D-Day as in Damp Squib

Well, NPC's sign-up deadline came and went, but unbeknownst to them I was suffering the worst bout of sickness in living memory.  I started throwing up at a round 04:30 and continued intermittently for the next five or so hours until my stomach was completely empty.

Not a pretty site.

It was very late morning before I was together enough to even sit in front of the computer, let alone switch it on.  When I got around to my 'other' email account there they were.  A few 'gentle reminders' that I was running out of time to sign-up for the $1 trial.

There was a mail from the other guy I sent my affiliate link to.  He said he's signed-up and it looked pretty good.  Whatever he learns I wonder if it will be anywhere as rewarding as for the affiliate that sent him there.

I wish him luck.

One thing I can't get over, they didn't offer their course to their affiliates.  They stated how they had picked up 2,000 paying customers in the first launch - a large number of whom I suspect must be affiliates for this launch judging by the number of back-links.  Oh I've answered my own puzzle there haven't I?  2,000 signed-up for NPC1 who went on to become the affiliates for NPC2.

Throw up single page sites that offer to give you the inside on the plan but really only back-link to the sign-up page ensuring you earn your commission via cookie tracking.  You will have learned how to build the sites from our videos and we'll host them as part of your plan.  Couldn't be simpler really could it?

They must give their members something that they want (or at least perceive that they want), I can't imagine people paying $800 for nothing more than the idea of value.

Oh well.

On a different not my Last.FM scrobbler has stopped listening to Winamp.  Fucking thing.  It would've been interesting reading too as I was giving junior a musical history of 70's pop, with an explanation of Punk and how and why it came about.  I then continued being musically self-indulgent while she ran off to watch Tom & Jerry.

I take my second Tamiflu tomorrow.

Welcome to the disappointment

We can't both be right, it's probably me.
