Hello Andrew,

Good post! But am I missing the point?

Can the two not be combined, I mean I use Social Marketing to market my Affiliate Sites and this is working well, it is an essential part of my marketing efforts?

I’m with you there, especially given the reality of the issue of transparency.

Unless there’re safeguards in place like an industry association and/or some degree of oversight on networks/merchants, it’s hard to figure out if you’re getting your due.

From the numbers aspect, I’m just not sure I always like being paid a one-time $100 on a $39.99 rebill bizop offer.

There’s a whole mindset shift that needs to occur in the industry before any meaningful change takes place.

I would say it’s with good reason most affiliates prefer one time payouts.
Honestly, it’s the only way to accurately figure out what your bottom line is. I don’t want to promote an offer for 3 months and then figure out its not profitable because members don’t stay signed up long enough…
What I have seen and liked though is sites that pay a lower amount on the free signup, then a bonus if it converts to paid.
