Some affiliates are worth helping – I had an affiliate who brought in players via poker clubs (word of mouth etc).
Our designer made him a site, and he learned SEO, HTML etc etc. Now’s he’s pretty big and making 5 figures every month.
He took 2 years to learn it all but it’s worth it as I always get prime exposure on his sites due to helping him out.
I have had a handful of affiliates who have pestered me till the cows came home – I have learned just to be quite blunt now as I don’t have the time to basically run an affiliate site for them (I might as well do it myself!).
Well done on sorting it Renee, the guy will either give up now or educate himself (the latter being preferred obviously). Sometimes being cruel (I definte cruel here as subtle letting down) to be kind is better.
I’m going to have to eat my words here…. didnt get rid of him at all.. he tried calling me again yesterday.
OK so, Star Partner – gave him so much info that it was coming out my ears, so no lack on that part.. The guy has parkinsons, so when I told him to join CAP, he said he couldn’t because it takes him far too long to type. This was also the answer when I told him that instant messenger might be a better option to chat because I was having trouble understanding him… In my last email I also told him if he needs any more info to email me rather than call as I am rarely at my desk.
So ignoring all that he has still tried calling..
Chris – I think you know when you start talking to someone if they have the capability to do this or not.. I really dont think this guy does.. Unfortunately i think its because of his disability and the fact that he is relying far too much on me and others to “do it for him” rather than doing it himself.
You can only lead a horse to water – you can’t make him drink, as they say.
I’m pretty satisfied to put this one in the ‘not going to happen’ pile though…
Star Partner – I will happily give him your phone number if you want to try to help him :roflmao:
