Just done a mailing to all our affiliates and it's so depressing to find how many have closed since our last mail just two weeks ago.
We hardly ever get a new affiliate nowadays, so our list is getting smaller and smaller
Whilst I understand we all need to do more to get direct traffic etc, our affiliates used to provide an excellent level of business to add to our own efforts. Daft thing is that there is still reasonable money to be made as an affiliate, if you do it right. Not the megabucks of the old days but enough to make a good living if you are prepared to put the effort in.
Oh well!
