Now that there is an industry shaking statement!
I was wondering what was going on when a bunch of GFYers started hitting me up for content for their affiliate programs. Word is some of the hentai/anime stuff people were using was in violation of international copyrights. Something I figured would happen one day.
That and just the need for content that they know is original. Much like you guys who shoot vids and pics. Better to know the supplier than meet the judge.
I knew something else was wrong as people have been nagging me for an affiliate program for years and years. The one I experimented with late last year I had a good number of pro webmasters sign up and encourage me. I then felt I needed some new approaches as in serialized comics so I held off a bit. Just changed hosts, went to webmaster class, snagged some great clientel and should have met my quota for additional webmaster income in a few days. Took me 3 1/2 months to get here doing webmastering more full time but it's worth it. Broke through that glass ceiling too. Now on to doing the more lucrative real estate stuff.
But what Gonzo is saying is worth waiting to hear. I'll bet it fills in some gaps to as to why so many affliate programs don't sell for shit.
