I had offered to run her sites for 20%, and everyone here knows that that is basically NOTHING compared to the work involved. I was content knowing that I'd have some new exclusive sites in my portfolio that would draw in affiliates who might promote my other sites. She wanted new tours, and new member's areas. I agreed, signed the contracts and sent them her way. I spent two weeks building new member's areas and hired someone to do new tours. I hadn't heard from her in a few days and one morning work to a message that she'd found someone new and he did her a new tour overnight. She didn't care that I had put two weeks worth of work into her sites and our agreement.

Her partner or whatever he is, Dennis, took forever to get anything done to assist us in the move. I'm sure he was in a similar position as he had been doing all the work for her and she wasn't satisfied with the results, so she was moving on. I'd have probably told her and anyone new she was working with to go fuck themselves too! This seems to be how she thinks things can work.

If Tracy had any clue how this business works, she wouldn't be struggling or constantly trying to sell off her sites.
