Huey Lee and Simple Niche Websites Review

What’s my feeling about Huey Lee’s Simple Niche Websites? Well, unless you don’t have a problem with being unethical and pretending to be someone you’re not, then go right ahead. But, if you have some sense of being ethical and honest, I wouldn’t waste my time or money.

I lost money because Huey wasn’t being upfront. And I’m surprised because Huey usually puts out good products.

Let me explain.

I ordered the *free website* from Huey at SimpleNicheWebsites.com. What I discovered immediately after submitting my contact information (or “Registering” as they say) is that I had to buy hosting. No problem because every website needs hosting. That’s just a normal cost of doing business online. I could live with that.

But I had to use THEIR hosting company, even if I had one already. Huey’s site said in bold letters - NO EXCEPTIONS!

So I said, “OK. What’s another few bucks out of my pocket since I’m going to be making more than enough profit?”

Now their site says the hosting is only $5.95/month. Well, that’s not entirely true because the hosting company will not let you start at $5.95 a month. They want a full year’s fees upfront - $71.40. So yes, if you divide the $71.40 by 12 months you get $5.95 per month, but Huey’s website is purposely misleading in this area.

I pay the $71.40 because I have it and I get a “free” domain, too. (Notice I have the word “free” in quotes. You’ll see why that isn’t true later.)

Now here’s the part that made me upset because it lacks true ethics and honesty. My website is installed by Huey’s programmers and I get the ads that I’m supposed to use to advertise this new “Dating Guide” website.

The ads have you pretending to be a woman named “Crystal” and you are placing these ads in the Personals section of classified sites like Craigslist and others. The ads are designed to have men emailing you and asking more about “you” as “Crystal”

Then you’re supposed to email them back and basically say, “If you want to know more about me, buy this Dating Guide book and learn what kind of man I’m looking for and maybe we can get together.”

After I read that I said, “What?! You’ve got to be kidding me!! What kind of crap is this?!”

If you haven’t figured out what made me mad, then let me spell it out for you.

1. I’m a man. I am not a woman and don’t want to be. I am not going to pretend to be some woman named “Crystal” who is half my age just to make a few bucks. Now I know there is a fringe society of men out there who are like that - but that’s not me!

2. So let’s say (God forbid) I don’t have a problem pretending to be a woman - now what? What’s happens when Joe Blow decides to buy the “Dating Guide” book and then wants to meet (me) as Crystal? We have a big problem!

3. What if Joe Blow discovers he’s been lied to and gets so angry he wants to find me for deceiving him into buying a book he didn’t want AND pretending to be a woman I’m not? We have a big problem!

4. What if Joe Blow is a serial rapist (I know I’m being extreme, but in today’s society anything is possible) and he finds out where I live? Remember, he’s mad because he bought a book to find a woman. It turns out the woman is not REALLY a woman. His testosterone is flying high and he’s mentally unstable because he’s a serial rapist. We have a big problem!

And all of this because we told a “little white lie.” (It’s really a big FAT lie!)

Ok, I’m done with that crazy scenario, but there’s more I’m mad about.

So after I get over being mad for a moment, I decide to cancel my hosting and get my money back. Well, the hosting company had no problem in cancelling my account and refunding my money, yet they had one caveat - they charge a $20 fee for registering the domain and its non-refundable.

What?! Yes, non-refundable. It says it in their Terms and Conditions. You know, the part no one ever reads when they buy something.

So instead of me getting my $71.40 back, I’m only going to get $51.40 back. Their website said the domain was “free” when I bought the hosting. Another lie.

So now I’m out $20. Now it’s not the money because I can get by with losing $20. It’s the principle of it all. Lies, lies, lies and more lies.

I have emailed Huey Lee a number of times asking for my $20 (since I feel he and his company misled me) but I haven’t heard back from him/them.

Like I said earlier, I’m really surprised by Huey because he usually puts out good stuff.

Tell me what you think. I would love to hear it.
