Yes, I know, you will say that you have expenses like CCBILL FEES, Content, Hosting, etc... But it doesn't count for the 50% of the income. Let's be honest and let any Hypocrisy on a side.

Plus you have people promoting you if you want. I have never ever hear an affiliate that became a sponsor OWNER and complained about it.

Every guy that became a sponsor OWNER saw a huge DIFFERENCE. HUGE... I repeat, HUGE DIFFERENCE.

Or are you the first I hear in 10 years that says different?

Now go ahead and hate me for telling the truth and telling people to start competing with you. It's to obvious to do so.

BUT ANYWAY, did you even check the title of the thread? The OP is talking about AFFILIATES, not sponsor owners.

It's funny that many sponsor owners jumped into the thread to start some kind of fight, quite funny.

Period.
Written out like that it sounds very easy. And for some it is. Those with the talent to produce a great product, have the money to do it as well as put everything else together and it's not in a niche that's simply saturated.

Most of today's sponsors still doing well started as small acorns, didn't get crushed like so many and grew.

Building a site to compete with them from the ground up would cost well into a 6 figure price. Very few affiliates have that kind of cash to spare back in the day or today. We were fortunate that all our content when we started was free, in fact it was already very profitable. So spending the money to open a paysite wasn't a problem.

Now some will show me some site full of cheap Exgf content and swear blind it's a gold mine or tell me the skills to drive traffic are totally different to the ones to convert it.

Yes in a niche that is totally saturated and full of sites who can rarely afford to get content, there's a couple that might do well. They of course don't know.

Without the skills to recognise a good tour, know which tours will convert people will swear they can make a good living sorting it out by their stats. And without learning why a tour is hitting the surfers eyes and making them buy.
