Cancelled Membership to the Program Owners
I just got one of those "Somebody Killed Themself" emails and was so sickened by it that I unsubscribed from the service completely.
I got a reply that it was a FREE program and I had not upgraded - as if that is an excuse for lack of taste - and I would have received the same email had I been a paid or free member. Then they ran off 40 excuses for the email (being someone else's affiliate, it seems, is reason enough to have no taste or common sense). It was also pointed out to me how many people subscribe to their service - I guess monkey see monkey do is good enough for some folks. As long as there are subscribers, who cares if they haven't one whit of class.
Well here it is on a plate. I never upgraded my service to paid because the stats were showing me that the service was basically useless. IF a lot of your affiliates upgrade Kudos to you and sorry for their luck if they just paid into a service that, likewise, isn't delivering for them.
The only reason I kept my account open at any rate was because I found also, that when I opened my own products to affiliate sales, I thought the service might come in handy for recruitment and would have at that time actually paid into the system.
After that email, however, I realized that if the affiliate troops gained from that service were actually falling for such tactless marketing techniques, that I might end up with more headaches from affiliates who had no clue how to reasonably market my products than my time or money were worth.
You may be very self-satisfied with your techniques and the resulting bankrolls resulting from them. I am not impressed and am glad to have cut my alliance, whether you care one whit if I left or not.
Continued success to you. I feel my best interests have been served and while my bankrolls may never equal your own, I will have the peace of mind of knowing that I run a class act, and for some people masses of money just can't cover a conscience or the resultant clean up efforts of affiliates with no idea of marketing with integrity.
