Hey I got a idea for you, but ONLY if you can afford to do such idea. Get someone to clone a newer version of your site put it on a sub domain for affiliates to use. This way you keep what you want and you give your affiliates what they want. It is a win win.
*shrugs* Tis up to you and how much money you want to put back into your site. Please though DON'T get some designer that don't know how to design to sell but only knows how to sell to design. What I mean yes there are tons of great designers that make awesome looking sites but they don't know how to sell the content they designed the site for. So you're left with a pretty site and hardly if any sales.
Hope I was able to help.
TOM
