There are different types of newbies:
1) The person who doesn't understand what such and such is, but is obviously willing to learn.
2) People that want to make money, but really don't have the understanding it takes. These people think you can slap together a site and put it on the Internet and make money. Reminds me of Homer Simpson before he was "bought out" by bill gates.
3) People that are cheating and scamming from day one.
Why people bother to help number 3 I will never know. Number 2s are fine, but after a while they should get the idea this just isn't for them. Some help is fine, but people have to be willing to learn for themselves. I have noticed on the SEO Boards people whining up a storm about SE "Spam". 99% of the time - these people have poor crappy listings and are not making money. They like to BLAME their lack of income on other people.
I think porn is similar. I have only been selling porn for less than a year, but I think the following is true:
1) People whining and complaining about TGPs giving away too much free stuff are not making money. If you truly believe that is the problem - then why even bother.
2) People whining and complaining about people giving away the best sponsors and secrets are not making money.
3) People whining and complaining about so and so shaving are not making money. If you have enough hits to be able to make a good judgement about how many signups you are getting - DROP THE SPONSOR!!!!!!
There is plenty of money to go around - my guess is that probably less than 10% of people that sign up for an affiliate program ever sell a membership. That is just a guess.
