I am not an affiliate manager. I am the owner of a company that has been around longer than many people on this board have even been alive. I have rolled with change after change in the industry. I have listened to every excuse why the industry is going to blah blah fucking blah.
Guess what?
The industry is doing just fine. People still pay for porn, by your admissions even you are getting paid. If you can do well enough without using tubes for traffic then more power to you. If you can do that then you shouldn't be complaining about tubes like they hurt you at all. Because, from my experience, the smart people in this biz are always staying on top of the changes and figuring out what works, and not worrying or complaining about what doesn't work.  |
Hello Kitten. Am I going to see you in PHX this year?
Hoping so.
The problem with affiliates (as evidenced in this thread) is that most have never had a real job, most aren't old enough or smart enough to understand that markets change over time, and none of them realize that "affiliate" is a dead end job.
The market, the internet, and the end user have all matured. There's simply little need for an affiliate in today's world. Are there a few programs that still use them? sure. Are there a few affiliates still making a little money? sure. I also drove past a coin operated phone booth the other day.
Dear affiliate, you will never make more than you are right now. Stop pretending you will and understand that all you are doing is putting off getting a real job and potentially starting a real career. You're wasting valuable time in your life that you really don't have. You are NOT one of the people like the very few of us who make good money here. You don't have the brains, skills, or work ethic to be one of us. Go get a real job and stop complaining about your fake one.
