Greenguy's Board - View Single Post - how to get a good start with a new program

You missed the point of my post. I was not posting to ask you to justify your site, I was pointing out what changes you need to make to get webmasters to sign up to your affiliate program.

1. If a webmaster is interested in promoting solo girl sites he will already have a full portfolio. He will have no interest whatsoever in signing up another one unless you give him a reason yours is better. Regardless of what UW says, saying your sites are as good but no better than others is saying "don't bother signing up with me, you already have plenty of sponsors like this, go elsewhere and find a better sponsor". (That said DON'T lie, just find a reason you are better, or different, to others.)

2. Don't tell me this, make it clear on your site (although be more concise than you were in your post). You need to convince anyone who comes to your site that you really can run a website on 15% of membership fees. Otherwise a lot of them will assume you are a shaver and not sign up.

3. and 4. Again make this clear on your site (although again make it more concise). If I had come across your affiliate program as it is while looking for solo sites to promote, I would not have signed up. But if it had all the info you have in your post I probably would have done.

Although N.B. my comment "make it more concise". I read all your post here, but if there had been that much wordage on an affiliate site I would have skipped it and gone elsewhere. Try to make each point in 3 short sentences or less.
