Thanks Brujah, other companies should do the same. Face it, if it wasn't for the affiliates, the sponsors wouldn't exist.
The high payout demand from the affiliates (of course I cannot blame them) has gotten us where we at today. You cannot have both though. You cannot have an extremely high payout program and not shave. It's simple math.
You can however have a profitable revshare program and still reward the affiliates nicely. The trick will be finding the right % on the revshare where the sponsors are making a profit, affiliates are earning some quality commissions and no one is having to shave or being shaved.
With the new visa regs in place. You will see more revshare programs in place. Sponsors that are in this for the long haul are looking for long term high profitable relationships. Not someone that is going to drive their chargeback ratio through the roof.
Eventually your going to see revshare programs decline and see one time memberships join take over to further reduce chargeback rates.
