Warning to Affiliates: Check your commission % before promoting!

Hi guys,

I just got to get this off my chest. I agreed to promote a JV partner's program that offers a $1 trial, then $97 monthly afterwards. The sales page is very convincing so I thought it would earn both of us a huge sum.

I was right (about the program being a great seller) but very wrong (about earning both of us a huge sum). Only he earned a lot (99% of $97 per month from every customer I referred to him), while I get a teeny-weeny 1% from my all out efforts.

But it's not his fault. He gave me my affiliate link for his program and I didn't bother to check how much is the commission % (I thought it's more or less 50% as is normal with most Clickbank products). I never thought it's only 1%!

I asked him to check if anything's wrong and he said it really is 1%! He even attached images where he indicates 1% in the CB marketplace.

He says it's 1% because he's doing all the research and stuffs to create new products every month. But he's going to create them anyway for his other customers!

Oh well, it was not his fault. It was my fault for not checking. Lesson learned!
