Yah, I focused for years as an affiliate on a few close relationships with a few big programs. One of those screwed me when they stopped paying (while continuing in business), a couple of others dwindled away to nothing due to changes in the business, the best of the remainder is stumbling along (and paid a big chunk of my monthly income into Epassporte VV the day those got frozen, fuck my life).

As an affiliate my focus has been on trying to diversify my income streams for a couple of years. It's not easy; at any given time, only a few things sell well, and it's much easier to focus on selling those things than to keep flogging a wide diversity of stuff that sells much less well.
