I know of someone right now who has been pushing traffic via TGPs for the past two years. He's making enough money to support himself full time and is working full time on his own program. The first day he opens he'll send himself forty sign ups and he'll have a dozen hand picked affiliates that will send maybe another forty signups on day one. And this is before he goes public with his new program.

So all he needs to do is shoot or purchase some content, build two or three sites, an affiliate site, zip up some content for promo purposes, make a few banners and half page / full page ads, and kiss a little ass. And bingo, he's making more money over night.

Of course I hear what you are saying......but just take a look at how many
new programs open using for example NATS if you look at those you'd
be suprised.

again I'm not saying it can't be done and that it's not feasable anymore for
people who know what they are doing......I'm just noticing a HUGE increase
in programs/sites ran by people from which I seriously doubt they'll know
what they are doing.

Those are the ones that just have seemed to jump on the bandwagon.

The people who know their stuff will make it whatever strategy they use
with affiliates or without coz they have a plan and have data that it will
work before they jump in.

That's easy....I don't run any paysites or programs....I do have LOADS of
clients who do....and I provide a service to them.....I've got clients in all kinds
of categories, ones that already have made it, ones that will going to make and
also ones from which I'm very certain they won't make it.

The last one are the hardest.....they require most of my time.....I do give them
my honest opinion....as I'm not comfortable taking peoples money for as long it
lasts and I do try to help them.....but you can only do so much :winkwink:

I've actually stopped taking clients who belong to that group. They take too
much of my time and no matter what I try to do.....they'll still fail so I'd
rather stay away from it.....allthough i do feel sorry for them.

if it really takes him only a few hours per week to manage the program, then even better for him :thumbsup
