It’s About Bloody Time!

Posted on January 12th, 2009 by Collin in affiliate marketing

As I was sifting through my affiliate networks today to see if there was any income that came in over the weekend I noticed something very interesting from Market Leverage.

It looks like all the bitching and complaining that has been done over the past few months has finally paid off. New affiliates that have never used Market Leverage before now have a base of tutorial videos to view to help them get through the Market Leverage affiliate network.

Personally I think more networks need to do this for new affiliates that join there sites. Understanding how a networks system works is key. If I send someone to a network and they sign up but can’t figure out how to find offers, or even get the code onto there sites…..what’s the point.

This was one thing that really ticked me off about Tyler Cruz’s ML contests he was running and when he said it was a success. It was a complete failure in my mind. He claims to have 150 referrals under his affiliate link but yet when his contests were going on there was usually only 5 or 10 showing up in the records. And they were usually always the same people. How can you call that anything other then a failure Tyler? Anyways!

I did sign up under Tyler’s link when his first contest was on. At the time I was really new to affiliate marketing and I was hoping he was going to have some pointers so I could learn. After I went on the Top Affiliate Challenge I realized that Tyler knew less then I did about affiliate marketing and I stopped looking at ML to make me money or to grab offers from. I didn’t want to be under Tyler’s link and I still don’t.

I am glad ML stopped sponsoring Tyler’s contest and started looking into training new affiliates. They have a ways to go yet but I can see at least they are going in the right direction. It’s about time!

Now all they have to do is come up with a way to teach new affiliates how to make some money and they will have a solid network with some very loyal affiliates. Maybe it’s time for Market Leverage to hire a trainer!!!

 Its About Bloody Time!

    You make good points. He says he signed up so many people but you only see a handful of people. And the same guy wins everytime! He does generate a ton of revenue though.
