We are doing exactly what the programs are counting on – nothing.
As long as there is a handful of happy and prolific affiliates working for them, they don’t need the rest of us. We have already done the work – branding them by posting their banners all over the net.
While “bundling” forces us to spread out and make sure our eggs are not in one basket, the punishment for not sending new players is trying to force us to do the opposite.
If we protect ourselves against losses from one program, we will incur possible financial punishment from others as we may not send new players all the time to everyone we promote if we are widely spread out.
I still say that we need to diversify – there are still enough programs that treat us decently so we do not need to deal with those that do not.
Oh, and regarding an earlier post I made in this thread – I stand corrected. I met with Anrit in Miami – who is David’s boss. So I received very respectful treatment by Fortune, and I thank them for this. Unfortunately, one way or another, they are still in breach of contract. I truly wish it wasn’t so. Perhaps talks with the IGC will help find another way for Fortune and the other three programs now in breach.
