affiliates and spamming - is it done?

Hello to all!

May I ask: What is your definition of spam? Is it receiving one email per day from one person? Or finding loads of emails every day from supposedly different marketers? Then you discover,  when you really decide to dig into where they come from, that they are ALL from the same marketer, although he/she may be behind affiliates?

I'm afraid this happens to annoy me. I know: You must have different streams to make some money;  that I also know. But, if I join one person's list, this does not give them the right to hand out my email hell, west and crooked to anyone else, even if it is a starving affiliate to get them started. And, no matter that

I also know, human beings are the laziest creatures on the face of the earth. Don't reinvent the wheel, blah, blah,blah. But you do not have to turn into lemmings either. You have no idea how infuriating this is, or maybe you do. But this approach is liable to end BOTH of you wiped from someone's Email list.

Please, people, when you get started, DO NOT feeds your affiliates any or part of your lists. It gives affiliates a bad name indeed, as well as you. Okay, you want to help others, which is fine. But don't think that others will appreciate a pile of affiliates almost spamming, in order to get one order. With me, it does not work.

I consider, if you have affiliates, THEY can find their own clients. really, they should. Like baby birds who follow their mother around, squeaking and waiting for her to drop a titbit into open jaws. Sooner or later, Mum gets sick of this and flies off, leaving the baby to fend for itself.

This is what you should do with your affiliates. By all means, pay them what they are worth, or come up with.  But make them earn it, not ride on your shoulders or program. It doesn't really take long to put together a report( short and sweet) on anything related to the product, and put it out there for anyone to grab. You will get far more trust this way, and build your list honestly.

If you have to, buy some PLR relating to the product or service, alter it a little bit( I know, I know, work!) and put it out. Using straight-out PRL is just not the done thing though. Half an hour's work  with one piece of PLR will grab attention far faster  then if you simply slap it out as is.

There are millions of potential buyers. They also know that there are potentially millions of marketers, so they may just check around. After all, if you want fresh produce, you will quite likely shop around for the freshest and cheapest, won't you? And if they see the same PLR as is one several wide-spread websites, then they may decided not to buy from those sites ever again, because they know they will only be getting someone who is only interested in money, and that is the last impression you should give them.
