AffiliateEv

[college_boy]

A couple of general questions: What is a fair timetable in terms of setting up a successful affiliate business through affiliateEv. Also how much would you estimate the startup costs to be?

[rt1]

We get these questions a lot.

Time – like anything, the more time you put into this the better it will be. You can easily work 8 to 10 hours a day being an affiliate, trust me. I would say, if you set aside a few hours a day, 2 to 3, you can start to understand the ropes and build a pretty good player base.

The first things that take a lot of time are building a player base, getting a website setup, designing marketing materials / ad campaigns. I could go on for ever, but I won’t bore you.

Costs – Overhead is relatively cheap for startup, but like any business you will need to invest money back into it. At first you might be able to run the business yourself, but later on you will need to hire staff, lawyers, accountants, and put money back into promotional material / ads. The more money you have to start up the better. You could do this with about $2,000, but it certainly wouldn’t hurt to have $200,000.

After proofing this post I realize it is a little vague. I’m sorry. If you have any more specific questions please post them and I can go a little deeper with the answers.

Thanks!

Well, they seem secure enough to buy a forum on 2+2, and although some of the people involved might be a little arrogant /images/graemlins/wink.gif (no pot and kettle comments please, I already know), I've never heard of any of them not paying anyone.

How much of a cut does affiliateEV get? What percentage do the biggest affiliates get for party skins? How can I get the largest percentage possible?

We are never going to say how much of a cut we get, that is private information... please dont ask. There is no 'set' % for a 'big' affiliate. You need to talk to your affiliate manager and the two of you can come up with a % that works.

I set up an account with these guys back in April or so? (guys do you have records? I dont remember) Although I dont do all my affiliate business through them, I have built up a business that rivals what most people make in a full time job.

Of course a lot of that has to with with:

A) Having a trusted name on the forums
B) Being a good affiliate
C) Being a marketing genius and overall man stud

I feel these guys (affiliateEV) have a ton to offer to entrepreneurs who are willing to put in the time to become successful in this industry.

I've heard it is possible to open several accounts at Empire. Is it possible to have all of those accounts linked to my own affiliateEV account to combine the rake with the people I refer?

That is the whole point of affiliateEV. Get all of your friends playing at Empire and we pay you for the rake they generate.

Can I have several of my own Empire accounts linked to my affiliateev account?

How are players searching for rakeback supposed to know what is and isn't against the rules? AffiliateEV has said that closing an account and opening a new one is ok to do if you're working with an affiliate. Why is this the case? Why isn't it ok if you're not working with an affiliate? I've also heard that some players are able to create multiple Empire accounts. Even though this is said to be against the rules I'm guessing it's okay if you work with an affiliate. I'm getting the impression that affiliates can basically write their own rules.

Affiliates fighting with each other in a lucrative business that has all sorts of room to budge is the reason why the rakeback percentage continues to go up. Being able to discuss specific percentages on a forum wouldn't be a problem if there wasn't huge profit being made.

I'm just now starting to look at the whole rakeback issue again. A few years ago I had made some decent money by becoming an affiliate and getting 20% of the rake and probably would have continued if all of my higher volume players hadn't left for an affiliate who was able to give them a higher percentage.

I'm basically just trying to gain information on something I've become out of the loop about. I don't want to have a situation where I would work to get players and then have another affiliate be able to completely push me out of the market because the percentages I can offer are not nearly enough.

Do all the higher volume players just go through a cycle of closing and reopening accounts to keep getting higher rakeback? If you don't have the highest percentage you're missing out on a whole lot of money.


How does asking these questions make me a douchebag?

Be nice, no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid people.

Asking questions is one thing, asking questions about defrauding a company is another.

Only affiliates are allowed to defraud the company? How is a player supposed to know the rules when everything that is said to be illegal is okay to do if an affiliate gets a cut of your money and is involved?
