ignorant reviews all around. And I kept wondering if Amazon would act.

I bring this up because how hard is it to do the right thing? It seems we want people to do well by us, but we can’t afford the same currency when it comes to our treatment of others. Opportunity will cease to exist if you think it’s ok to place bandaids over sidewalk cracks.

I am always appalled or surprised, but I really shouldn’t be.

It’s a job.

It is a lot of work. It requires a professional hand. The program is exclusive and it is not for the faint of heart…

Aim Higher

I recently checked on numbers for Snapchat. I hit 500k the night before last, and am well over.

I’m not sure how long it will take to hit 1 million views, but I’m excited and ready 😊 this has been incredible. Things have slowed down in my home, but I am aware at any point in time, my mom can have complications again. Currently, she’s tired and moving around a bit more. But took precautions last week, to ensure that when she does pass, everything is taken care of.

Thanks to everyone who reads and shares my blogs!
