    What makes you trust a sponsor?

    Thinking back over the past 2 years, I've seen a lot of programs come and go. Makes it really hard to trust new programs that are nothing short of begging for traffic.

    As an affiliate, what helps you have trust in a sponsor, new or old?

    I think I've gotten to the point where I want to know or have met the people behind the program. However I do try out new programs, but am cautious and don't put too much stock into them until I see results.

    Am I still on for a ride on the back of your chair in Vegas???

    Look foreward to seeing you again man!!!

    Hrmm.. back to the topic, what makes me want to do business with a program is:

    1. The willingness to get you custom tools to do the job you need done.
    2. Fast and on time payments
    3. Sites that convert, with multiple tours to avoid such saturation and numbess on impact of a surfer.
    4. Integrity, And Honesty.. I can usually tell if someone is going to do me wrong by talking to them on the phone or in person.
    5. The constant evolution of a program is good too, adding new ideas or following some ideas that are working for others to help your affiliate base succeed more.

    Those are a few things I try to make sure programs have, and most of those we try to bring into Epic Cash all the time..

      I prefer to say...

      Keeping your sperm in multiple eggs.

          i don't trust any sponsor. seems like every single program out there has some horror stories associated with it.

            Sly, If I can't get one for free then I'm goint to have to tax you 10% of those rides man, because I think I was the first to ask about a ride.. So if the idea catches on and you start to profit, I'm gonna want a piece of that action!!

            So do I get a free ride then or what?

                              How about talking to a prior employee? Prior employees love to talk shit about old employers.

                                    What makes you trust a sponsor?
                                    Trust???

                                    Can't say I trust any sponsor. Why should I?

                                    But I don't trust anyone unless I "know" them well and they have had a chance to screw up.

                                    Same with bank managers, lawyers, accountants

                                          I'm saying you're not female. You're more than attractive. Basically, you're in a category on your own, above all the rest

                                            a long term working relationship that is beneficial to both. Knowing where the owner of the program lives helps

                                                well, i put my trust on a sponsor if they pay their members/affiliates on time, if they have good customer support, stability, honestt/integrity and above all if they convert well.
                                                I'm a freelance babe!

                                                  Look foreward to seeing you again man!!!

                                                  Hrmm.. back to the topic, what makes me want to do business with a program is:

                                                  1. The willingness to get you custom tools to do the job you need done.
                                                  2. Fast and on time payments
                                                  3. Sites that convert, with multiple tours to avoid such saturation and numbess on impact of a surfer.
                                                  4. Integrity, And Honesty.. I can usually tell if someone is going to do me wrong by talking to them on the phone or in person.
                                                  5. The constant evolution of a program is good too, adding new ideas or following some ideas that are working for others to help your affiliate base succeed more.

                                                  Those are a few things I try to make sure programs have, and most of those we try to bring into Epic Cash all the time..

                                                  Keeping your eggs in mutliple baskets is always good..

                                                  regarding 1) lol, you should see a log of a convo I had with someone from epic recently - sure as hell didnt remotely hold to that :-P actually pissed me off so much I stopped using epic

                                                      then you will just get a biased story, and what's that worth?
