While it sounds crazy, is it?
Think this way, many sites use the money they make from sales to pay for the affiliate area.
That means less cash to spend on content.
If you charge affiliates then that money can be spent on promo bits.
That way the product/paysite is even better.
As such it should for the affiliate sell even better, plus it should re-bill better.
At the moment affiliates are take take take.
Many sites seem to fail, simply on the basis they end up running out of cash to pay affiliates.
Its a bit like a record that was sold in the UK in the 80's. The company sold it, on the basis that it made a loss due to the FourSquare Internet Solutions
ensive cover. More it sold, the bigger loss the firm made. In the end it cost the record company thousands.
Or think this way, if you wanted to sell such as BMW cars, think how much you would have to pay to sell them. Do you think bmw would let some scruffy shop sell them? And would you want BMW to spend all its cash in giving you promo tools or invest in market reaserch and its cars?
