We were offline for a week and emails were being bounced. When we got back online they picked up where they left off. Live with it.

The problem is a very simple one with business. You can sit back and wait for it to come to you. Or you can go out there and get it.
The problem with sitting back is, as you will find out, they do not come. I am on the best boards all the time talking about business, pushing my product and discussing issues. Plus giving some incentives to buyers. And maybe passing on some of my experience in business and porn. Business is good.
Recently we had a "Marketing Whizz Kid" come here with the wares of two companies, one who readily admitted things were slow, the other could be the same. Did they spam the boards, did they hang our here or anywhere, did they ever get involved in agressively marketing their product. NO.
Now they are in the hands of a third party salesman who is not only discounting their product as much as he can, he's taking his slice of the cake. These were good companies with good products, this industry needs.
Another case is Amacontent, he makes a great product and did a deal with another guy who basically ripped the value of ths content to shreds. Most of his posts on this board have been about him trying to save a bad situation. he is now marketing here.
Why are these guys having to do this? Who knows.
But I don't have to and I spend a lot of time spamming. It's a fact of life. Don't do it and you risk going out of business, while the guy who does, stays in business.
It's the same with those who will not sign up for my content stores because I send out weekly emails telling them what is new.
Am I meant to upset the 100s of buyers I do have to please these one or two? They seem to think so, I will bet some of them don't want to sign up because they're kids with no sites and we would find that out.
