Sponsors: time to build your own traffic?

Seems to me that sponsors are going through a lot of hassle just to comply AND help their affiliates comply. Not to mention the heat they're taking over this from their own and others' affiliates.

So, isn't it about time you guys built your own traffic and lost the hassle of dealing with every damn whining affiliate? Think about it, have a bunch of people on your staff, building TGP's/MGP's/galleries/free sites, only for you. You wouldn't have to rely on affiliates to get your signups. You'd no longer have to spend money on hosted galleries and free hosting to please them whining bitches. Spend that money on getting your own traffic instead. No more affiliate payouts, money goes straight into your pocket. Have ten people each grow you a 50-100K/day TGP every month, plus each make galleries and cross-post them on your entire network. Wouldn't that be a lot more profitable for you?

So, let's have a raise of hands here, who's interested in this? I might be able to provide you with a solution for the abovementioned, from training your existing staff to actual staffing.

Not necessarily outsourcing, but that can be done too. Let's see what results you'll get from outsourcing 10 sites/mo being grown to any of the outsourcing companies. Let's see the quality of the designs and galleries they produce. How much are you willing to bet that it ain't gonna come out as planned?

It is outsourcing, its hiring hired labor that arent acutally part of staff and payroll to work for you. Thats called outsourcing.

When people hire you to grow tgps, they are outsourcing. WHen you hire a designer for a project, you are outsourcing.

Well, not really, our waiting list is over six months long at this point and I'd expect it to grow even longer, as many non-US webmasters would see the benefit of having a thumb preview TGP, while US webmasters would flock to have text sites grown. But hey, thanks for bumping.

In-house staff isn't outsourcing, but whatever floats your boat, my good man.

How can you take peoples money to build MGPs, which you are very good at (if not the best in the business), then try to pose a method for a sponsor to cut out it's affiliates. These affilaites are the ones you have lined up to pay you for MGPs. That sure does not sound like good business to me.

Hate to say it, but an affiliate program and order 10 tgps, while one affiliate orders 1.

Its more profitable having large programs as clients.

I'm not questioning whether it will make more money or not but to essentially call his clients whining bitches on the board is not a very good move in my opinion.

Like i said.

If he can land five programs that take him on 10 tgps. I think he can blow off a few possible small fry clients.

I'm not cutting them out. They should start their own paysites to feed them traffic, or find sponsors who won't drop affiliates. At this point, it doesn't look as if any sponsor will do this, but in the future, they just might, with or without my influence.

You are very good at what you do and far be it from me to stifle your thoughts that grow your business but this would have probably been served better if it was presented directly to a sponsor than here on the board. That being said it is your business to do with as you wish.

Your idea is very limited. with a good affiliate program you have hundreds of webmasters promoting your sites. and they only get paid when they produce. Your in house staff will require a paycheck. whether they produce or not.

There is a good reason why affiliate programs work.

There's also a good reason why my idea would work well. Of course staff would require a paycheck, but that check would bring you a bigger profit at the end of the day, provided your people knew what they were doing.

The fact is having affiliates is a huge moneymaker & all the big programs will be complying. Unless their getting prepared to retire, or are comfortable & don't feel like dealing with the work.

Your idea would be good for a small company with a few sites to work with. an in house staff just couldnt do the quantity that a hundred affiliates do. and although you may not have to payout 50% of the profits to an affiliate, you would however have to pay as i mentioned before wages for your staff, increased hosting costs, more domain names cost, promotion costs. all of these costs the affiliates pay for to get the sale.

I think your time would be better served trying to get buisnesss from affiliates there is definatly more affiliates than there are sponsors. and sale is a sale reguardless if its an affiliate or a paysite owner. you can build 10 sites for the one paysite owner that wants to do it your way. or you can build 100 for affiliates to promote the paysites who like not having to manage dozens of tgp's on top of all their paysite stuff.

A TGP/MGP design is $300. Might be beer money to you, but among the shitloads of "get your TGP design for $65" designers, I'd say that would clearly put our designs in the premium segment.

On a second note, the design site was only launched because I have way too much to do growing sites, so people could get a little help to starting their own sites.

I didn't post this thread so that I could get more business growing sites for sponsors. As I've already stated, I have more than enough orders for growing sites. I posted this so I could try assessing the interest among sponsors for building their own traffic, then see what I can put together to cater to that market.

Since one of the things I hate the most is when someone refuses to admit he's wrong, I just re-read your posts. It seems I was wrong, I initially didn't notice that you had, in fact, posted about in-house staff not being outsourcing. I apologize, you were right and I was making an argument out of something that wasn't correct.

There is definatly a market there.. but i dont think the market would include outing their affiliates. But there is definatly a market with paysite owners building their own stuff.

I honestly don't think sponsors with lots of affiliates would drop them, that would be plain stupid. If you already have an infrastructure for a business model based on affiliates, not using it for further business would be an utterly stupid thing to do.

However, aside from that, say invest $50-100K once, then add some monthly paychecks to that, plus some hosting and feeder traffic, and you'll have enough base to make back that money in a couple of months, afterwards making an increasing monthly profit.

I know of a lot of affiliates who make over $3000 a day. I know of even more who make over $1000 a day. I know of a lot of them who make that much for single programs from traffic sources that would take a very long time and a very large staff to establish.

Looking at a few examples, Lightspeeds top 100. $50,000 a month the Lightspeed organization would lose tomorrow if they went to your solution and then waiting for you to actually build the traffic generating this cash.

Or take a smaller fish like Glamcash, They'd be out $15,000 a month in the top 10 alone. To someone there size it'd be a major fuck up.

Now take a large program like Nasty Dollars... They would lose as much as $10,000 to $20,000 a DAY.

#1. No sponsor without a need for affiliates can pay $50 - 100K all at once.
#2. What feeder traffic? Without affiliates and their sites, free, tgp, 404'd, etc, traffic would be GOOGLE, YAHOO and MSN only.

well, it's an idea. I'd say an OLD idea, but an idea anyway. There are quite a bunch of programs not taking affiliates, ours between those. And of course, we need to get traffic. Building a pro, reliable staff, whether it's inhouse or outsourced is very important, but just a part of it, unless you love to throw the traffic (money) to the bin

I don't know the details of your idea, however, if it's just build TGP or MGP, it won't work at all for certain programs. After all, all sponsors would be doing it if it was that easy. We had to experiment a lot, we spent (not invest: SPENT) some money to learn from our own mistakes and finally we're quite happy with what we got, but be warned: this is not for everyone. And it's absolutely non sense for big sponsors (1000+ affiliates plus some whales), it will only work for medium to small sponsors, and that provided they know what they're doing

I guess I am not school me... I am sure you will say something like, from a traffic source, that is actually an aggrigator of traffic from other sources...

There's no carved-in-stone idea behind this. However, again, I'm not fishing for site growing jobs, since that seems to be the common misunderstanding among people who reply. One solid part of the idea would be proper training for the staff. Anyone can have staff, hell, you can outsource if you can't find any near you. But to have SKILLED staff, that's a totally different story.
