View Poll Results: What were your affiliate earnings for February
I am a very rare bird in this industry of affiliate marketing. I have never and likely will never market any other site but UB.
By network marketing I mean taking a package, basically a turnkey operation to other entrepeneurs and say, here is what you sell. You will likely see some of what I am speaking of soon. Currently, most online sites have zero customer service, I try to fill that gap for UB a little. Most sites give you banners and say, go get it tiger, UB is no different. What I have created is a way for all the little guys to seem a lot bigger and give them the same resources that the biggest affiliates do. Because that is what my group collectively accomplishes.
I didn't start this way. I started like all of you did. I did however come in with a plan and lost money for the first 5 months developing my plan.
But to answer your question on how I get my subs. I am a networker, at all WPT and WSOP I hand out at least 100 business cards. My big push was in Aruba, I did some work for UB without asking for a penny. Because of that I got to be well known throughout UB so when I gave someone my business card, they usually called me. I have stumbled through and continue to stumble through lots of relationships.
I think the best asset that I bring to an organization is a look at it and go "what can I do for them that they are not doing for themselves". I know UB appreciates that, I would assume most online sites would. Fact is, I am willing to take a small percentage of a whole lot.
In January my biggest sub made more than I did. I think that is one of the things that makes me unique, that was one of the happiest days I have ever had. I enjoy sharing success. I rarely focus on what is good for me, I spend my days figuring out what is good for my subs and the customers we service.

Are you on the original UB program or are you on the income access program for UB?
I'm fairly new to this, I have a lot of great ideas. I made $1500 in February and I haven't been motivated as much as after I found this site and all you great guys. Some of the profits were because of BoDogs f-up but a check for $857 from them USD was kinda nice....gonna pour it back into marketing material. If anyone wants to chat...I'm on-line a fair amount of the time. Cheers...
