Far L is right on target. For him to work in mainstream MLM is a tribute that he knows his stuff. That market is full of more crooks than a Batman comic book. I have seen the ravages first hand of that market and done lots to bring crooks in. It's sickening to see hopeful people fucked over stupid and the authorities dragging their feet. Adult is no where near the criminal levels of mainstream MLM and the affiliate model is a fundamental to sustainability and growth. No doubt there. Make something worth selling, put a decent price on it and allow others to sell it and nowadays you can be rich overnight. It's content and delivery without any bullshit on the side.

I've heard people claim the affiliate model is dead. I disagree, because I think if anything it will just correct itself and return to something that is more sustainable over the long haul, more selective in terms of who can participate, and more valuable to both the program and the affiliates in the long term.

Just thinking positively?

Nope. Why would a perfectly good, time honored, marketing technique be obsolete just because some failed with it? Amway is doing fine after so many years as an MLM but tons of others have come and gone - and usually for similar reasons to what is happening in adult - unsustainable or sometimes illegitimate variations on a marketing technique is the fault of management, not sales design.

Thoughts?

Mainstream affiliate marketing is alive and well. Online it looks as if its headed to some golden years.

And selling solid products without scamming the consumer aint got no better.

Can I interest you in some blucigs?

As mentioned earlier on in similar discussions, I have a feeling that this will be a summer of the shakeout, with some of them hanging on until fall, but many of them finding themselves without processing or no way to bring in enough sales to make it worth doing.

Keep your eye on the prize. I have seen a number of alphabetical cash programs getting new ownership / company names as they continue to dance on the proverbial hot tin roof. The ones who are the best at this might last a while, but they are running out of places to lay their heads.

And the beat goes on... and the beat goes on...

Adult Profit... WegCash... Quickbucks... more on the way!

CHORUS:
The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da

Charleston was once the rage, uh huh
History has turned the page, uh huh
The mini skirts the current thing, uh huh
Teenybopper is our newborn king, uh huh

Chorus

The grocery store's the super mart, uh huh
Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh
And men still keep on marching off to war
Electrically they keep a baseball score

Chorus

Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
The cars keep going faster all the time
Bums still cry "hey buddy, have you got a dime"

Chorus

Big old porn sites will come and they will go
how much cash they made no one will know
but rest assured they made more than enough
and so times for them are anything but tough

Chorus

Personally, I don't give a shit if times for them are tough or not. That is not the issue as far as I can see. They are just bad for the perception of the porn industry. A crook is a crook is a crook. What I care about is my own business and I don't want to be tarred by that brush.

Since I came down from Oregon, there's a lesson or two I've learned
By standing in the road alone, standing watching the fires burn.
The northern sky it stinks with greed, you can smell it for miles around,
Good ole boys in the Greystone Hotel, sitting doing that git on down.

Hold on for one blooming second there... did you just bust out a Grateful Dead quote and I freaking missed it? Jerry is going to come back from the grave and point his chopped off stub of a finger at me...

I was in shock and awe that you missed that. I was gonna make a smart ass comment about you forgetting your roots, but in my dotatge, I have become a kindler and gentler pornographer. Or maybe its just moving back to the West Coast.
