I also own and manage commercial, retail and residential properties too.
I am surprised that people would be dumfounded that someone who has worked in the affiliate marketing industry for ten years might offer consulting services in addition to the other things he does or why that is somehow sinister as suggested by recent videos and threads elsewhere.
Lets face it after, UIGEA many of us saw our incomes plummet by a large percentage. I have a family to feed and fairly high expenses to maintain, so naturally I looked at ways of diversifying and replacing that lost income. Frankly I dont think offering consulting services as being a bad way of staying afloat personally.
Also bear in mind I draw a salary for what I do at CAP from Affiliate Media Inc. which is growing into a large company. So does Warren. Its not like the two of us split the certification fees that come in down the middle and whistle all the way to the bank. Our overhead is enormus and we are building for the future so our salaries are conservative.
Listen, everyone here has known me for years and thousands of you have been to our conferences and events. You have seen what CAP does and how we always strive to improve things for affiliates and the industry. You have seen how we help each other when the chips are down and how we rise to the occasion when there is something that needs to be corrected. Why are we wasting so much time and energy on all of this crap? Havent we all got better things to do? I know I do and CAP does.
CAPTV and MyCAP are just the begining of all the wonderful things we have planned for 2009 and I would rather work on those initiatives.
Hi Lou,
Thanks – but I’m just trying to figure out what’s up – and convey how this appears. I don’t think being transparent is anybody’s waste of time.
If it seemed that I was running a casino via another business entity, and had that casino listed on my accredited list, I would have been publicly drawn and quartered, and then stomped on a couple of times for good measure. It would put a major wrench in the gears of Accreditation at Casinomeister. Players would be freaking out on me. Hell, I would be freaking out on me.
Added: And if the Accredited casinos on my site got wind that they were paying me to compete against me, they would be grabbing the pitchforks and torches as well.
Off to the old mill!!
Perhaps I’m the only one who sees this, thus the quietness of this thread. I’ll go back to my place where I belong I guess
