I'm not in a bad mood today, honestly, but I was thinking about how there are some things that really annoy me about Internet marketers, and marketing on the Internet in general. I can't wait for you to chime in, but I'll go ahead and go first since I've already been thinking about it.
Here are some of my pet peeves in IM:
* Emails from marketers telling me they're going to post to their blog tomorrow.
I don't have time to waste reading emails telling me to watch for tomorrow's email. Oh, I know why they do it... they're trying to build anticipation. Not only does it waste my time, it makes me feel like a bit like a lab rat in an experiment.
* Okay, this makes me more than annoyed - finding my articles on a Made-For-AdSense site with the links removed.
Or they've spun my article so it makes no sense and taken out the links. Enough on that, I can feel my blood pressure going up.
* I also get peeved when I get email after email from all the gurus when a big launch by one of their friends is happening.
I know these marketers sometimes give some great information, that's why I remain on their lists, but nowadays I only hear from them when they want to promote a big (expensive) launch.
