Something unique and different that other programs don't have can definitely make it... Differentiation is good.

I do toons. Who would I partner with? Who really has the skills to market toon content and would webmasters find toon stuff worth selling? I believe a few people have asked over the years but their deals didn't jibe right off the bat. Making loot and doing fun quality work is the goal. That combination always works. |

Also, how does humor play in selling a product. I'm noticing the comedy level that sets sites apart. I've seen some funny ads on GFY that make affiliate programs very attractive. Lets you know there are real people behind the program not some stuffed shirt. That humor translates to the customer who feels like they have a pal showing them a good time. Those fans are worth their weight in gold. |

We did it with teens content, and non exclusive teen content as well.
We gave the surfer good teen porn and it works fine. |

there is no money in porn. run away now.
of course there is room for more affiliate programs. i think a lot that are still taking traffic in are pretty much dead anymore anyways. the next big biling shake up will cull some of the bullshit from the heep. I Hope. ;) |

Sure.. find a niche that isn't over done and go at it. Should cost too much to get started. You can't expect the world on day one. For like $1k you could start something up. probably less then that. Paul Markham has like $10 sets so 50 of them is $500, domain $10, hosting $100/mo for starters?, ccbill (could be heavy fees) or something like vertrol(sp) which i don't think cost anything to setup but they take like 15% or something.
Start small if it explodes expand. |

There are still new programs coming out all the time... however, what most people don't know is that a lot of the programs that you and I hear about being "launched" are actually just new programs done by old companies.
Most companies have 2+ sponsor programs these days... some that you'd never suspect are actually just programs belonging to a company that you may already promote. Not many are started by "new to the industry" companies... and if they are, we don't usually hear about them here on the board for quite some time. |

The trick is to get in on the new programs as soon as they come out. For me, starting an affiliate program is the right way to go. I have to study or get someone who already has a company to snag me up. I spent all year cleaning my schedule just so I could spend alllll day drawing. I would have taken some offers to do an affiliate with some companies but they got too greedy. You ever see these guys who brag, brag, brag, about how hot their companies are and all the bling they have yadda yadda yadda and then when they want to hire someone they piss and bitch about how hard times are. If a company is all fucking that, then they can afford to set things up nice for content providers and talent. There are sooo many bullshitters in the business you wonder who they really work for. Me, I'm just looking for a team that is about doing kick ass work and making money. |

With niches and cartoons if you go to my site you'll see text links to the various niches people ask me to draw. Too many to name! Some guys like superheroines. Some guys like just blonde superheroines, face sitting, wet looking, blah blah until fucking blah they ask for. I can't keep up but I give em' all a taste. |

i have one of the best ideas so far and getting it done is taking crazy time.
but once its done, the structure of it is so well thought out that anyone would promote it

If you are small I'd say the best bet is to work on one quality site. Update it as often as you can with the best content you can.

It's like asking, "Can you still open a shop, or still write a book, or still build a fucking sand castle?" You don't even have to be original, just competant.

Greg, I 've been a fan of your work for quite some time, and I think a couple of monthiy series type toons would work best for your site (maybe 2-3 a month) and market it not as a website but as a magazine style site (1 edition per month, so many toons, plus some text stories illustrated with toons) and have people subscribe (a la Heavy Metal magazine - on of my faves for a long time).
Surfers could subscribe for a monthly installment of their favorite series, get a couple of single toons (jokes, in progress gallery etc.) and read some raunchy text stories in different niches with some of your toons as accents. Just a thought ![]() |

I think the main question is reputation. I certiainly would not signup to a program where I have no idea who the people are. A new program espeically, i mean will you get paid etc? I think after a rocky couple of months, you may be able to do it still.

I see one of the biggest road blocks is hacks on the site and fraud. The little guy can't afford a fraud department or IT staff.
Look what happend to PIb, they pissed off some people and next thing you know they were hacked. NOt that it wasn't deserved, but ya get attacked all the time from vandals. Sometimes it is worse than others. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try. Gotta start somewhere. |

the first one is the hardest because of the learning curve .. I put a lot more money into Mobbucks then I had to with Satancash.com ... The partnership with Pete has helped a lot because I've started a program and still run one while he has been in the TGP game and is a great Tech guy .. we work very well together and have innovative ad material and lots of cool site ideas ... it just takes long hours and lots of dedication ..

You have to have a sharp eye and act like a surfer in order to spot these new niches as they pop up. Sometimes it can be something as simple as 'slicked back hair babes' and guys go crazy for that shit. Get 5,000 people signing up to that site and considering the cost of content you should make loot. I learned a long time ago that it's not the number of affiliates selling your stuff, it's WHOM that affiliate is. You can have 100 affiliates selling your stuff but 5 of them put you well over into the top. You can make 6 figures doing that in a year. People want stuff that sells, case closed on that. For me, toons sell and convert powerfully. My stuff is unique so instead of those cookie cutter anime/toon sites I give original stuff and often customized. That keeps em' coming back. I need to expand and doing a paysite/affiliate thing should put me way over the top soon as I figure out how to do it without the headache. |

What this industry does not need is 300 paysites following the same formula as the 300,000 that have gone before it. It needs 300 paysites that break out of the mould. It can be the same niche as before just needs to be different and a lot better. And this is the key, if your sites are no different than the 300,000 other sites, and exclusive content does not make it different from the other 200,000 exclusive sites, then you will fail. Anyone can open an affiliate program, takes something special to make it work. |
