You're also talking about an industry where most affiliate programs and a ton of affiliates firmly believe that content has nothing to do with making money. These are the same idiots that refuse to put money into buying content from shooters like myself. They flat-out refuse to do something unique. They want the same fucking content everyone else already has. Silvercash told me "that's not our business model." EpicCash told me the same thing. I've heard the same story from dozens of programs that I've approached directly.
So if converting initial joins and having sites that retain isn't the business model, then what the hell IS your business model? Cross-sales, up-sells, and banner farms in the members area? You think that's a lasting business model? Just watch them get steam rolled. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when...
Trying to sell content to these guys is like banging your head against a brick wall. They just simply do not understand what they're missing.
"Knock Knock"
Silvercash: Who's there?
Content: It's content. I'd like to give you money.
Silvercash: We don't need any more money. We've already got enough.
Content: Really? Are you serious?
Silvercash: Absolutely serious. We have way too much. Go away.
Really makes me wonder.
