so a guy asked me to explain how being an affiliate works - GoFuckYourself.com

SarahLLO · 05-04-2010, 04:33 PM

and when i showed him a sponsor's website as an example, he somehow interpreted the "we pay you $40 per every sale you send us" stuff as "affiliate has to pay the sponsor $40 every time the affiliate refers a sale"

and then he was like oh no, i don't think i can afford to do this!!

i agreed and stopped talking to him, because what.

(he also asked me why wordpress themes are called themes, and when i was like, well a theme is a recurring motif or design, and themes bring a uniform design to a blog, this also baffled him. he is 25 years old and does not understand the definition of "theme" - when i asked him to give me an example of a theme, trying to help him grasp it, he gave me an example of... a splash landing page. no. no, something that only occurs once, on the landing page, by definition is not recurring, and thus not a theme. shut up, i hate you.)

I really hate arguments or discussions that for some, hinge on some stupid fundamental misunderstanding. Facepalms were invented for that.

The Heron · 05-05-2010, 09:56 AM

Most people have a very poor grasp of how the world works. They just know if they go to the store there is shit to buy and if they go to work they get paid. Idiots

dirtybaker1331 · 05-05-2010, 10:04 AM

We need people like that. If everybody knew what they were doing then nobody would make money. The pie would be split so many ways that all affiliates would be left with crumbs.

Tell him it works like this.

Click on this banner here:

Deposit money and bet on the world cup and repeat daily.

That makes me the affiliate.

PR_Glen · 05-05-2010, 10:19 AM

buying sales for 40 dollars?? that's just silly... tell him to send you 10g's upfront and you will hook him up with some serious sales! ;)

ottopottomouse · 05-05-2010, 10:23 AM

It's about 5% here in the UK that cannot read at all and quite a few more that have no comprehension skills.
I used to teach reading - nice feeling when you can see someone actually start to make sense of things when you know its a (basic) skill for life

Ask him to repeat this line and learn it WELL;

"Would you like Fries with that?"

Elli · 05-05-2010, 10:51 AM

It sounds like he's not computer savvy much at all. Probably heard that "there's ways to make money on the internet" and was trying to find out more.

CDSmith · 05-05-2010, 01:03 PM

My bank manager asked me similar questions a few years back. I tried explaining the affiliate-program business model using Amazon.com as the prime example, as well as providing several comparative examples such as the franchise system, sub-contractors, etc. We had a very lovely conversation for nearly an hour about this, after which I still sensed major confusion. She grasped the real-world applications, but every time the example was applied to the internet her grasp of the concept seemed to evaporate. Every. Time. And she's not the only one I've tried explaining what I do to.

Conclusion; when it comes to the internet there are still a lot of people out there who have zero grasp of what it is much less how money is made on it.

Thus this guy friend of yours isn't all that alone in his ignorance.

I wish that were the case. He's a mod on an internet forum and spends like 95% of his time online, from what he's told me.

Earning commission on sales is a super hard concept to comprehend.
