Further, McDonalds never hauled ass with affiliate money. 
Charging affiliates seems like an act of desperation of a program that is planning
on failing.
And why would a crook who is going to steal $5k from your program give a shit
about using a stolen credit card to pay the affiliate fee and then hose you anyway? |
To be honest if your going to promote a site you would have some idea it would sell.
There are many new franchises that may or may not sell. But you pay as you think it will.
An affilite is a sort of franchiser. With white label sites even more so.
