MAKING A MILLION -- Nov 19 -- Traditionally affiliate programs
will deliberately hide a lot of the detail, often just give you your
balances and member totals. White Label systems are generally more transparent with their
commissions because they have to be, though this is not always true.
Where you have to be careful is being given way too optimistic
conversions and retentions rates which lead to unachievable
expectations. The difficulties in comparing one system to another are:
- data is presented and accessed differently
- it is time consuming to collate
- I have to use a few algorithms to standardise the different data I collect.
Having too much data can be dangerous! You won't find the
information you need quickly. The most important information you need is: Members, Paying
Members, New Sales Totals & Re-Order Totals for any given month or
pay period.
