I would suggest you work on content production and alliances with other links ( buy your own cheap hard links, work your own myspace, work your own video marketing for free on the tube sites they all allow you to submit on your own) and then do content deals and link exhanges with other solo girls close by ( Vegas, LA, Arizona, etc.... like JaneB for example or others that run their own site.) get with someone like Jace and set up your own blog, and trade with other style blogs, hell I am sure he can even help you with that , the fee for the service is way less than giving up a percentage. I mean if you want to be in sole control, then it is time for you to take control of yourself and your actions to improve your business, you said you are a business woman right ?

Then try to go after the surfer, rather than any new affiliates right now . people that want to promote you or did sales with you will come and search you out, others are not going to start promoting you at the present time anyway as they either already tried and didnt make any money/sales or they are not solo girl promotors, or they only have so much room and are promoting the ones they have done well with already, etc...... etc.... the reason can go on forever and I am sure you have heard a million excuses from so called " friends" as to why they are not actually sending sales already LOL

I mean people of course here will try to be nice to you to get in your pants, or think they can and all that shit... but seriously didnt you try that route already? did it get you the result you wanted? ( not saying you fucked anyone or care either way if you did or did not) I am saying dont worry about being on the inside crowd, and worry more about getting the surfers attention than the affiliate and you will do much better I think for yourself in the short run. Good luck to you, as Mike V said sometimes things just dont work out, doesnt mean anyone was " the bad guy" in any relationship it just means that that particular combination was not going to work for whatever reason and no reason to try to make it worse by fighting about negative shiot rather than spending your time and energy on what you really want and that is improving your bottom line and success right ? good luck to you.
