1. Your harping about Websites and how their affilaite program is ran yet, you don't even plan on using one yourself? Interesting to say the least.
2. As far as opening a website, maybe in my case I had a "little" more to offer than just the tech knowhow. Sounds more like you would rather just promote saturated programs. One of the reasons all the TGP etc are looking the same, cause they are all pushing the same programs.
Also, in opening the site I started it back in 2001. You could start a single site back then and do ok with it. Fortunatly, it became large enough to sustain itself over the years, but it would be almost impossible to duplicate today. The expense is just to great for the risk. EH will be the only site I do. It will always be my first and it will be my last. I guess you get burned out dealing with everyones hands out. I just think you have a sad point of view. You ignor all the creative, unusual sites out there, the smaller sites working to get by, for the larger mega sites. You really think that your not paying for that staff they have? You really think that they are taking less of a % from the sales you "Sent" them than some one me with a couple of extra ways for a surfer to signup? Give me a break. Everyone has to make a profit or we wouldn't be here. Promote the content that sells for you and stop whining about the little things so much. To call it "shaving" that dirty little word in our industy is stupid. It's not hidden. We are not trying to cheat you or fool you in someway. Shit in my case we dont have ANY popups, no consoles, no emailings. Nothing. A person gets to our join poage and either becomes a member or doesn't. End of story.
