well two things first thing
wtf you get paid commison at light speed ? 
second thing : Sure your promo gives everyone the push to send all the sign ups they can ... but now you see people who can send 100 sign ups a day and they are like " shit free 1k for me " they start sending you all there traffic and then you have the people who are trying there hardest to send traffic and they see that they really have no chanc e
I dunno .. just thinking that there are so many contest ran but none for the people who are still trying to learn ... I kow when I first started i wanted to give up so many times when I saw that it looked like I had no chance when you see all these other people
I dunno im just thinking out loud
LONG LIVE THE NEWBIES ! Maybe one day someone will run a contest where it takes 1 HIT to enter the contest not Whoever makes the most sales or one sale = one entry ( with no cap )
grr

Chris - Read closer. This isn't Lightspeed giving the money away, it's ME. I'm not going to give $1000 to someone who sends one hit or one signup. They get paid 60% revshare, they earned the money they made. I want to entice people that are going to give Lightspeed a try with some decent traffic and know that they can actually make good money. It isn't a contest, it's a bonus for a job well done. I get a commission based on how well the company does as well as a nice salary so don't worry for me
So many people want something for nothing. Our affiliates can attest that we went WAY above the call of duty in rewarding people for sending traffic last year. How many other companies did you see putting 50+ webmasters up in stunt flights, flying webmasters to cities to party, giving 10% bonus months, $1,000 bonuses to the top senders to each of their sites, letting you swim with the dolphins, handing out dozens of $100+ jerseys, paying for huge open parties, paying out on 100% bonus months, etc, etc, etc... Many of our promotions were aimed at the little guy as well as the big guy.
This is different. I'm fishing and I want to land a whale. I'm using $1000 as bait. If they bite and send traffic they will get two rewards.
1) They find out how fucking awesome our conversion ratios and retention is and what a good idea it is to send their traffic to us.
2) They might get a bonus of $1000 on top of the money they already made with us (which is better than a kick in the ass!)
$1000 is really small change to the people I am after, but it gets more attention than me saying "Who wants me to give them $10?".
