Amazon affiliate help = surprisingly good
CJ Affiliate help = horrible
I just find more and more companies do not care about affiliates let alone customers and vendors, and we wonder why the good old USA is not excelling in customer satisfaction, market domination and growth like it should.
I have had the most amazing experience with 2 adult toy companies in the past 2 months, one of which created and entire shift on how I am now conducting the affiliate end of my business.
There are a few good ones left out there.
The key is you have to build your brand, re-market your traffic - especially after purchases, control the domains and links in a centralized manner so you can redirect your business at a moments notice.
The bottom line I see after watching so many fold up, change or drop programs, change terms and massive market changes that can unfold at what appears overnight, monsters like Amazon have tapped out hard goods down to under 5% and will keep driving prices lower meaning lower commissions, and unless you own your traffic, expect repeat sales commissions to be a thing of the past.
