They might pay 50% on paper but the actual figure is nowhere near that. Then you have word of mouth referrals from people that joined through an affiliate link but the person they told doesn't go back to the page it was seen on they type in the URL. That's just a few examples, there are many more.
Excellent points, but I don't expect her to know this right off the bat. Like I said, she's new and there's a learning curve to this whole game. I like my girls to be involved somewhat in the back-end of the operation so that just in case anything ever happens to me, they might have some kind of clue about what to do. But right now, I'm afraid she's being fed misleading and uninformed advice from people who have never been in this business before. Thanks for putting things in perspective.
