There are a lot of "behind the scene" programs that make millions and don't have more than 20 affiliates and they are by invitation only.
At some point, smart business owners are going to sit down and see how much ROI they get for giving out $200 of free drinks and lap dances to someone who sends them 2 sales a month, in addition to the salaries and benefits they are paying employees to cater to the "little guys", plan lavish parties, etc.
I know 99% of the posters here don't want to hear this, but if a lot of these "companies" start actually acting like buisnesses and have P/L statements, etc., having small affiliates really won't be worth the effort.  |
i don't think most small guys care about or even go to parties/conventions. maybe the ones who want to play like something when they're not. they can cut all of that out and still have small affiliates. they can cut out large chunks of advertising and still have small affiliates. the current climate for recuiting people isn't how it always was.
also if companies only choose to work with big guys and zango, they're only stealing sales from the big guys. thats ok with you? and whales don't just appear from nowhere. sure a lot of the established guys are easy enough to find but you never know when the next 20 sale per day guy is gonna come from.
