The cons would be counting the money that your affiliates are working hard to earn you and themselves

Stress is one of them.

just be ready ... it's a 24 hour a day job ... I've never worked harder in my life to get mobbucks rollin ... Customer service and building custom material for people can take lots of time ... just be sure your up for the challenge and good luck ...

Honestly... maybe Im just lucky but my affiliates rarely cause me stress.
Every now and then I get an asshole but for the most part they're allright.

I agree .. never stress unless someone needing something fast with little notice stresses you out ... but our affiliates give us great feed back and really help to improve the program as a whole ...

Just start out small, minimize the drama. Use CCBill's in-house kiddie system while building out your galleries, promo gear, tours, etc. Get feedback from the small numbers of affiliates you'll have initially, make changes, etc.

It's all hard work, but lately a few affiliate programs started out trying to be NastyDollars out of the gate, and it overwhelmed them. One brick at a time, and research research research.

Where are we going to see your girlfriend in front of the lens Mike?

Or would you like me to just upload the footage I have from when we were together?

It takes tons of investments and many many hours of working. It's really a 24/7 job
