Hello and welcome to AffiliateFix!


Wow, how things have changed!

As T J Tutor said, get your business registered before doing any promoting. It's fast, free and easy to apply but if you need any help with your submission, just let us know.

Enjoy the forums.
Thank you, for sure I will register!

Yes, things changed a lot in 20 years but Subscriptions still same, just change the content that advertisers offers.

Wow, 20 years! That's very impressive.

Bet you've seen it all and learned so much along the way.

How have you seen the industry or your role change over the years? Just curious! :)

Welcome to AffiliateFix!
I started in affiliate marketing around 2005. At that time, affiliate monetization was based on SMS (sending a certain number of SMS messages to gain access to some content), Web Dialers (dial-up connections that billed per minute), and credit card subscriptions.

Some things have changed a lot, while others still same. For eg, credit card subscriptions, trial prices, and rebills are basically the same as they were 20 years ago. My friend (the guy who owned those offers in the sc) was offering high-quality content at a time when the internet lacked content.

That guy who owned the offers was really visionary. In 2005, at just 19 years old, he was billing $25 million a year! He basically covered everything: operators, processors, SMS, credit cards, dialers, adult content, mainstream content... everything! He's still my idol, and we keep in touch on Facebook. He's actually doing nothing now, at around 38 years just enjoying life... for two decades.

Internet has no massive traffic as like today, but knowed guys that making 5k daily, 20 yrs ago was lot of money...

  • The Widening Makeup of the Internet and Smartphone-Driven Traffic
  • Increasing Access, Decreasing Purchasing Power
  • Traffic Volume ≠ Worthwhile Returns
  • Freemium Models and the Devaluation of Paid Content
  • Monetization Through Opt-In Marketing

The makeup of the Internet has widened to include many with a smartphone and little real money to spend.

It's very hard to make a worthwhile return just based on this 'massive traffic' volume.

Many things people would pay for 20 years ago the can find for free, or for little cost, usually some marketing opt-in (email/sms/other CPA)

I think that 500,000 people, making $2,000 a year, amounts too little for us OG ;)
