The programs that do not value smaller affiliates will not have them around once they get big. The affiliate will have moved on to places that were helpful and appreciative from the start.
Never be discouraged – if you have something to bring to the table – a new idea, a special promo, whatever, always see if there is a program that wants to help you with it.
Chances are there will be. Maybe not the first one you ask, but if you keep looking I am quite positive that you will find someone to work with you.
That is what relationships are built on and profitable associations are made of. Programs and affiliates help each other make more money, and the more we cooperate, the more it works.
Of course the handful of super affiliates gets to make better deals. These are the vast minority however, and the smart program concentrates on on growing small and medium affiliates bigger. If one makes more money, so does the other. We depend on each other, and it’s good to find the dependable programs.
