Why Affiliate Marketing is driving me Insane
Recently I launched my Own Product into the market and I am working on others. I tell you this because I have been an affiliate marketer for a fair while, but it is just driving me insane lately and I am going to launch my own stuff instead.
The main reason I am loosing it is that vendors have this weird Idea that they can sell the products they want me to promote for stupid low prices, while I struggle trying to sell the same product at 5 times the price to earn a commission.
If you decide your product is worth $97 THEN STICK TO IT!!!!
Don't start a sly website somewhere offering the bloody thing for $17 as a special offer because your dodging the commission fees.
It really sucks when you put in a few days, set up a campaign, get 500 clicks to a product NO SALES then when you do the Investigation as to why you didn't convert it is dicscovered that the product is available from other places like software directories for CENTS on the dollar.
If you want US to sell your product then you need to protect the affiliate's you have by NOT under cutting the price.
I Know you want fast sales, But it takes TIME to get affiliates, it takes time for those affiliates to get set up, it takes Time to get the flow of sales you need and want.
JUST GIVE US THE CHANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you plan on selling your product for $17 then just do that and Leave everyone else out of it.
If on the other hand you want some help, then BACK the people that offer it by Keeping the price consistant.
Lastly, Launching a product on Clickbank Then Offering a never ending WSO on the same product is a good example of this. If your going to do a WSO then perhaps warn affiliates so we can at least hold off until that is over. (If it ever ends at all)
Thanks I feel Much better
