Amazon isn't the only one who is changing their affiliate fee payouts

Hi everyone!

I'm very sad to say that Amazon isn't the only one who has changed their affiliate fee payouts. Walmart has just done it also, and guess what? They have the same pay out fees at Amazon does. 1-4 %. They were at 3-8 %. Again over a 50% drop. They offered no notice, and no reason either. They didn't say if this is a temporary drop or if it's a permanent one.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do at this point in time. Seeing as Walmart was the only company who were willing to take on my VERY SMALL business as an affiliate, because I don't get a lot of traffic yet.

Yes I know there are a lot of companies out there that have affiliate programs, the trouble for me is that not many of them carry wood CARVING tools. All the ones who do say the same thing, I don't have enough traffic for them to bother with me. It took me a very long time to find Walmart, and I searched for several months to find them.

I guess this is just fates way of telling me to concentrate on my Bootcamp training and my new website that goes along with that instead. I'll tell you one thing, I'm VERY GREATFUL to at least have the Bootcamp training and my new website to work on right now.

I hope this trying time is kinder to you then it's been to me so far. I hope you don't have the same trouble as me with this fee drop, and I hope you all do well in spite of the corona virus.

Lynne,
