When you are in with the affiliates, and they jump onto each new site of yours, its a great thing, having all the remaining ones on your side is tough to do. Luckily when I got into solo, i had a few people who helped me out and I had a great model, which helped. There isn't nearly as many left but they also have left new good program owners giving them stuff so theyre excited when something new and good comes out. its still enough to take my sites to 300-500 active members a site

However affiliate sales do slow down after a while, as your models become well known and people just go back to your tour without going through affiliates or just google the models name and end up at at the tour. Either way affiliate sales always slow down when everybody already knows her (while organic sales rise), which makes it seem like affiliates dont do much but theyre the ones who get me to the place to begin with.
and to add to this post:

Regardless if they didn't send me alot (which they do), that type of attitude just sends you spiralling even quicker. Even if its worth an extra 5 percent, its worth doing beacuse if you had that attitude towards everything that adds 5 percent, you would end up doing none of them and your sales would drop a significant perentage. Doing every little thing you can do well is why my sites are still successful

I see that negative attitude with alot of people left in solo, who needs a good tour now, sales are lower, not even worth it, who needs fhgs now, its not even worth it, then they come out with something shitty and sales rreally suck and they say, i told you so. :/
