Lessons from Affiliates


By Lisa Picarille

December 4th, 2008

Thanks to Linda Buquet for pointing out this blog post. Talk about being honest. This young affiliate details how his monthly income plunged from more than $300,000 a month to $182.64 in November. I found the story compelling. It can’t be easy to expose your missteps for all to see. But there are good lessons to be had from his experience.

I also really enjoyed a recent post by Melanie Seery at NYAffiliateVoice.com. She writes about Herb, a NY affiliate that was seriously impacted by the tax laws. Definitely worth checking out.

    Sorry, but this guy is full of crap. There is no way you go from $300k to $182 per month. His blog was always full of B.S. and he’s just doing classic linkbaiting here.

    Anyone who believes a word that guy says needs their head examined.

    Glad you enjoyed the post Lisa, thanks for mentioning it. I still have a few other updates on NY affiliates to upload. I have found interviewing these other affiliates very interesting and they like sharing their stories.
