Default Fail

Years ago in this very forum, I said this loser pothead chick was trouble....

Quote:
Sorry and we want to pay everyone back!!!

First off I am sorry that I shut down our affiliate program! Some new business ventures well they failed and the sites were not making a lot of money so there was no money to pay anyone. I guess in the end things didn't go as planned as they sometimes do for us this was the first and it hit hard. We of course panicked and this was wrong! We are still not making a lot of money but we have decided the right thing to do is to pay everyone back. This will take some time of course so please be patient everyone will get there money. We are starting with our top affiliates and moving down the line. Freeones will be paid first as they were our top affilaite and we will move down the line from there. We will pay past owed money first and then figure out your rebills that you can't see since we shut down the program after everyone is paid. I hope some of you will decide to promote us again after you are paid but if not we do understand.

Thanks, Shane and Melissa

Never pushed her site, just didn't care for her attitude. It made me uneasy.

Yeah, I could practically write a thesis on the "amateur girl" product life cycle and how they ultimately get arrogant and fuck it up in a multitude of different ways.

Sooner or later, they all go crazy as hell...

She's jumped the shark. Let me translate that message...if you're a big affiliate, you will probably get some of your money if you agree to send sme fresh traffic. If you're the guy sending a sale or two per week, she couldn't give a rat's ass...

I think she actually believed she was Melissa Midwest. I have always thought that to do well, you have to have a "character". You plant the seeds, develop it over time, suspend disbelief, and never believe your own press releases.
After all, we are first and foemost in the entertainment business.
And never get high on your own supply.

So far its working.

Yup, age seems to help too. The younger they are, the shorter the shelf life.

First of all I bet it's not her, probably Shane as it was probably him posting the whole time from day 1.

What makes the Melissa Midwest debacle even more amusing then most train wrecks is how they are back now claiming they want to pay everyone. No one cares what you "plan on doing" so announcing that you *want to pay* everyone back is totally useless. The proper way to handle it would be to pay people back and then make an announcement that everyone was paid, and of course you would have most of those people popping in thanking you and singing your praise. But again we dealing with total amateurs so they will continue to do things the wrong way.

The original situation and excuse to not pay people because they "didn't have the money" was comical. You had the money, you chose to keep it and spend it on your own bills. You realize now that you actually need affiliates but ut oh, you burned that bridge and apparently you are too stupid to go out and get your own traffic. Which, to be honest I think they would be retarded for paying people back at this point. It's a losing proposition, most people aren't going to promote you again even if they got paid and to new potential affiliates the PR damage is already done. The best thing they could do would be to work out some deals with big tube sites and they would do well from that, but again we dealing with stupid people who drop tons of cash on stupid movie videos.

Not to mention if the bitch really wanted to make some money she should be stripping 4-5 nights a week and spending the rest of her time working on MFC, streamates etc. If I looked like she did I could easily whore my body out 24/7 for 6-12 months and pay the house off with cash instead of crying about needing money and not being able to pay the mortgage. What a lazy waste of perfectly good T&A and her clock is ticking, she better use it quick before it's gone. In another 5-10 her only options will be working fast food or turning tricks.

I guess I spend way too much time on ultra niche sites, I never heard of her. I've never pushed teens, babes or general hot chicks stuff, way too over saturated.
