asshole sponsor

Strange shit happens when you're a foreign webmaster, like one sponsor's checks used to come via Albania. My office address in envelope was right but someone had erased Finland and wrote Albania in that place. I must thank Albania's post office who sent those checks to Finland, lol!

There is sponsors who seems to use that one tactic: when you sign-up for them and you build couple of sites you get nice sign-ups but when you build more sites, nothing.

As I have been in this for years I test new sponsors building something like 2-3 free sites. If I have nice sign-ups, that's good. It's always money in bank. Then I build one more, and if I still get sign-ups, I build one more. If sign-ups stops I forget that sponsor.

I also build a lot for sponsors who use CC Bill. It's nice to have their check every Monday morning. Also those smaller sponsors are glad to mail with me and help me to promote them more like giving more free content if their sites are so exclusive you need it. Many times their sites are very small niches that don't give you many surfers, but those surfers are buyers, because they know there is not many places on net where they can find what they want. Usually those sites are excellent, you don't even have to know anything about that niche, just copy text from tour.

As an example, one sponsor has cbt site. WTF is cbt I thought...well, I took tour and now I know. I downloaded free content and built couple of sites and got some sign-ups and I still got new sign-ups and rebills. Not so many per week, but that sponsor use CC Bill...
