Most will I agree, but some MAY like the option, don't you agree? Of course I'm not going to say "No" if they want to provide themselves.
Paying for their hosting/bandwidth can provide a real, tangible benefit instead of other bonuses. My opinion.

If you're asking them to promote ONLY you, I wish you the best. Would YOU throw all of your eggs in one basket?? I hope not.

If you had actually read my post completely you would see that I said I would not be anal about them ONLY promoting us - we would negotiate a line of best fit on a case-by-case. We WANT them to promote others as well - we welcome the competition because our stuff sells itself over most competitors.

Oh, and they usually don't prove themselves to anyone. They TELL sponsors what THEY want to promote them.

How many times have you been burned? I know personally I have been MANY times - both as an affiliate and as a program owner.
Do the right thing by me and I will ALWAYS do the right thing by you - that is the point.
Of course if someone with references or I know will commit to me as I wil commit to them comes along I would ALWAYS consider.
EVERYTHING is ALWAYS negotiable.

Beyond what you're offering, they at LEAST need CUSTOM, EXCLUSIVE affiliate content. (I noticed you DID offer that up in this thread somewhere).

Like you said, I did say that, and as we shoot all of our content with our own models it don;t get much more exclusive than that !!

So, IF "I" was promoting Gay programs, I'd probably contact you and tell you what "I" would be willing to offer YOU.

And there my friend is exactly what I am saying - the offer was to provide some indication of the level of cross-commitment and support one can expect working with us.
Not the other way around. [/B][/QUOTE]
And why can't it be a two-way street?
I appreciate your comments, because it gives me the opportunity to expand on what I was saying:
I work TOGETHER with a small group of affiliates, rather than just shotgun across the board and hope for the best.
This means no over-exposure, better service AND a good deal for all involved.
That business model has served us well up to know and will into the future.
