Big Sponsors Dying a Painful Death
 

It seems that's what's in store for the industry per the Marc De (ARS) threads if they don't evolve.

Assuming that sites don't, won't or CAN'T (due to regulatory issues) use affiliates anymore... the recent rise of OUTSOURCING may be the bright spot in the horizon for people who own their own sites. Why payout huge amounts if you can employ people for $200 to $350 a month?

Bingo.

Buying ads and having Thai's submit your galleries is the wave of the future.

im going to start getting illegal mexican folk to work for me if Bush goes through with his crap

do you have a tomato business as well? :winkwink:

Seriously... If the fraud and BS of having your own affiliate program becomes too much due to

1) ever decreasing retention rates

2) death of rebill (not a question of if.... its a question of when)

3) death of popups

4) fear of shavers being exposed (there will be more when the BS hits the fan)

Many operators would just HIRE their promoters in the form of $200 to $400 a month outsourced employees.

Yet another trend to look out for.

An efficient promoter wouldn't be satisfied only with $400/month, since he could make much more on his own ...
promotion=sales, and sales people who sell a lot make the most of all.

Thats why its more important now then ever to have your own traffic sources, and not have to rely on someone else for traffic. Thehun makes nice coin off bookmarkers

Do you think Marc De will hire 100 Mexicans and teach them Google and gallery submissions and pay them $300 per month?
In that case they will know everything and will start promoting other programs and make 10 times that amount.

do they know how to use computers?
