Ive asked programs for content before now, most just give me access to the site. They give me content and i make sales with that content. Its a good partnership. Whats wrong with that?
Marc,

Becky isnt talking about you, and neither am i, specifically we are talking about the 95% of affiliates who do expect above and beyond what everyone else needs which unfortunately, is almost every affiliate these days because we have (for want of a better word) 'bred' that mentality in to them over the past 5+ years.

The ones who expect program owners to update their FHG collection with 1000's of FHGs every day, the ones who expect program owners to update their free content with 100 additional sets every day, the ones who expect program owners to build and submit their sites for them, the ones who expect program owners to pay them $100 instantly by Epassporte for a free trial membership, these are the affiliates that make up 95% of all programs affiliate base and these are the affiliates that are lazy and frankly, not of any worth to a program.

You (and those like you) on the other hand, who only wants a few FHGs, updated banners, and fair payouts based on the amount of sales you can send, make up the remaining 5% of affiliate in every program and these are the ones that should be building up a loyalty with as Becky mentioned in her post.

Regards,

Lee
