Hey Kathy,
I understand fully, my entire team has been upset by this because several of us have been working on training one on one. Your forum here is exactly what Mary said to do in the mean time is to improvise and create your own system. Every affiliate gets the e-mail address of their 1st level sent to them, so asking your 1st tier to sign up for a responder or be added to a e-mail list is not unreasonable, and takes the pressure off them.
The main concern arose out of the fact the members were not able to stop messages on demand without stopping all messages from corperate too. That created a liability for IYN. As long as each individual has a choice to not recieve your mailings, you have more freedom using your own system anyhow.
I also agree that the ability to share promotion tools as well as the ideas is benificial, many members don't know much about successful promoting, or where to advertise, some are in their very first venture. Without our help these folks will be stuck in 4 lower return traffic exchanges and fighting every other IYN affiliate to pull members from them. The training on site is not the best, and you and I both know it takes more eliments than traffic exchanges alone to make for a great promotion.
I am glad to see you have taken initiative and are jumping in and finding other ways to help your team. You do a great job Kathy, and Aaron too.
