How can sponsers afford us?

Speaking as a sponsor, I often ask this question myself

.

Seriously though, it is a case of "Many a miccle macks a muckle". For example my program gives 70% to the affiliate and I take 30%, i.e. they get more than twice what I get, and I have to pay for content, bandwidth, design, etc. But the reason I have the affiliate program when I could get the full 100% for selling it myself is that there is a limit to the amount of time I can spend pushing my sites. So when an affiliate sells one of my sites I may only make a few cents out of it, but if I have enough affiliates selling enough memberships, those few cents will multiply to more money than I could make on my own.

Unfortunately I do not yet have that many affiliates so am not making much out of it. (Goes off muttering about the unfairness of the world).
