Sales are down and it cost us too much to send out $100 checks so we'll up it to $200.
What I'm saying is be different as a sponsor and lower the min payouts and you will see more small affiliates promoting.
The whole great debate. What is better a big affiliate that can send you 10 sales a day or 5 that can send you 2 sales a day? some will say the 10 guy cause the 5 will bug you for tools and stupid shit. I've done this long enough that I don't need stupid shit to promote.
For you, it's all about content but she never asked what is wrong with our product. She asked what would it take to get us to promote her stuff. I answered the question.

You bring up a really excellent point in terms of actually promoting a Program. Regardless of whether Paul Markham scoffs at affiliates complaining about $100 payouts being small-time or not - ironic since $100 in CZ where Paul lives probably pays all his medical bills for the month - it IS important.
If you, as an affiliate, promote hundreds of Programs, and each keep raising their payouts to above $100, then it gets insanely frustrating to have all that money "out there" and not getting any of it. So yes, lower payouts will attract affiliates.
