I own a very new, very small business selling underboob sweat protectors.

This morning I posted an offer on my page. It wasn’t a big offer but it was a saving. We’re talking a £1 saving here. Trust me, that’s important information.

I get a comment on my offer: “if you can afford to post offers like that, why don’t you just drop your prices? 🙄”

I’m horrified. I don’t understand what the motivation was behind it… I don’t think my prices are unreasonable at all and I’m not sure why someone would say that?

    I run ads to a $47 marketing course on ChatGPT. Ha, some of the comments… honestly, they kind of ruin my day. It’s frustrating, but I also get that…

    - lots of scepticism in my industry (online business/ marketing)

    - people are in weird moods

    - it’s super easy to just quickly write an annoyed comment on a post/ ad and move on with your day

    If they’re just being assholes (omg anyone teaching AI or marketing is a scammer), I delete.

    If there’s a genuine way for me to respond, or I get where they’re coming from, I respond.

    With an eyeroll emoji, they’re just being a dick haha. Delete and move on ;)

      What’s the title of the course? How to scam suckers out of $47 over some nonsense you can learn for free from a million vetted sources online?
