The Wild West of the Internet
Welcome to the Wild West of the Internet: The Diet Pill Industry
The internet revolution sparked a gold rush to pursue the American Dream online. In most markets the contest for King-Of-The (Cyber)-Hill has been established. To search we “Google”. We get our books on Amazon and movies on Netflix. We browse clips on YouTube and socialize on Facebook.
But there is no “King” of the diet pill industry, even though it feeds the demand of millions of overweight multinational customers each month. Why?
Major companies with the clout to bully the “little guy” away are afraid of major lawsuits (Phen Phen, ephedra, etc.). Which means anyone and everyone can formulate a diet pill, slap a label on the bottle, and do business online. But with no sheriff in town, the industry has become the Wild Wild West of the internet.
In the Wild Diet Pill West, sifting through the false claims, deceptive marketing, and fraudulent billing can be a real challenge. Furthermore, when a product does have bad reviews, it’s often the other companies trashing the perfectly good product to promote their own.
The solution? Become educated. Our research on the industry is published and open for your discussion. Please read our articles and watch our videos, and let us know what you think.
