The web defines “Good” this way:
Good
noun
plural noun: goods
-
that which is morally right; righteousness.
-
benefit or advantage to someone or something.
-
merchandise or possessions.
Why Appreciate Goods?
When we first started, our definition of “Goods” wasn’t 1 and 2. It was plainly for 3. We wanted Appreciate Goods to be a General Review site, reviewing and promoting products to monetize and hopefully make some quick cash.
This was how it looks:
-
that which is morally right; righteousness. -
benefit or advantage to someone or something. -
merchandise or possessions.
That was how we came up with the name Appreciate Goods (or Appreciate merchandise, possessions, luxury, tangible things etc.) at first.
Our founder knows all about making money from a review site, he used to own a successful Watch Review site (the site was sold in August of 2016) and then he wanted to own a General Review site reviewing every popular product in the market to make more money (you can read about his story below) and that is how Appreciate Goods was born. It was a mistake…. but only at first.
Yes, we know. It’s not glamorous at all to start this page (especially this page) by sharing with you that our site initially was all about monetization and making money. But it’s true. You deserve to know the truth and us, as a company right now, wants to be as transparent as possible to the public (even sharing the details of our income in the near future. Trust us, there’s no income to share with you now at the time of writing this page – February 2017).
Appreciate Goods NOW
Appreciate Goods is all about sharing greatness, inspiring people and reminding readers to appreciate the little things. In short, we are all about spreading positivity.
It’s worth reading it again.
Our definition of Goods now resembles 1, 2 & 3.
-
that which is morally right; righteousness.
-
benefit or advantage to someone or something.
-
merchandise or possessions.
Good or Goods doesn’t have to be a tangible thing. It can be as simple as writing an article on Hot Vs Cold Showers.
The reason for this article is that we want to subtly remind readers to appreciate the little things and that we have a choice to choose between a cold and a hot shower any time we want.
Is a choice between a hot and a cold shower something we usually take for granted? I can somehow hear many Yeses!
Is having the ability to take a shower any time we want – whether a hot or cold shower – something we should be appreciative of? Yes but unfortunately, we are not doing it enough.
So there’s a reason for every article posted on Appreciate Goods. It’s no longer a site about reviews, tons of affiliate links and monetization. It’s about spreading positivity and reminding our readers to appreciate the little things.
“We removed close to 300 review posts in September of 2016 and got a very big slap from Google. We somehow got deindexed from the Google’s algorithm. Even at the time of writing this page in February of 2017, we haven’t fully recovered from it. Please pray for us.”
Another example we have is the article on Broccoli. A vegetable so common, cheap and underappreciated and yet we have so many things to write about to remind our readers to appreciate the goodness of Broccoli.
The internet already has a ton of information on Broccoli so why bother writing a new one?
Yes. But we don’t care what the internet is doing or has already done. What the internet does has nothing to do with us. We are we. We are us. And we want to play our part in spreading positivity. Even if there are only 100 views to the article on Broccoli, we are proud to have added something positive to the world. Most importantly, we are proud to stay true to who we are now.
