One prominent Internet Marketer actually sent me an email *on Christmas Day* selling me more of her stuff…UGH…couldn’t delete that one fast enough! Perhaps it’s your chance to begin teaching Internet Marketing sales etiquette~what a concept! Seriously, there’s a time to sell and a time to back off.

No one enjoys being taken advantage of. In fact, most of us find it very distasteful. I happen to be a big Karen Swim fan from way back!

I don’t need to know that you’re at the market, at the gas station, at work or on the train. Essentially, what bothers me about social media apps, though the tide is growing in support of it, is the redundant inclusion of features support by other apps in an effort to become the market leader.

I will be honest I am an affiliate marketer and Twitter has been great for me. If it seems like all they want to do is market something to me, I don’t follow them. Your points are all so true. I was very reluctant to get into using Twitter. However you wont find me spamming the site with links every 30 seconds.
