Choose sponsors with good reputations, who strike you as honest.

Do the occasional test join, if you like. I know I don't care if an affiliate wants to buy something on his or her refcode and most revshare programs won't mind.

Mostly, do the math on whether what you are doing is profitable and worthwhile.

Edit: Ya know, when you talk about getting back in the game, it is clear that you in fact do have a safe office job. You were name-calling in that other thread and acting like your office job gave you the judgmental right to force other people to live by your rules for them.

Most importantly, regarding this thread and that one, you are not just extremely risk averse, you are unusually loss averse. This means that you would actually rather spend $100,000 to have a $20,000 loss covered. It also probably means that entrepreneurship is not for you. Most successful entrepreneurs are risk neutral. If you view risk neutral as basically risk taking (which you do), then business is not going to be your thing.

Edit 2: 50
