One of the things that is synonymous with working in online affiliate marketing is constant setbacks. I don’t mean major dramas – I’m talking about the constant waiting and disruptions to working schedules.
Let me use this weekend as an example. My sites have been down for most of the weekend because of my pathetic hosting. I have all my sites hosted on Skynet because I can have all of them in one account and I can have different c-class I.P’s if I like.
These guys are really beginning to piss me off though. I sent a message with a critical status to them and they never replied. I sent another one and they replied. You would think this would be a good thing right? Wrong. They basically told me to shut up and stop causing a fuss. it was a routine server reset. They said they do it on the weekend as that is when they are quietest.
So it seems they must have been doing this for the last four days because my sites have been down each of these days. Ha ha.
OK that is enough of my rant. What I am trying to say is this though. In this industry you have to be resilient. That mean adapting to change and taking everything in your stride. You can’t depend on any variable. At the flick of a switch our world can be turned upside down and it is the ones that deal with this best who strive forward in leaps and bounds.
I hope everyone had a good weekend. I’m heading to the coast now. I’m really looking forward to it because I will get a ton of work done without any distractions.
P.s I just got tickets to ACDC in Sydney next year!

I hate SkyNet. Left them instantly after heaving a similar type of conflict with them!
I have been using Skynet for a couple of my smaller sites and they are down at least a couple of times a week for as long as they have been hosted there. I will never ever use them again.
Any host will give you different C classes for a couple bucks a month, I’d lose these guys ASAP.
Thanks for the advice about Skynet. I signed up with them but havent got a site live on their server yet. Will for sure stay away.
