OT Cash and JB Video

[cots]

Not sure what all the fuss is about! Many sponsors have become less and less reliant on their affiliate programs over the past few years. Since the TGP crash along with everything else in 2008/9 affiliates have become far less productive and time can be better spent!
I communicate with OT regularly and have a member pass to grab content. This is the new way of the affiliate world. Sponsors will work with affiliates that produce!
As a sponsor I have seen a massive drop off in affiliate sales. We realistically only have about 20 affiliates that produce - down from 200 a few years ago. We still put out new affiliate material but in reality that is at the expense of not doing something else.
As for Lady Sonia I do not know the whole story but many of their problems, like others, were caused by changes of law in the UK. Many panicked and just closed up shop. Those that stayed around saw reduced sales because of the legal limitations. Others moved their operations to get around the laws (and taxes) often using a partner outside the UK like Kenny.

I think Lady Sonia's problems began when buddy that owns it decided that the new way of marketing was to give away everything for free and those of us who didn't were behind the curve. I think he was listening to JT. He was floundering badly and his wife went back into "customer relations" and every video he ever made seemed to be free on any number of tube sites and everywhere else. I think some kind of panic got him. If OT is still going strong, good on them. I have always liked their business model.
