Agreed.
You know what I would really love to see on GFY? Is the a whole network of people working together to help a single business launch.
For example : ClassyCams.com is launching today. Sure he will have a few cute girls on it but everyone knows the site will fall flat if it has no traffic. The girls, pissed that they aren't making any money, will login less and less until they are gone completely and working on other sites instead.
It would be amazing if GFY'ers could bring their skillets together to help this site out. If a bunch of affiliates signed up and sent traffic to Classycams they would have a really good chance of succeeding, even with just a few models logged in at any time.
Yes of course some affiliates won't do it, and others will be too anxious if it doesn't convert, etc. Some will bitch and moan too but thats where networking comes in. Communication with the site owner is the key.
ClassyCams is our competitor. They are not using
our software and I have no vested interest. I am only instead speaking from experience. We have done well for ourselves over the years despite the occasional trashings and uphill battle against the big guys. We had virtually zero help from affiliates, but lots of help from PPC providers fortunately. For all the hand-shaking and ass-patting and bro-mances that go on here, it would be nice to see a plan whereby a new program gets an overwhelming level of support instead of the usual dismissals from the pissed-off-forever crowd.
It is also wrong to assume that there's no way to compete against the big guys - there are many. Yes they have megabucks for marketing but the truth is that not everyone likes the MFC's or LiveJasmins of the world. Sometimes they like something different. Trust me I am speaking from first-hand knowledge.
Just my
