Here is some interesting info. When I started tocome here, and did go throughout he process to become a platinum sponsor, noone told me to "shhh" or not chatting about your pgram till your wire clears. This has been true at the GIA, AGD, and GAP, and a few other, and I thank them for allowing me to participate.
I know 99% of the forums on the internet ar about making money. But it upset me when I am asked to NOT partiicpate on forums unles I pay the 1 - 3k per month to advertise. Some of these forums have like 5 posts a day ??
So instead, last week, I have 500 bucks to a random affilaite, at a random time. I will chat to other forums about adveritsing (of course), but when I cant "test the waters" why would I send them a penny ? They seem to have no confidence. Instead of saying, hey we see you chatting on our forums, and are reachable, and i am sure you have made some money, would you like to advertise ?" I would sya sure, frome me a media kit and we go from there. So far, of the few respsnones on some of these guy, i have not had one sign up or one conversation,a nd they want me to wire them money ?
Hope some affilaites also understand then when some programs cannot be on all forums. Sya there are 10 popular forums each wants a minimum of 1k a month. Thats 100k a year for forums advertising! A lot of money I can get a lot more affilaites with other marketing..
(I did pay for my sponsorship, as I feel this is MORE then a forum, and the owners of this site have beenmore then just a order taker. They assited in my terms and conditions, and have given great feedbacks to make this program affiliate friendly, and they can consider me a partner for life...)
Anyways, this is my rant, curious if other aff managers are having the same challenges. Thanks for listening.
