I think an affiliate program and an affiliate complete each other. With a little bit of respect from both sides, things should work fine. I don't need statues, I don't need to be asked how are you, everything is working fine?. |
Yeah man, however some sponsors after so many years have build a SO STRONG BRAND, that they don't consider affiliates #1 priority nowadays...
They become BIG and HUGE thanks to affiliates, but after so many years of brand building they dont even care, they get lots of signups just from bookmarkers...
Imagine that every site there has 10,000 recurring members at least... 10 sites have 100,000 recurring members and lots of them come back directly to the site, over and over again, cancel and rejoin directly, or via a newsletter, or things like that.
In long term, the affiliate gets a very small piece of the pie, of the referred members he sent in year 2005 and that made the affiliate 200 bucks, and to the sponsor 2000 bucks... Its a win-win situation always for the sponsor.
BTW, what happened to the other guys? Tomitza, Eagle (dan), and others?
I remember all of you from the Vanished VB and ThinkReel.
