Received this email from an affiliate in response to an inquiry about doing a rev share deal. Not sure what to make of it; any thoughts?
[I]"We sell ads bro, and always will. the pop-under costs 5k a month and has been sold for 3+ years now to the same person like just about all ads. I will think but I do not even like to work as an affiliate unless I get 35-40$ a 1$ join PPS (even then I worry about issues on the sellers end) revenue share type models like this are long dead and so easy for me to make my own CCbill type models or in fact even PPS models now I could just keep 100%
At some point when everyone is dead or other issues I will have to take over the ‘sales’ end myself but the problem is that is not very hard to do while making any big profits your way is almost impossible or not worth the time, and frankly kind of easy and low cost now to do myself.
I will think about this and let you know but I will never ‘feature’ a revenue share model and if and when I do promote Any affiliate program it will be PPS and the 1-3 that make me the Most money from each click (really only 1-2 programs on earth that could even come close to making me the amounts of money needed to even operate. Its the same old problems man these ideas are 30 Years old and not worth almost anyone time that runs any type of real/big program. Some will Lie and BS about this but they run little crap sites that use 30 year old ideas too so basically DEad too
Really the problem is I need to make Money, HUGE amounts of MOney just to cover the HUge Cost to run a Modern program and we have for the most part a lot of guys that live in 1995 that are impossible to work with because they need to generate 500times the amount of income for us and they just sit around and make excuses why everyone should be happy to make the nickles they offer at the same time lose just about 100% control over every site and all traffic.
HUGE issues and needs and you guys want to offer me a 1995 reshare model? Can you see how 20+ year old ideas would piss me off? This is not back to the future here if you guys can not do What ever it takes to make 500times more income its over and from what I have seen I believe it is Impossible for them (other than Mark maybe) to even try. So I ask you if I was going to promote any of this why would it not just me Mark where I can make 100times the amount of income. every click I do not send him and send some place else loses me MOney so why would I keep doing that? Why would I work with any of these? You know we sell ads so I do not have to deal with antiquated ideas and issues with sponsors adjusting sales, and other than maybe working a bit more with Mark and opening my own Sales options to make up for the incompetence I do not see any of this has any type of future even for Broke 18yo college kids its Dead and been dead for 10-15 years now
Rev-share has been Dead for 15years at least Only Grandfather programs stuck in 1995 even offer this, and the same guys that sit around and bitch how the World has changed on them just like your Grandparent might do. PPS was the new idea 10+ years ago, but NOW good program buy ads like a Real company does and take responsibility for their own marketing and income generation. Anyone that tells you anything else is lying to themselves or you and frankly it Pisses Me Off. I am sorry I do help some people out but this is more Charity than anything else and I do not run a Charity program its a for profit Porn Company. Really do think it was a Horrible idea to move into this biz when you did so who ever gave you that advice was ether a Idiot or a Lying so ether way I would Stop taking their advice and ether try too join us in 2015 or IMO the best idea is to find another industry that is more stable and profitable than this one and that at this point is just about Ever damn industry on the face of the earth. As we can not get public executions that we need we might deal with the Zombies until like in all good movies they run out of Brains to eat and starve to death. FYI 1995 will Never come back so stop acting like it will
Really I hate to be a dick man but we have Million of viewers, and Super great traffic and had this for Many Many years, and when programs make less money than I would make working at Burger King its time for CHANGE and not my Change as I only reflect Reality and the market place like all other damn sites run by anyone that is not a 65yo Man living in a efficiency apartment Truly making less money each hour than a Burger King worker but this Lies to make themselves sound better. All I can say is buy ads and make program that you can buy ads with. If you can not do this then I would sell my program while maybe you can still get a few bucks. The Future moves Forward it does not stand still nor does it move Backwards. Oh and to make it out here now you have to have BALLS and take huge legal and other Risks if your not willing to do these things your in the Wrong industry. The days of that crap ended about 2003-2005 RIP and when Most of the programs around made all these REbill that keep them alive now, this is why we all call them Zombies! They really are Zombies living off past ideas and work that have been LONG dead and have no future other than holding the few alive back"[/I]
