Thanks for your comment. I'm at a loss as to how to respond. I'm show casing my startup that is a referral marketing app. Of course, the demo that I set up for it will be about referral marketing too, no?

Don't worry about it, a lot of techies are just grumpy about the very idea of marketing, because they think the world would be a better, purer place without it. They're obviously wrong. Carry on!

Those same idealist techies who hate marketing are the ones who wrote all that wonderful FOSS that these marketing hacks use day-in-and-day out to make the web a shittier place.

Don't be an asshole.

I'm not, it's a lame ass idea. There isn't even a demo on the page. Plus, you'll get penalized by Google once they catch on. Scammers gonna scam.

Wanna make extra cash in your spare time working from home?
