Boldy LOL
here's how you do it...
""Dear XXXX,
I am currently sending traffic to this program and grossing this amount.
(Please see screencap attached to confirm.)
What figure above this number would you be able to pay for this traffic.?""
Note:
1.)No mention of joins , everyone can contrast and compare shaves , (

has an educated guess at what rate (a) is shaving and vice versa and what the can trim the shave down to to retain yr services. ;-)))
2.)Once the second affiliate owner says x + Y% , you ask for a 42" plasma as a signing bonus.
3.)No mentionion of going back to (a) and saying (

will pay X has been taken into account , which can happen a few times...though if you piss them off ,eventually they'll shave you harder...sometimes in the form og a "golden handcuffs" (describe at future time LOL)
This works perfectly unless affiliate owner one is a sneaky fucking Russian and affiliate owner two is a bolt cutter weilding Aussie.
;-))
Then they call each other up ,play piggy in the middle , with you being the piggy ,and you end up buying them the plasma screen , taking less money , but walking away thinking you got one hell of a deal!!
;-)))
