I'll level with you guys, most of what's said in there is pretty much true.
We've maxed out our own ability to scale this any further, for whatever reason (in the case of Affiliation Cash, it's labourhours... I got pulled in because I was always chatting with my AM, so I got to be an AM).
Honestly, I don't do that much of my own affiliate stuff anymore because I'm too busy wiping the sweat off of other people's backs, metaphorically. I get other people to sell my stuff for me, and take the cream off the top... but that in itself is pretty intensive.
For CPA based on sales of an actual product, it's got to do with the amount of time it actually takes to fill out and process orders.
For digital products, it's because there are only so many domains you can own, and only so much SEO you can do for all of those domains, where, before you know it, it's become a 12 hours a day job to keep it all together and stay on top... So I'm told by the man upstairs.
The best you, as an affiliate, can hope for is honesty and trust with the people you're working for.
Wisejoker pretty much hit the nail on the head. Use AM as a training ground for your own shit. If you're sticking with AM, and not making it to the top of the pile (because it kind of really is just a shrunk down MLM system... based on the
Trapezoid!), it's either because you're not really meant to be in the game in the first place or just happy (lazy?) enough to coast along.
If coasting works, more power to you, but if money is what's important to you, then you have to strike out and be the one on top, offering something new that no one else has thought of before (hint: it's not an eBook)
The thing is, it doesn't matter where you are on the ladder, it's all bloody hard work if you're doing it right...
