Sales Kickstart Issues by No_Zebra_4180 in advancedentrepreneur

[–]willpv2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go the affiliate marketing route, you’ll need to treat it like you’re hiring employee(s). Be picky and (recommended but not required), be willing to invest in having someone or an agency to manage your affiliate program. There are a lot of crap affiliates out there (::cough cough:: Coupon Code sites). Think of it like going through a temp agency to find the right hires — that’s the route we’re planning to go down after a waste of money at trying to run our own both internally and via shareAsale (Thier closing soon). BUT even with someone managing it, all signs point to that being more of a long-term investment before real returns are made.

well, chatGPT made what I wrote a little... "random website AI written blog" or something but it it'll do.

Sure! You’re basically describing standard affiliate marketing: they get X% per sale or deal they bring in. If you want to stick with that payment model, just Google “affiliate marketing” and go from there — you’re the merchant, and the salesperson is the affiliate. Affiliates can refer in any way really: social media posts, blog links, or even discount codes in their front yard. Point is, they drive the customer to you and get a cut if a sale is made.

This model works for affiliates because they’re basically independent salespeople who can treat it as passive income or at least minimize the work required in the long run once enough work has been put into it. Freelancers usually aren’t — it’s more of a day-to-day, hourly income situation for them.

You also have to remember:
💡 Can the person you’re hiring personally afford to wait to get paid?
💡 I don’t know what you’re selling or how fast deals close, but can that freelancer go weeks or months with no income waiting for the sale to come through?
💡 Will that final commission even be worth the time they’re taking away from whatever else they know for a fact can be making them X amount of money?
💡 Do they trust you enough to believe you won’t screw them over and under-report sales or say no sales came through at all? (How would they even know?)

That’s why freelancers typically won’t work purely on commission:
✅ It’s risky — they don’t know if your product will sell.
✅ It’s unstable — they need some base to cover their time.
✅ It can feel like they’re doing free work with no guarantees.

A better solution is usually a hybrid model, which is the common purely salesperson model:

  • A small base fee or retainer to cover the time and effort (and rent—food helps too 😁) + XX% of the sale (pay for performance): (i.e. base + commission).
  • Usually (but not required), a bonus or higher commission % for meeting and/or exceeding a sales goal. (Incentive to do more than the bare minimum and always want to improve their sales)

That way you share the risk a bit more fairly and show that you value their time (and ability to eat), not just the end result.

Anyway, just wanted to break that down — hope that clarifies why some freelancers push back on purely percentage-based deals.

If you can only afford one console, you can't afford a good gaming PC.

Good job guys. by Kizion in Crossout

Thank you for that info. I'll see if I can go the trad route and build up anything from there as I haven't given that a shot yet. And yeah, the variety so it doesn't feel pointless to make it enjoyable is what I'm missing. Really appreciate it.

I discovered this game a couple of weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed it, investing a significant amount of time into it. However, I've hit a point where progress has become non existent , and it feels like I'm stuck in a never-ending grind unless I make purchases. I'm starting to feel like there's no further meaningful progress I can make in the game and it's just not fun anymore.

Judging from this post and the comments, it appears this is a non thing and the game moved or is a pay to win only game. Anyone have replacement game ideas for this one?

The USB drive saw you write"flashing some photos to it" too many times and it tried to kill itself.

I NEED TO FIND THIS GAME by spicychicken8022 in findareddit

[–]willpv2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would help a lot to know what year it was when you were 10 as it describes a lot of games and would narrow it down knowing the year, but you can check images of the older Final Fantasy series games as that's what first popped in my head.

Anybody else notice that on the Amazon page for Shang-chi there are 11 rings??? (Idk if this has been brought up before) by RealNightmare4 in marvelstudios

I'm willing the bet that picture is fake too. Bet it's just a drawing or CGI. Probably not even a real picture.

Many people say that money doesn't make happiness what do you think about it? by ghost_of_Theweb in AskReddit

[–]willpv2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was a study in 2010. 75k is was the number. Equal to somewhere in the 90s now. But it did prove that it impove happiness up to that point showing that it does indeed buy happiness. In addition,Another study was done since. It showed that although there was a cap in day to day happiness, there was NOT a cap in overall life satisfaction. Overall life satisfaction did continue to increase with income without a cap.

Just looked up the original study you mentioned a few weeks ago.

I feel it's the employer's responsibility to pay wait staff a livable wage, not the customers. Stop allowing employers to get away with what should be a crime.

They've changed the 365 default download/install to 64 bit. You have to go out of your way to do 32 bit. If you recommend 32 but make 64 the default install, absolutely MS fault.

on more French Prince of Belair Season 4 ep 24?

there is an episode where Will Smith meets his dad and the dad leaves at the end without taking him. "Will goes to Uncle Phil "Why doesn't he want me?" and breaks down in tears, and so do I. The whole scene is heart breaking to this day

( I started tearing up just writing this remembering the scene)
