Changing the Rules
Who has been in this situation? Everything is running smoothly then.......the rug comes out from under you. What happened? Why wasn't I informed? No one told me??? Something changes and you weren't told before hand!
Ever been to work to find out that there will be a new boss? An unexpected meeting that took up more time than you would have liked and now you have to do overtime to catch up? Perhaps you go to log in to your favorite website and find it is offline? Perhaps you expected to be paid from your employer only to find there will a delay in payments? Maybe you find out that you will not be paid at all......
Life will do this to you. Should you let it go? Should you speak up and complain? Surely someone will listen! What happens when you bring the issue up and it is ignored or dismissed? Maybe we all want to hiss like the cat in the above picture, to the unexpected, and to companies that we think do us wrong.
The point to this being how many complaints does a company need to get a hint that the direction they are heading isn't working. Why should we "Let It Go?" There are more of us than them. It may also be called Unionism. When should companies that think they are so big think they can change the rules without being accountable to those changes? Has anyone heard of disclaimers? Shouldn't users of products be told first before a change happens? It's called emails, bulletins, personal messaging, skyping etc.
If you sell a product as an affiliate, you expect to get paid its as simple as that! For EVERY product. Who would have thought that a company can turn around and say, "it was a sale and we don't pay commissions on sales." No mention of that to the person who bought or sold. A closed board room does not count. It needs to be publicly known. You cannot change the rules to suit your needs at the time. My business is bringing in referrals, my referral pays for a service/ upgrade I get paid.
If the role were reversed and myself, as a traffic exchange owner, does not try to pay an affiliate then, wow, the backlash would be horrific. I pay on ALL my "sales", even the ones on SALE, plus some are heavily discounted and are called one time offers OTOs.
Final thoughts: If everyone morally DID THE RIGHT THING all our community in the traffic exchange and advertising/affiliate business would be booming. There are only a few in this community that make me want to hiss!

Welcome to your new home CTP badge!
Once upon a time there was a shy lady who didn't want to show her real picture. However, she was using a really cute picture she made for MSN messenger, remember that?
Not knowing any better she continued to use this avatar online for about a year and then found a professional picture of herself to use instead. Having a real picture of herself is the best thing that she could have done for her branding. Someone hiding behind a cartoon will not be as trusted as someone with a real picture. Even worse, is not having a picture at all!
However, for nostalgia sake and the cuteness factor, and this lady absolutely loves cats, she decided to keep this picture cartoon alive and immortalized in a Click Track Profit badge.
How do you claim this badge?
1) Join Click Track Profit

5) Enjoy your badge!

Reading the Results
Now for the followup to my last blog regarding the ClickTrackProfit Plus1 BadgeHunt.
This time I had to do things a little different. I bought less badges, only 3 and really concentrated my time on them. Alas, I had to think outside the box a bit as one of the weeks I would be taking my son to the Australian National Junior Table Tennis Championships so a daily drive of over an hour each way was going to take a big chunk of my time.
Luckily, I knew this is advance and bought only buy 3 badges. Ok, what did people have to do to receive their badgehunt badges?
For my personal badge I concentrated on this blog. All new subscribers got the link on day 2 or 3. If they were already subscribed they could either join under a program as my referral from a set list or send me CTP XP batteries or tokens. All results are for during the dates of the BadgeHunt. Results are below:
New subscribers: 46
Referrals to programs: 5
Tokens: 30 plus
XP batteries: 30 plus
For people that like to monetize that: It cost me $25 for a badge.
At CTP every 10 tokens costs $1 to buy. Tokens: $3 back
XP batteries cost 10 tokens to buy 1: cost 300 tokens to buy 30 XP batteries. 300 tokens to buy cost: $30
I have made a profit "in theory" without taking into consideration the subscribers and referrals.
The other badges are for my 2 Traffic exchanges I co-own. For both badges people had the option to purchase for the badge for each TE.
MoneymakersXchange is a new TE so we just needed referrals and surfers. The best thing we decided to do was have people surf the site for the badge. Nice and easy to set up also.
New members : 76
Sales: Over $100.
For Rewards4Surfing this is the 2nd time it has been involved in a badgehunt. I rotated the ideas from the last badgehunt depending on how much time I had. So I asked for Facebook likes (I got 14 in one day). The R4S skype room: 2 new members, surfing etc
New members: 70
Sales: Over $200
Also, I can't believe I made it into the Top 75 to win cash PLUS my CTP team won also! That's $10 back so far! 128 badges I personally collected. Out of a possible 181.
In conclusion, another successful ClickTrackProfit badgehunt which will help any program owner with their promotions, affiliate or a blogger like myself. A highly recommended promotion tool!
