Default Be careful when choosing an affiliate program.

As an affiliate I was fairly successful. Sadly for me the company for whom i worked is not honest. I made bunch of sales for them and in return... they will not pay me. One of the sales leads simply disappeared the day before pay out was supposed to happen. I have tried contacting their affiliate rep, but I get nowhere. I have spent a lot of time and money promoting their product and in return... I get nothing.
So the point is: be very careful when choosing which company you'd like to be an affiliate for. Their product might be great and their customer service is good, but they might not be good at all to their affiliates. research the company.

I hate these stories. I'm an affiliate and I know how hard we need to work to find a profitable campaign, so when I see another affiliate who got scammed... it really drives me crazy!

I don't know if you were dealing directly with the advertiser, but if yes, you need to be careful when doing this. The payouts can be better if you don't use the networks, but it's always a risky business model.

Also, when working with networks try to work with the bigger ones most of time. They will always pay you as long as you send high quality traffic to their offers.

Now, if you think that there is nothing you can do to get your money, try to use the same site/campaign to promote another similar offer. You already have the winning formula and there probably is other offers that you can use to replace the one you're using now.

Truth is ... every mainstream affiliate network skims and tries to keep their affiliates in the dark. I lost more than 10k with one network when they just wouldnt pay.

So what I did was round up a few super-affiliates myself and get into our own "private network" where we choose offers that make money and share them amongst ourselves. That way, everybody wins and makes more money. So yeah, now it's back to 5-figures a month in profit across the board.

Any questions just let me know
