I started sending leads for a high-end publisher but my leads weren't so "high end". Ended up getting fired w/o warning. While the merchant handled it w/ little class and gave no indication as to how they wanted the product positioned, I should have been proactive in having that conversation. As it was, I left myself wide open to having leads reversed (which didn't happen) or being axed and sending traffic down a black hole before I realized it (which did happen). Hope that helps a new marketer. Also, make sure your niche has a couple merchants so all your hard work doesn't go in the can if one guy turns out to not be a good partner.

Once you focus on what the lead's needs are, and what it is they want... then you're almost sure to earn more money for the affiliate and in turn yourself. People aren't mindless idiots who just click on ads, or sign up for stuff, or purchase trink-its, etc. Esp. if your niche is MMO. I would assume people who are looking for information on MMO are going to be a little brighter, so offer an ad that is helpful to securing their goals. That's a really good point.

I'm looking 3-6 months down the line instead of 1-2 days. I'm more of a long-term investor than a day trader. I definitely, out of necessity, plan on long-term success with my marketing campaigns.
