I don’t know how many of you are a part of a mailing list, but I am on a bunch of them. I join mailing list for the very few free bits of information that may be useful. I have also become a part of mailing list because of items or information I have purchased in the past. Being a part of those mailing list becomes a real nuisance once in a while because I just get plain old sick and tired of people always pimping something. I know you have to let people know about what you have to sell, but do you have to become an affiliate of ever Tom, Dick , and Harry and then pimp all of their crap too?

My problem with all of the pimping is that is makes these people seem like all they care about is the next dollar they can earn off of your back. Real world businesses are bad enough but Internet businesses are getting to the point that they look only at peoples wallets and don’t really care what is good for them. Constantly pimping other people crap through your mail list is not “customer service” as they would like to believe. The argument would be that how do people know they do or don’t need it if they don’t know it exists? My argument would be that if I need it I will look for it. And the people who earn my business are going to be the people with the best search marketing and long term business, not someone who threw together a product and had a bunch of affiliates send out an email about it.

Well that is my grip for today and remember that just because someone you may like or even halfway trust send you an email about a product doesn’t mean that they actually know what the product is or if it is even any good. Usually the emails are written by the person with the product and not the peson who sent the email.
