Look idiot, my expenses are taken out of what my clients pay me plus I have a hefty markup so that I make a good profit. Likewise, the expenses that Mayor incurs for sending checks should come out of YOUR pocket and if he chooses to mark that cost up then you should eat it and either STFU or be polite and thank him for providing you the opportunity to make money with his program in the first place.

Don't try to debate this issue with me as you are clearly way the fuck out of your league.

Now piss off. :321GFY

I'm trying to cut back on my interactions with morons so I bid you farewell.

My point being that Mayors expenses FAR outweigh those of the webmasters and yet he still makes less on the individual sales than they do.

You on the other hand have no point. You asked about my expenses which are in no way part of the topic at hand...

I don't give two shits about how much money you spend on advertising. You haven't put dime one in my pocket and based on your responses here, you are too ignorant for me to consider doing business with you anyway.

To top that off, anybody who makes what I made in 2006 would have no business complaining about these nominal fees. You should stick with trying to impress the newbies. :2 cents:

Fact is, checks are retarded. I don't pay employees by check nor my bills nor anything at all for that matter.

Nothing quite like an uninformed opinion. :thumbsup

That's called sarcasm, son. Look it up on dictionary.com if needed.

Or you can take epass payments at no fee.

Let me break this down for you....

Mayor pays 10's of thousands of dollars for the content production of his exclusive sites. I personally know this to be true as he is one of my clients. Going from there he pays to have the site designed, hosted, and then hires even more staff to babysit you lazy fuckers who have the balls to call yourselves webmasters.

They give you free hosting and FHGs that MM pays for.

I could go on and on about the costs involved in starting up and running a successful paysite and Mayor has many of them.

This business is more or less built on partnerships and Mayor has done ALL of the ground work. All you have to do is sign up, grab some galleries with your link codes, and sit on your ass while submitting them. You don't have to pay a fucking dime to get started. Meanwhile, Mayor is shoveling money out hand over fist to make things run as smooth as possible. Then he pays you at least 50% of the sales and out of his 50% he eats the processing, hosting, and other day to day costs with running a business.

You are nothing but a bunch of ingrates.

It's 5 fucking dollars. I see people brag on GFY about their cars, homes, computers, TV's, whatever.....And then you bitch about 5 bucks. Some of you seriously need to be bitch slapped.

Let's say I have 30 sponsors that each pay weekly. Each one starts charging $5.

30 X 5 * 52 = $7800 in a year.

"But wait!" you say. "it isn't 30 sponsors, it is just 1!". That is today. But trust me, if sponsors think they can foist another expense off onto the affiliate side of the deal and get away with it, they pretty much all will. Some of them will even be gutsy and start chariging $10 for checks (and $8 for Epass, making Epass the "better bargain becauseyou save $2 for processing!") and away you go.

I have a new plan. I am going to claim $5 per week per sponsor as "income handling fees". Obviously, it costs me money to process incoming payments, and if they can justify $5 to write a check, I can justify $5 for having to take it to the bank.

No one that's been doing this since '99 (other than RawAlex, who just likes to play devils advocate sometimes) is complaining about a $5 check fee, so that shoots your claim out of the water.

As for buying the drinks, since Mike's been my customer periodically through the years, I generally pay for those.

Good on you for not supporting checks. They are a VERY old form of payment and USA is probably one of the only remaining counties in the WORLD that still uses them.

ive not offered check payouts as an option to affiliates for almost 3 years now. We live in an electronic age and you are (webmasters) promoting digital goods - you sure as hell better embrace the technology by having a digital account :)

Good on you Mayor!

Guys like Rabbit, I have had great dealings with and their opinions matter to me. When they speak it's well thought out and it's received well and usually acted on.

Fake nic/newb morons like knightdown are down right cute they way they show off their extra chromosome ;)

Will, thanks for keeping the thread alive as it seems to be attracting a number of new quality affiliates for us... :pimp

One thing Mayor needs to learn is that there are 1000's of affiliate companies out there. True, I wouldn't drop their company if I was already using them and I would have them waive the "moron" fee as he put it. But I am not using your company. I have thousands to choose from, you are one of many. I can only try out a few at a time. Stupid shit like this and your attitude here is more then enough reason for me to skip you and try someone else this week.

And all of you others who are still hung up on the " it's only $5 and checks are so 80's" etc... damn, you are clueless.

If you make more than 4K a week with one sponsor epass is horrible because the withdrawal limit is $600 per day to your bank account. So basically you never get all of your money in the bank, in which case a check is preferable.
