I HOPE THIS THING WORKS BETTER THEN THIS WHEN IT COMES TO BEING PAID

Ahhh Tradeview,

You know it will work if Jon choose it!  Otherwise Jon will be gripping ::)
to MF, and since they go way back MF don't want Jon on his bad side.

No seriously, believe it is a good idea.  I would have liked it to go
another way, but then Jon have to go through the hassle of our tax
stuff.  And, I don't think Jon is the accounting type ;D.

He is way to smart in this stuff to get his head bogged down in paper.

Joyce

PS: You are right about the 'pain in the bu-- >:(, and the signature' (what's
up with that?

I signed up for paypeopleonline for another of Jon's products and had a lot of the same problems as mentioned here. The paypeopleonline site didn't seem to work properly, they didn't answer any of the support emails I sent and still haven't from months ago. But I got paid without any problem even though I couldn't be sure that the registration had even worked.

My experience has been very positive.  I signed up today with no problems.  I had a couple of questions and so submitted a support ticket and received a reply within 5 minutes!  I hope they are as efficient when they pay us.  :)

Funny....a year later to the day and I was having this same problem.  I hate giving MF a dime.  His idea of the second glass of water is to shove the hose down somebody's throat.  Anyway, since it was basically the same issue, I simply changed the math and dropped it in TBS. 

Jonathan have you truly examined the numbers associated with Paypeopleonline.com to see how they impact an affiliate's bottom line?

Is becoming an affiliate really this costly?

Basically affiliates would be paying too much for the functions of furnishing their TAX Info and helping you as a vendor with commission clawbacks?

Looking at the Paypeopleonline.com Fee schedule for Affiliates, here is what it's going to come to for individuals who earn more than 250.01 per month by way of your affiliate programs and by way of Cash4links.

Quote
...not really a quote but didn't want to spin this part.  Here's the math on selling 7 TBS subs assuming there's no cancelations.  This includes the fee to get paid and the other fee to get paid.
((((7 * 7) - (7 * 1)) / 2) + ((((77 * 7) - (7 * 3)) / 2) * .99)) - 4 = 273.41 or roughly 7%

At this point, affiliate's cut up is definitely

That is additionally to having to pay the IRS on typical 23% of their income.

That is also additionally to having to pay their applicable state taxes.

AND, it's additionally to having to pay the Affiliate Costs all Affiliates should spend to Paydotcom.com

Jonathan, you might not understand this, but this indicates, via YOUR affiliate advertising applications and cash4links.com which you run via PAYDOTCOM.com and PAYPEOPLEONLINE.com, affiliates will probably be pressured to spend about 38% to 45% of their earnings based on their state and tax bracket.

Effectively, what I'm asking is, "Can you arrive up with a better solution than Mike Filsaime's Paypeopleonline.com?

P.S. Although, I love TBS and your other products, as a businessman, these percentages don't add up.

No require to respond...

You don't pay a dime to PPO as an affiliate of mine.  I absorb all of the costs.  So it's not costly to be an affiliate, no.

That's a fact, Jon has absorbed all of the cost for all sales of Jon's affiliate
programs and also paid them all when C4L was big.

I have never paid a dime to MF because of promoting Jon's products. Or
for writing for C4L.

This is how it should be because if the truth be told the real sustaining costs are always in the advertising. This is true in mailorder and it's true in Internet sales. Don't ever pay to become someone's affiliate. You'll have plenty of costs down the road.
