IMTW – Death By a Thousand Cuts

Internet Marketing This Week pocast is a mostly weekly podcast that covers what interests Ed Dale, Paul Colligan, Michelle McPhearson and Lynn Terry that week.  It is an interesting listen just to get to understand their personalities a little more, though a little light on”in depth” type information about internet marketing. Infotainment really.

The latest podcast (#12) has an enormous serving of irony with the chatty pie.

The majority of  the podcast covers people complaining about the content of the double-opted-in emails they receive when a large launch is underway.  Ed Dale is correct in saying “unsubscribe” to anyone that goes the greed road and floods you with that kind of crap (mind you that will mean MOST of the marketers, even the very best ones you subscribe to will fall to your sword- and GOOD I say).

The biggest peeve was signing up for one thing and getting another. Not letting those marketers push stuff at you that you didn’t agree to in the first place. Which is why it was refreshing when IMTW  launched to be told that the podcast will be pitch and plug free of the presenters businesses. Great stuff – integrity!  Information without sales. A glass of cool water in this burning landscape.

And then Ed Dale plugs Michelle MacPhearson’s latest launch.

Just a mention – but he did.
