They are the hardest aspect of this job in my opinion, its easier to create traffic than to get your cash out of some of the lying cheating money grabbing sponsors ,who will hold n hold n hold n hold your money you earnt, until you tell them you will bring it up in forums if they cant be nice in private, then they pay you in seconds with a guilty mind.
Like any job in the world, its done to get paid, you only have a problem if your not getting paid, so good advice to anyone new thinking its hard, as soon as you see evidence of a bad paying sponsor...RUN A MILE.
Sponsors are ten a penny, and the ones who are serious, honest and give a shit always pay you on time, as they have already sat on your cash long enough. As for tube sites, its natural and to be expected the way content is given away by programmes.

Back in the early days when I was making ridiculously easy money hand over fist I was burned and ripped off by sponsors many times. I havent been ripped off by a sponsor since 2001. Sponsors paying and paying on time is one aspect of this biz that has gotten much better.
