A Commission Junction Surprise

Over the last couple of months, I kind of slacked off a bit on monitoring some of my less lucrative affiliate programs. Commission Junction had dropped off to under $100 per month and since I get paid from them each month, I didn't want to spend my "dial up" time waiting on the pages to load.

Well, since I'm having my Today Size Does Matter Party - I thought I'd take the time to check out some of the slower loading sites. Commission Junction was one of them.

WOW was I surprised when I logged on and saw that my current unpaid balance is $221.00.

I can't tell you how much some of these smaller payments help out through the month and when you find one that pays like clockwork and one that you don't have to constantly monitor for payment, it's so worth it.

I can't recommend Commission Junction enough! Especially since the product that has proven to me that SIZE DOES MATTER was listed and I'm now an affiliate for yet another product that I absolutely LOVE!

Site Build It or Site Scam It?

I've seen Site Build It around the net quite a bit and frankly never gave it a second glance. However, I've come across a couple of people - one who has taken advantage of what Site Build It has to offer while the other is doing a bit of homework before investing $299 in their services.

Maybe I'm too much of a tightwad and a control freak - but frankly, I'm not going to pay someone $299 to build a site that's going to be trapped in their hosting plan for the life of the site. Furthermore, I'm not going to continue paying $299 per year for hosting of that site when there are other valuable and reliable hosts out there like Bluehost that offers a very easy blog setup option for under $100 per year. I've personally used Bluehost for three years and absolutely adore them!

IF I were a dishonest person out purely to make money by scamming people for services that are offered cheaper or even free on the net, I'd probably develop a business just like Site Build It!

Yes, I'm being very judgmental as far as Site Build It is concerned - but to be fair, I'm going to open the door here for someone who actually LIKES their services. That doesn't include the owners or affiliates trying to make back a portion of their $299 investment, but genuine fans who'd use the service even if there wasn't a way to make money with them - I'd love to hear your arguments in defense of this organization.

Until I hear enough to change my mind, I'm going to strongly encourage anyone looking at their services to avoid them at all cost. I KNOW you can develop your own successful business online and at a much lesser expense - because I've done it!
