<p>Just minutes before launch she was in the process of activating her Buy Now buttons to all her pages and her internet connection (Virgin Media) went down.</p>
<p>Oh crap.</p>
<p>And it stayed down.</p>
<p>For 12 hours.</p>
<p>The traffic came (in the thousands) but people couldn&#8217;t buy the product.</p>
<p>Support desks were slammed, JVs were puzzled and prospects were foaming at the mouth desperate to buy her product (how to make hands-free money from Hangouts).</p>
<p>Worst part?</p>
<p>She was offline the whole time and unreachable&#8230;</p>
<p>Yikezillas.</p>
<p>Why not get to an internet cafe or a friend&#8217;s house?</p>
<p>Because she&#8217;s also a full-time carer and unable to leave the home at short notice &#8211; she&#8217;s a living legend this woman!</p>
<p>So anyhoo &#8211; now she is back in da game &#8211; all the pages are fixed and she&#8217;s off to the races again so&#8230;</p>
<p>See why my inbox was stuffed full of people to buy this yesterday and grab it before Branson takes it down again <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.1.0/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
