I hear that. A lot of sponsors really believe this shit as well. I believe that from a sponsors position their over all sals may drop at different times of the year, like summer for example. But this is not from a lack of customers signing up, but from a lack of work by their affiliates. What happens over the summer, kids out of school, people take vacations, so do webmasters. Webmasters take more time off, so they work less, therefore make less money. There are still plenty of customers out there, so people like me, who continue to work 24/7 continue to make good money.
I believe processor problems can affect people. Sure that is possible. If you processing through company A and company A has processing problems, sure you will be affected. But beyond that, everything else is an excuse IMO.
So why does someone's sale tank one day. If you go from 1:50 to 1:5000 from the same traffic, sure you have a problem. If you check EVERYTHING on your end, maybe it is the sponsor, i am sure they are not 100% problem free. So it is you or the sponsor causing the drop, nothing else. Not the weather, or time of the year, or current events, or anything like that.
The problem most people have is that they don't understand, with all things being equal) some days you will just get more paying customers then the next. 100 people walk into a sex shop, 25 buy. The next day different 100 people walk into sex shop, 43 might buy. That just happens, and it has nothing to do with anything else other then the law averages. You have to average your sales over time, day to day they will vary under exact same conditions. Week to week, or month to month depending upong your traffic volume, they will be very consistant.
This is my last post regarding this issue or even trying to help people for that matter. 95% of the time sales drop (not just the normal up and down t hat averages out, but really decline over time), it is the webmasters fault. 98% of these people blame it on something else and make excuses. Excuses = not trying to fix the problem but accepting that it is out of your hands, not your fault. So they will never be more productive. So here I am trying to help educate people, so they can compete with me. I don't mind helping TCC people which also helps me, but why am i trying to help educate all of the clueless here who are in the dark about slow downs. So i concluded I am the idiot for trying to help these people, I just assume let them keep t hinking what they are thinking and keep making what they are making.
The other thing people don't realize this thread was titiled, very slow sales today. Ofcourse you are going to get more people who had lower sales reading this then people who were having a good day. just the same if i started a " I had great sales today" thread, more people who had good sales day would post there then people who did not.
So i am not going to debate this with you people, you are right I am wrong, I am a legend in my own mind, i am nothing, don;t listen to me. However, if you want to work with me, or have intelligent conversation I will never turn anyone down. But I am drawing a line in the sound here and now, if you believe the pope dieing, war with iraq, the summer, kids back in school, bad storms in the us, etc.. please do not signup to TCC, and do not work with me. I refuse to work with negative people who rather make up bullshit excuses then go out there and bust their ass and make their own results.
