Ya’ know, I’m an online business owner so I’m all for internet marketing. And I understand the value of sending out a notice to one’s list to let them know about special deals, to announce new products, to promote an affiliate product, etc., etc.

But what I can’t stand is when an internet marketer sends me umpteen emails (all within a matter of days) promoting a particular product or service.

This recently happened with Joe Vitale’s new “Hypnotic Marketing” coaching program. Not only did I receive numerous emails (from him as well as others) that talked about the program, but I also received several more telling me that I needed to “act fast” because the deadline was approaching.

And then, once the deadline had passed, I received MORE emails telling me how “lucky” I was because the deadline had been extended and X number of openings remained. And (oh boy!) if I acted quickly, I could sign up!

And it didn’t stop there. This morning I received yet another email telling me that I had only 2 hours left to sign up.

Good grief!

Maybe this is part of Joe’s ‘hypnotic’ teaching, but I’ll say this much. These type of tactics certainly don’t hypnotize me into action.

How do you feel about this type of internet marketing? Leave a comment and share your experiences.
