Your explanation proves the point 
Don't dispute it.
OWN IT 
BTW - if you're you as awesome and effective an affiliate rep as you say, why haven't you cut a deal paying you low six figures + commissions as a REAL affiliate rep to offset the declining revenues you've seen as an affiliate the past few years?
Seems to me you probably left at least half a million bucks on the table the past 2-3 years by doing what you do for "free" with the hopes of referral $ 
On a lighter note, you're holding up well on keeping it positive 
Keep up the good work! |
I guess I am not connected enough, I offered a couple times over the last couple years to do consulting work but I am not looking for a commitment that will lock me in time wise for a long period of time. While I have helped people with ClickCash over the years, I do so when I have available time. If I don't have time, I am not required to help and don't.
I am the type of person if you are paying me for something I am going to take care of you first. If I was getting paid a salary and got busy helping people, my personal income would suffer as I would be spending a lot less time on my own projects and advertising. So I don't mind helping here and there when I can for free because I don't feel obligated. I also have no desire to be an affiliate rep 24/7. Like I said I do it help out Clickcash more than anything, when I can, because they have paid me so well over the years.
If I was to spend any amount time doing anything where I would be paid I would much rather something more challenging like consulting for a larger cam site or company, not general affiliate support. I would be fine blocking out 4-5 days or even a week or so to spend 100% of my time with a company and provide them with consulting on how to make the company better and more profitable. I see that as more of a better fit for me. I can get away for a short people of time, give them the blue prints of what they need to do, and their people do it. I just check in from time to time to make sure it is being done right and to give them new ideas along the way. I don't see that as a time commitment that would interfere with my current projects and advertising.
I've made posts before offering to do consulting with a money back guarantee, if they didn't like what I came up with don't use it and don't pay me. I didn't get any takers. Either everyone already thinks they have it figured out and/or they don't think I can bring anything to the table, or both. Oh well, no skin off my back I don't need the money and would be doing it for more of the challenge and to break the monotony of my current day to day. So, I get to spend more time working on my own stuff since no one wants to pay me for my advice. Although it would have been fun to have a new challenge and a break away from my stuff for a week, hell something like that would feel like a vacation for me.
