The annoying bit of affiliate marketing experience
This is not a show stopper, but an annoying bit of being an affiliate marketer.
Do you have experience like this:
- Receive email notification about a sale is made
- after a month, no commission was received, contact the product owner
- Replied: the customer mentioned other person as his referrer during the product registration, so I'm paying him the full (commission) amount. Thanks for your understanding.
I asked for further explanation
" If you have a page on your website that the general public can search out, as opposed to an educator who is referring based on one of the following (Seminar/Meeting, Word-of-mouth, Newsletter, etc.) then that will always trump the impersonal web-page excerpt – as long as they list that referrer in the Registration."
This happened to me 3 times. And to be honest, nothing I can do about it.
Do you have similar experience?

No, never - you should check their terms and conditions carefully, and consider a product supplier who doesn't treat their affiliates this way
I'm now on the hunt for alternatives to replace this product. Feeling stupid being treated like this.
I wouldn't say I was feeling stupid, more like angry would be a better description! More like "Fool me once--shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me!🙄
If you feel like sharing the details, perhaps the community here can help you find alternatives?

No offense from the image! I sometimes have to use that in certain interactions! That is really a raw deal that you got there in those instances!
