Generally what I do these days is sign up for the sponsors I might use at the begining of a project and not at the end.
You're not going to get a good answer as to why people do this. You're going to get people like Paul who have never made sales and have no real affiliates of their own. You're probably not going to change anybody's mind either. People are stubborn and once they've decided that's the way they want to do things, especially in this business, you're just wasting your breath trying to change their mind.  |
Run your own program for a while and then you'll realize where you are wrong.
Like DWB said, affiliates are are serious about making money with a good program aren't going to let something like manual approval and human interaction stop them from doing so. In general, the one's who have a problem with it are the ones who spend more time crying on messages boards than they do working to make money.
I'm not going to apologize to anyone for choosing to run my program how I want. I'm not going to sit around kissing ass hoping some loud mouth troll on a board will promote my program. There is a reason that our company has only ever had a problem with a single individual over the past 6 years.. and that individual is a mental case and wasn't an affiliate anyway.
And that's simply the bottom line. I have enough faith in my brand that I don't need to go kissing ass and begging to make money. Like I said twice now, we have more than doubled our bottom line in 2011 from 2010. And we're already off to a great start in 2012. Our active affiliates... those guys who actually make money, are happy with our program... and our top affiliates will be even happier in 2 months time when we release our new site to them.
Here's a simple suggestion. If you don't want to wait, go promote a lesser program. Then when you realize that they aren't converting, we'll be here.
