I'm gonna theorize that the person who made $6400 that month probably had a ton of rebills in the mix? And as a good affiliate rep Kristin makes it look nice maybe by not saying that part?

I would also say that when I had a lot of traffic I could have very easily sent 6400 one dollar joins in a month if I had pushed one sponsor really, really hard instead of promoting hundreds of them at once.

I don't see anybody, anywhere doing any kind of numbers like we used to push as an affiliate. And I don't see any of my formerly monster affiliates sending us shit to our paysites either.

I wish I did. But if y'all want to sit around and pretend that it's all good and everything is just fine...I don't know what to tell ya. Keep believing in these super cool affiliates who live secretive lives like they are Michael Jackson and send hundreds and thousands of joins to select paysites that they choose like Gods.

Either way, it ain't making either of us a thin red dime if you believe it or I don't believe it.

They are all on the same internet as you and I. Live in the same world. Have to deal with the same reality.

If I send a thousand REAL surfers who clicked on a link to a paysite and they went through the tour and then did NOT buy...how do these magic affiliates somehow convince their real surfers that the same tour is somehow going to make them buy in droves?

And why is the majority of the industry not named "Manwin" failing if these big mystery whales are out there with their magic powers?
Just to clarify, that $6400 was the commission to one Topbuck's affiliate rep for one month, which translates to 6400 new affiliate sales ($1 per sale commission, rebills not included). According to that thread their other reps have to produce at least 500 new sales each month, so clearly there are some affiliates still producing many sales. I feel you though, my ratios continue to decline across the board.
