Agree. The days of affiliates dominating what sponsors offer are over except for the large Tube Sites who want more content to sell ad space.
Sadly a lot of affiliates aren't moving with the times. They put up 100s of things linked to 100s of sites and hope something lands. Can't really call that promoting as it degrades the word. All they want is tools so they can add them and hope.
More sad is the lack of marketing from sponsors. Who creates content purely for marketing? And I don't mean editing a scene down to 10 minutes for a Tube site or creating a banner. Who creates an interesting promotion campaign on FB, YT, Twitter, etc? Let alone going outside that world.
Back in the day porn marketing was far more involved. Mainstream marketing involves a lot more than putting up banners and content then making sure they get the webmastering bit right and hoping someone buys.
How many threads have we seen with sponsors asking affiliates what they want or a sponsor telling us they have a new girl?
OP if you want more people to promote Hustler.
Get Hustler to do something that warrants more people promoting you. And I don't mean lower the payments level or give affiliates more of the same content.
