Lets stay with referback.
I didn’t start promoting them until about a year and a half ago, for a vriety of reasons. By then they had been in the affiliate business for – what – 6 years? Maybe 5, not sure.
For the first 8 months or more I made peanuts and would have been much better off on CPA. Then I slowly started to get some of my own players in place.
Every month I brought a few new players and they cross promoted them.
After the year and a half, when I sold G&C, the Referback account had grown to play a major role in price.
I only wish I had realized much earlier in the game that with a program like that effort and loyalty truly pay.
I would have done a lot better for myself all along.
BTW. referback put this to vote a while ago, and the vast majority voted to keep the program the way it’s always been, with people truly having the player for life.
