Party Riches Members Affiliate Negotiations

adioking · #1 06-23-2005, 04:29 PM

Jeremy, I just got this fantastic idea that will help everybody in this forum. I believe that you and Randy have the power to make it work.

I was wondering if you two could talk to the major online poker rooms and negotiate a certain MGR for PartyRiches members only. Tell them that we are serious affiliates and we believe that we work hard. We aren't just people trying to make a few bucks off of a few friends with CPA. All of us work extremely hard to push as many clients their way as possible and they need to understand this. Even if it was an extra 1%, it's still something more.

We are not just something like www.warez.com who posts poker as an ad on an offtopic website. We all have highly targeted websites that can pull higher quality players in and that is a reason I believe they will do it. This is also helpful to us because we dont all have to email them as individuals, we are a team, a family, and we can make it happen as that.

Warmest regards all,
dAn

I am thinking this could be a blockbuster idea if approached in the right way!

Definately. off the topic does anyone know when party affiliate support comes in? the site says 9 pm to 5 am and everybody tells me something different.

thanks

Fellas I put this in a previous post.. I like the idea.
There is a ebay-sellers-union.
When ebay raised there rates they negotiated with ebay and got there rates lowered.
We join together and see what some negotiating can do..
Worse that happens they say no.
However as some of you may know there are alot of costs related to this business..
I would rather recieve better customer service,get paid on time and let the programers develop better software than worry about 5% but that is just my opinion..
Overall though I say give it a shot let the community grow..
GOOD LUCK TO US ALL!!!
John

Sounds like a great idea. I think Jeremy and Randy would see a sudden increase in forum members if this were to happen

There is no way this would work without some strict requirements on what a "PartyRiches affiliate forum member" was (which would be a huge hastle for the admin to monitor). Been here 3 months, atleast 50 posts, atleast 10 quality posts a month, whatever... if not, you'll have a bunch of people signing up just for the pay raise, and eventually (word travels fast in this industry) 80% of affiliates would be claiming to be a member here lol

I was originally not going to say anything here, but in the end I have succumbed.

I disagree with this concept for one reason - and I have stated this several times: Build a relationship with your Affiliate Manager. . I know you all work very hard here, and trully respect this. I see my role as someone who helps you all, and take this very seriously, which means that I will do anything to help you.

However, a relationship should not be built through a forum - I want to know what you are doing, and how you intend doing it before I put your case to Paradise. Also, take one thing into account - even if your MGR is the standard for a few months, it is unlikely to make a massive difference at first. If you succeed in bringing 20 Players a month, your overall commissions is not going to be huge until months 3-4 - and at that time you will be in a much stronger position to bargain with your Affiliate Manager than if you spoke to them before with promises...

Well now that I heard from a affiliate reps side I have to agree with him..
I am sure any program worth there weight will recognize a top affiliate..
Thanks Stephan

It wouldn't be wrong for this forum to make affiliate deals that allowed for generous sub-affiliate terms, but the original idea just won't work. Everyone who reads here is not a serious , hardworking affiliate, even if most may be. Any group is vulnerable to the sleazy actions of one of the group, like if someone in the group did something like this crap:

A whole lot of policing would have to go on, with a pretty brutal ejection policy if someone misbehaves. You can't let a bad apple spoil the bunch.
