Boy Was I Ticked Off…
Yeah. So, I’m an affiliate for the Internet Marketing Center, and they were having a huge launch today of an awesome product with a bunch of prizes that I knew I’d never win, but was hoping for a little cash out of the deal, you know? I mean that’s what affiliate marketing is about.
So, I wait for an announcement all day that the site’s live, and I’m thinking there are some launch problems, no big deal. But around 3:30, I get this message saying that they’ve sold almost all their packages. And if people want them, they’d better hurry up.
Well, crap. I mailed out twice with presale messages and I really don’t like to disappoint my list. That’s not good biz, eh? So, I figure I missed out on the email. I was busy today, but no, nothing in my inbox. So, I went over to the site to see what was going on and it says something about almost being sold out already, so we’re not giving you any promotional materials.
How do you like that?
Well, I don’t generally use other people’s promotional stuff. I like to tailor it, if I do, but that just said to me, Forget it. We had the big guys promoting this and you don’t need to bother…
That was kind of maddening, eh?
Made me look like a total fool to my list, too.
So, I mail out anyway, and tell them, OK, you probably can’t get this as I PROMISED you. I SAID you’d get a chance to check this product out, and I knew it was great. BUT, well…
You probably can’t get it.
Wasn’t a ploy. Was the truth. I have no idea if they even had a chance to get the product.
But I’ll bet they did.
Yep. My loyal followers got there in time. Good on them. They’ll be glad they did.
I guess I’m not as pissed off as I was.
