YOU SIMPLY DON'T WANT TO SELL PAYSITES ANYMORE. Not the good ones, anyway.
So keep bitching (and assuming) that if an affiliate sends 100k uniques to a program he will only get 1-5 sales. LMAO. Dude, you sent 100k to MY paysites and you'd make....let's see here....on the conservative side....100 sales.
So either DO IT or just continue to bitch that there's no money in being a paysite affiliate. I'll be harsh here: THER'ES NO MONEY FOR YOU AS A PAYSITE AFFILIATE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU SUCK AT IT.
Hey, i tried being nice, tried offering you support, tried offering you revshare deals and exclusive promo content - nada. Instead you just keep bitching and trying to convince everyone the affiliate model is dead. Every single thread that's all you ever say, over and over.
So then WHY do MY affiliates make so much goddamned money? Sorry but your 'send 100k uniques and get 1-5 sales" comment pissed me off. TRY IT and see for yourself but stop assuming all affiliates are in the same boat you are in cause my stats show it simply ain't so.

I can see why you are upset. Here I am telling many people (affiliates) not to bother with paysites and that potentially hurts your business. But I'm just being honest.
If I could send 100,000 visitors per month to your paysites Mr. Peabody without forcing them there then I have no doubt that I would get filthy rich from it. But that's not what I said. I said 100,000 unique visitors to
my site and with a ctr of .75% that means less than a 1,000 of them will ever hit your site. The difference between the two is huge. If your paysite converts at 1:1000 for me with your affiliate tracking then that means I might not even get a sale a month from that.
If I'm operating a tube or something equally bandwidth and server resource intensive then I might not even make a profit from that model alone. It's a lot of work too when you think about it. Here I am running a site with 100,000 unique people coming through it and I might not even be making a profit or if I am it's barely anything.
That's just not acceptable to me. I want more for that exposure. I want more for my time. The reality behind being a paysite affiliate radically changed in the last few years. When it was 1:400 with a 5% ctr it was totally different. That same 100,000 visitors to my site would have yielded over 12 sales and they would have rebilled longer too allowing me to build up revenues.
Don't be mad. I'm just telling it as it is. It's not an individual affiliate's fault. It's not doing something wrong. It's simple math. When you drop the ctr because people know they can get the product for free while at the same time increase the ratios for the same reason this is what happens. It's unavoidable. It sucks. But that's the way it is. I'm not going to blow smoke up MikeSinner's ass and tell him to "keep building" and sending to traffic to paysite affiliate programs when I know damn well he'll probably end up starving a year from now. That's not the way I am. I treat others as I would want to be treated and that means not bullshitting them. I give honest advice.
