All Affiliates must boycott Greedy Amazon

[Branson_00]

Hello there,

This greedy money giant "Amazon" must be boycotted. It keeps minimizing the ads fees to the lowest.

A week ago or so the game download fees were 10%, now they are 2%.

I used to earn gold with selling gift cards, now they make 0%.

If you don't find an alternative soon, Amazon will EAT you.

Probably better suited to the affiliate marketing section

@OP : Totally agree, looks like as they became the standard shopping websites, they are ditching affiliates. Like, we dont need any of you any more, everyone will come and buy from us anyway

Too bad, just like google, you cant do anything about it

 

[Billy Batts]

Yeah I've been telling this to several people the past months, fuck Amazon!

Too bad, as ur traffic will buy from it with or without your link

 

[Stiletto]

Doubt anyone can do anything against them, they're too big so they dictate the rules

 

[Jure321]

Well, it sucks, yes. But it's easiest place to start with, don't you think?

Do you really think boycotting amazon will have any effect whatsoever?

I'm no expert on this but I'll bet that affiliate sales make up a tiny percentage of their revenue. Why do you think they don't care enough to offer a decent %

Problem is where is the alternative with the same reputation? Promoting amazon products is easy because people trust them.

Couldn't care less, it's all about principles for me.

 

[DJ.Bud]

Boycotted them when they changed the commission structure

 

[KHer0]

I respect that, for other 99% affiliates out there, they care about money. So, you will be alone.. my advice, is milk them as much as you can.

You've learned that income streams dry up. It sucks and that's why you need to diversify.

I'm very much tensed about AMZ affiliate ... they reduce the commission tire already last year ...... they are crazy day by day!!

If only 1% of the planet stick to principles we would still be with 60 million so not alone.

As for the caring about money? Are you kidding me? I'm Dutch! I'm all about the money!

But 2-6% commission... why would I do the work for a multibillion dollar company invest my valuable time while I can get 40-75% somewhere else?

I upvote this, but the only way to do this is to open a large alternative to amazon, something easy btw members of BHW. Who are the ones who knows how to make a web and put it in from of users.


If anytime from now someone starts an alternative count me in r, we could use Amazon FBA and sell world wide while draining their sales.

 

[Crewchief007]

Boycotting is not the answer.

Amazon is proving what ALL monopolies eventually prove; they own the gold and they make the rules to suit their benefit, NOT YOURS!

This is why you MUST diversify and be ready to make in-flight adjustments at the drop of a dime.

Where are you getting 40-75% commissions on physical products?

Dont fool urself, we use amazon because they convert. People trust it and buy from it blindly.

Its exactly like google, we aren't trying rank in google cuz we want to, but because we have to.

Tell me which offers will convert amazon traffic for 60% commission
