About your payments
Class Media pays affiliates on the 15th of each month. This is due to the fact that the research and administration of the payments take a lot of time. This is because of these reaons:
· Each month we get a lot of fake affiliates. They generate fake traffic and do automatic signups with stolen credit cards. Of course we see them coming from a mile away, but it still takes time to cleanup their mess.
· Many affiliates have up to 10 different names and aliases. Some of them have 5 different accounts at ClassAffiliates.com. But when it comes to paying them all these names and accounts fall together. This does not speed up the payments in general.
· Many affiliates have for example a Russian name, while living in Poland, having a bank account in the Czech Republic and a website in the US. We understand that you want to stay anonymous, but also please understand that this gives us a hard time figuring out which affiliate is a fake and which one is legit.
· Many fake affiliates have only one goal in mind: steal our content and upload it to cyberlockers. We have to block them out which takes time.
· The bank account information of many accounts is incorrect or changes every month, which makes it hard for us to do the actual payments.
All of this together takes up a lot of our time, so please help us to make paying you easier:
· check your payment information (bank account info et cetera)
· don't worry so much about your anonymity: use just one single account with one name for all your traffic, we will never disclose any of your information to anyone and we will always respect your privacy
Misuse of promotion tools
We have noticed that some affiliates are using Class media promotion tools (e.g. pictures) to promote websites from competitors. We regularly check all our affiliate websites, and if we notice this kind of misuse we will not pay you.
Only rebills & no new signups
When we have to conclude that an affiliate brings no new members that do a signup and only generates rebills, then we will stop our payments. Payment of rebills are a form of motivation.
Doing otherwise would be unlogical: we as a producer have to invest in new content and affiliates have to invest in bringing new customers, that is just the way our business works.
Mutual respect
We appreciate the work our affiliates are doing very much and respect you for doing it, especially in this time of economic recession.
However, some affiliates email us in a tone of voice that implies as if they are the ones who make all the money. (More specifically, these are small affiliates that make about 50 euros a month).
But make no mistake: it's not the affiliates that make the money, it is not us who makes the money, but it's the girls who bring in the money with their nude performances in front of the camera.
We are producers, you are sales men that represent our products. This should be clear to both parties and we should share a mutual respect based on this understanding.
We create great products that will bring you money, not the other way around.
Unprofessional public display
Some affiliates feel the urge to spam forums with the incorrect statement that we won't not pay you.
We admit that our payment situation has had problems in the past. This was due to the fact that pirates and cyberlockers have been terrorising our market for many years, not because we didn't want to pay you!
We know from our colleague producers that we are not the only ones and surely lots of affiliates have too been a victim of the current global piracy by cyberlockers (file hosting companies).
But we have regrouped some time ago and again offer the opportunity to become an affiliate for Class Media and do our payments.
We also pay previous payouts from affiliates that have worked with us in the past and still had some payouts that were on hold. However, it should be clear that misuse of our tools will not be tolerated.
Conclusion
Reliable affiliates that are willing to work and invest can still earn good money with Class Media products!
