As most of you know—I’ve been in the online marketing space for a while now. I've built my following, and worked hard to be respected in this industry. I'm not writing this to flex. I'm writing this so you understand where I’m coming from. What happened with Brett Rutecky and his email platform iMail left me not just disappointed—but genuinely disgusted. When You Try to Build Bridges and Get Burned Instead If you’re in affiliate marketing, you know how important it is to build relationships. We all reach out, connect with product creators, and ask about potential JV or affiliate opportunities. Well, that’s exactly what I did during the iMail pre-launch webinar, hosted by Brett Rutecky and Mike from Maine. I asked a respectful, honest question during the live chat: "Hey Brett, I’d love to promote iMail. I’ve got a strong social following, have placed on affiliate leaderboards, and would love to support the launch—could I be considered for affiliate approval?" Pretty straightforward, right? I wasn’t pushy. I wasn’t asking for favors. Just trying to make a connection. But what I got back was a crass, pompous, and shockingly rude response from Brett himself. No joke—it was the kind of reply that makes your jaw drop. You could feel the arrogance through the screen. He spoke down to me like I was nothing. And here's the thing… If That’s How You Treat Affiliates, I Want No Part of Your Software I’m a big believer in mutual respect—especially in this business. Whether someone has 10 followers or 10 million, everyone deserves to be treated like a human. Unfortunately, Brett doesn’t seem to share that belief. His tone during the webinar wasn’t just dismissive to me—he came off abrasive to the entire audience. Which explains why I got hit with that same energy in private. It’s honestly wild to me. In a space like affiliate marketing, where relationships are everything, why treat people like garbage? I was ready to buy iMail. I was ready to promote it. But after seeing how Brett Rutecky engages with his potential partners?

My Facebook got hacked! Yep, over 15K following between the groups I had too. I will also be starting a new Facebook group, since those were all lost too. Unfortunately, I did not back up my groups (stupid me), but it is what it is. I learn from every obstacle and setback. And thank goodness most of my contacts I can access through here or my email list or my Instagram...but I did have a backup FB, so I would love for you to follow me there if you want to stay in touch. Use this knowledge as a lesson...don't rely on one platform, don't rely on just one income stream. Always have a backup! You just never know. Luckily, my DFY Build is my main supporter 😂. Every successful entrepreneur has setbacks, but it's how you rise above them that matters! Here's my backup Facebook, hope to see you soon! Drop me a line. https://facebook.com/mandaceo Love ya guys, thank you for your support! You can always email me too at [email protected]

🚨 What’s about to drop might be the most powerful thing I’ve ever released. And if leads, conversions, or getting to the buyer first matter to you… You do not want to miss this. This isn’t a course. It’s not another “traffic hack.” It’s a complete shift in how digital marketers and affiliates turn attention into income—in real time. I knew there had to be a smarter way. ✔️ Something faster. ✔️ Something more predictable. ✔️ Something that connects you directly to people who are already searching for what you offer—before they ever land on someone else’s page. ❌ No more chasing. ❌ No more hoping. Just showing up first. That’s what this is about. And if you’ve been waiting to see what’s coming, now’s the time to lean in. The pieces are falling into place. And what’s launching soon is going to flip the way we do lead gen—especially if you’re in digital marketing, affiliate marketing, ecom, a small business owner, or selling anything online. ✅ Watch the video. ✅ Drop “READY” in the comments if you want to be first to know when this goes live. Because what’s coming isn’t just a tool… It’s your edge. And I can’t wait to show you what it can do. https://youtu.be/qD1MsNtYf7s?si=ic8Con9nJO2-JZcj
