Very true. How does a person sell a product without knowing what the product really is about, the buyers needs, how the product fits the needs, etc. He sends 1,000s of hits.

So how would you Rochard know a niche you're not familiar with, know what is good or bad content for that niche, know what the devotees of that niche want from the content? Maybe this doesn't apply to you, yet how many others push niches they have no idea about?

And then why should a sponsor give you a members area pass and not to every other affiliate. Without you proving you are one of the elite who deserve it?

A good way to judge the content in the members area, is from the samples, from free stuff already out there. How much and how often it's updated will tell you the likely hood of saturation of affiliates content.

Not give freeloaders access to even more of the members area content so they don't have to buy.
