Ryan Deiss’s Triple MeltDown
Man, I totally felt sorry for Ryan Deiss yesterday when his servers crashed almost as soon as his launch for Continuity Blueprint began. If you watch the video, it was about the load balance on the servers. He was in contact with the hosting company before the launch and planned out everything, except… CRASH!
Then, they got the servers up, but they couldn’t get the payment processor server to work for FOUR hours!
What helped was that he was able to embed his UStream broadcast in his home page. And out of 851 shows on Ustream, his was number 1. Something about people watching a train wreck?
Poor Ryan was on almost five hours answering questions.
You can still get in at Continuity Blueprint, and Ryan is offering a special training about using UStream TV to boot. Call it an unannounced bonus.
Makes you glad you’re an affiliate marketer in a way. As an affiliate, you don’t have to worry too much about all that. It’s someone else’s system, you just tell your list about the great stuff they have to offer and get money. How simple is that?
I’ve been on the inside of big launches, and they’re insane. Lots of fun, but really, really stressful for everyone in the company. Guess what? We’re about to do it again. Stay tuned.
