Agreed.

That is another thing people want. Even complete newbies with no skills, like an intern. They want me to give them a base salary, AND a percentage of the profits. Um, no. That is not how it works.

I had some people contacting me on that management offer I posted a week or so ago. Some contacted me and wanted to do it for a base salary, a hefty one. Others wanted a lower base, and percentage of the profits. Not one of the people who contacted me would do a sliding scale based on performance.

Keep in mind, this is not a company just starting out. Or going into new niches there is no landmark for. You are going into a successful company, and taking over assets already making money, with members and traffic. You just need to increase that.

So for some of these so called affiliate managers, traffic gurus, and alike. It would have been worth their while for a few hours a day, or a half day, taking on some more sites and doing the marketing and promotion end and taking a percentage of sales based on performance right?

Wrong.

Again, leading back to what I said before about entitlement. I want to get paid, and I want to walk into the perfect situation. But I do not actually want to WORK for it.

I can only image what the next generation will be like. You have to pay you kids to go to school. It becomes part of their allowance for the week. Or employees get paid a $10 spot just to show up for work daily.
