    If your affiliate program is in trouble...

    What's the right thing to do?

    1. Publicly announce that you're having trouble but that you've got it under control (and have all your affiliates and contractors jump ship, making the situation worse)

    2. Privately message all your affiliates and contractors, letting them know what's going on and giving them a FIRM date on which you can pay them (and risk some bigmouth letting the cat out of the bag, leading to the total collapse of your company)

    3. Screw everyone, take all the cash you can and move to Barbados.

    4. Pretend everything is OK, string everyone along with promises and hope you can get things straightened out before your company collapses.

    5. ?? Alternatives?

    I think I know a company that might be in just this situation. What should they do?

          sell your business to someone who can make money with it. the current memberbase/content/designs must be worth something.

          better than just letting everything go down the hole.

              Even at the very least sell for cheap and walk away not so empty handed while at the same time giving someone who may do better by it a chance to succeed.

                      hire a professional who knows what the fuck they are doing and have him guide you to build it back up again

                      and if that doesn't work, be cool and announce your failure

                          5. Alternatives.

                          Sell crack, suck dicks, pawn your stereo or sell a fucking kidney on ebay. Just fucking pay me
                          SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                              I think number 4 is the most common practice. Can't say I'd do any differently, because I'd fear the other ways would simply sink the ship more quickly.

                                  Try to find someone with money, show him you can make it work if you hang on a bit longer and take him on as a silent partner?...

                                      I hope they see this thread and it helps them. I hate to see them struggle.

                                              I would say 5. diversify a little and try to bring in other types of revenue. Wether it be bring in a partner or just trying to cut a more profitable deal on thier traffic...
