No, I see what happened.
The woman I brought on to run the network, Dee from Canada had been working on the sites for over a month in exchange for 40% off the top when the sites begin to increase in sales. She redid the affiliate section and posted on some forums but explained that she couldn't do much else until she redid the members areas, saying they werent good enough for webmasters to promote as they are.
I told her that I wasnt going to pay her until I started seeing things changing and the sites began to grow again. (I spent two weeks submitting galleries and my sales shot to $500 a week easily) My sales barely went up at all after over a month of Dee "working" on things. She told me not to send her money until she was done with everything and the sites began to sell more.
Weeks later I sent her a message asking her what was up and she began to flip out on me. I wasnt paying her, she didnt do TGP submissions and that it was someone elses job yadda yadda. Excuse and complaint after another.
Days later I contacted her again to see if she had calmed down enough to talk and sort things out. More insults, bashing, irrational conversation, you name it. Everything but clear answers and progress. It began turning into a nightmare. So I finally decide, I'm done. I can't work on the sites myself for reasons explained above and I cant trust anyone else to do what they say they will. So, I post here that I was willing to sell it.
Dee began flipping out on me again saying I'm screwing her over ating crazy and irrational, more insults the whole nine. I tried explaining to her that I wasn't screwing her but she was leaving me no choice. The members areas hadn't been done or anything. So she begins telling me its been sitting on her hard drive and she just hadn't done anything with it yet. As if I'm supposed to know. To make this story short, Dee is simply out of her mind and impossible to work with. She made huge promises and never delivered anything but insults and chaos.
Last night I told her I was selling the network and to tell me what she wanted to be paid. For an hour I asked her repeatedly. She would never answer, always avoiding the question with more cry babying and irrational behavior.
I have the entire chat log I can post here if anyone cares.
Since then, she has taken it upon herself to take away the affiliate system she built (which is fine by me), but whats odd is she never had it running from my systems to begin with...
The whole situation has been a shady and dark experience with someone I truly can't believe exists on this planet. I thought people like her were only in movies.
Now she is saying this is in a lawyers hands? Shes trying to make this sound much bigger than it is and her efforts are futile. All she has done at this point is cancel any chances of making any money at all off of my selling the network. If she tries to take this further by doing anything else shady, she will know what a legal enema feels like.
