Rev share is a LONG TERM partnerhip because of the rebills so these things are more important.
Let's not be naive here either. There's a reason over the years the program owners have prospered while their affiliates have been destroyed. It's because they are effectively now getting 85% of the revenue the affiliate generates as opposed to 50-60%. Between the cross sales, cam upsells in the member area, shabby tracking, mailings and these other things, that's what we have today with many programs.
and I'll split your hosting and design fees, if you'll agree to split mine!  
You have a good weekend also. |
As I 100% also agree 50/50 revshare should be a strong partnership, and the program owner should try hard to keep the rebills comming in.
Programs have become greedy, then it also turned into survival, with all the tubes and big programs offering everything for $1.99.
I have worked for program owners, and of course I am an affiliate, so I see both sides.
Again, not all programs have upsells, cross sales, and so on.
Just remember you wont change how a program operates, so promote the ones you think no matter what the marketing makes you the most money.
There is no answer to this, since every program has many different ways they run things, bottom line is the amount of your checks for amount of clicks sent.
Oh there is a lot more bills than the few I listed, I was just giving an example.
I think Program owners should be thier own best affiliate so they can see.
and if affiliates think it is so easy, why not start your own program.
If you are not making what you should with a program, why keep sending traffic?
