Some things to speed the process would be:-
  • Don't sign up with a gmail email account, use one that relates to real domain. That way we know you do actually own or control that domain.
  • When asked for a domain that you own, pick a live one that shows some of what you do and the style you do it in, not the new one you are working on that has zero content.
  • When the program owner or rep adds you to ICQ, APPROVE them, they're just trying to say "hi, how can we help?" and just check you are real, not waste a load of your time chatting.
  • Imagine you are dealing with a human. "Gimme my free content" doesn't play quite as well as "hey man, like yer stuff, can I get access?"
  • Telegraphing you have a short attention span doesn't inspire confidence. Good affiliates are hardworking, long term and patient in everything they do.
The gmail thing is kinda retarded, I can see your point but a lot of webmasters use Gmail including me. I signed up for a certain sponsor using a domain email and eventually I dropped that domain...and then I couldn't change information in NATS because NATS would send the emails to a domain email that didn't exist anymore because I no longer owned the domain...which I then had to go through the trouble of trying to get in touch with the sponsor and having to scan my ID and a voided check to prove the account belong to me and to change payment info and email...because of shit like that I always use Gmail for all of my email.
