I wish I knew then what I know now. There were 6 others that I knew of that started when I did but their knowledge far exceeded mine and although we were top affiliates at the time they made alot more than I did. I had a free web site when I started and their name had to be a part of my domain which made the url very long.
I also know I only have 2 whales left out of the 14 I used to have. I also may have had my rep ruined by alot of depositors when I promoted Quicksilver, who thankfully isn’t around anymore. They owed me over 14k that I never saw and alot of winners never got their winnings. There were so many crooked sites in 00 and 01.
Sites would also change their terms as they saw fit. I remember shark casino always had over 100 new depositors every month and I never made a dime until one month they all lost and again I never saw any money as they changed their terms again. The majority of my players would make a one time minimum deposit and never do it again.
Prestige casino used to convert extremely well – went to CPays and haven’t made a dime since.
It’s a funny business – the programs I made money on last year – this year nothing. The programs I didn’t used to make money with, is what’s keeping me going this year. I made a good commission from august from casino rewards and after only 3 days of september I almost have last months beat. The good thing is knowing it can’t go down if someone wins big.
It’s a funny yet frustrating business.
