So, I decided a few days ago that I was going to move a niche that I was doing from one network to another that had a similar offer with a higher payout. Now, I did some quick testing and notice within a couple days of stats the offer with the higher payout had roughly the same conversion rate as the offer I was currently running that had the lower payout.
Needless to say, I switched to the new offer allowing myself to receive the higher payout and instantly boost my Return Over Investment (ROI). Now I had been fighting with my normal company to increase my payout on this offer I was running and if they did I would definitely be able to double my traffic going to the offer as I would be able to raise my bids on the PPC networks I’m using. Now with this particular offer I was only doing about 5,000 a month with, so needless to say, they decided they weren’t going to raise my payout. Which I’m completely fine with and even understand.
So anyways, I move to the new network which is paying out $5.00 more per lead for a similar offer with a similar conversion rate and raise my bids which well you guess it doubles my traffic which in turns makes the niche go from 5,000 a month to 8,000 a month. So I’m pretty happy considering the work to switch to the other offer took a whole 30 minutes tops. (Filling out their application and switching my links over)
What do you think happens next. The CPA network I was originally running the offer with contacts me and tells me they will match the payout. Are you KIDDING ME! Match the offer, I couldn’t get you to even raise it a dollar, yet the moment I leave your willing to raise it $5.00 dollars! I mean seriously…
I get tired of these affiliate companies that act like they can’t give you another cent because then they wouldn’t be making out yet the moment you switch to another company here they come willing to go above and beyond what you originally was even asking for! It reminds me of sears…You find a better offer somewhere and sears says oh okay well we’ll match it…
Needless to say, Your not getting my business because you match an offer. Beat the offer! If I see an offer and one company is giving a better payout on it, I’m going with that company, they are the ones willing to give more to their affiliates! When you say that you’ll match the offer it makes it sound like your screwing over all the other affiliates that don’t notice that other networks have the same or similar offer with a better payout! If you want our business offer the better payout to begin with. Don’t make us beg and moan and say you can’t do it only to find out another network can…its makes you well…it makes you a liar!
