Lindsay, let me say 1 thing first, so you can drop your paranoia ...

If I truly thought your program wasn't worth of discussion, I wouldn't have brought it up. Take it as a compliment, I want to hear what you have to say - don't be a baby just because I asked you a difficult question to back up your ranting about shaving.

I like Tim & have known him for a long time, our history is all positive except for a certain friend he chooses to keep ;-) We've had some really fun times and I will always wish him the most success. You've gotten more publicity here for a first time visitor than most programs ... accident ya think?

I know why your program is structured how it is ... its smart ... you get to use impressive numbers like $45 per signup to attract webmasters but really you never have to pay more than 50% rev share to anyone but a handful of webmasters.

I thought about going this fancy bullshit marketing direction with the bling which is 50% rev share, and have on programs before ... but to be honest this time round I just couldn't be bothered putting cream and a cherry on top. If you have traffic that matches my sites, the payout will be what it is ... half of the total amount billed from the customers you send us. The better your traffic & my sites match, the more money we all make. We'll make as many sites as possible to pick up the webmasters we need.

You don't need to sell me on the benefits of wording your payout the way you have, but you can't speak on behalf of programs who are *actually* paying people per signup & act like you are doing something better when your program is effectively 50% rev share.

This kind of marketing may work on gfy, and to some extent on oprano, but if you really want to take the credibility that Tim has built over the years and do it justice you need to be able to back up your claims & let webmasters know why they should be promoting your product. Its GOOD ... the sites are GOOD ... if webmasters have the traffic for it. If you want them to build traffic for it, you need to teach them why and you will need to do more than just have an impressive sounding payout.

Whether you want to come on air or not is up to you ... I will ask you the questions that I KNOW our listeners want the answers to. Some will be uncomfortable to answer and some will not. I guarantee at the end, you will have the attention of webmasters who aren't impressed by your $45 payout.
