I have a dream of (someday...in the distant future) starting my own network....but from what I have seen 99% of networks die within 3-6 months of opening.
There seems to be several problems that people run into:
1. Lack of start up capital.
2. Becoming 'offer brokers', running through several networks resulting in really low offer payouts...instead of working directly with advertisers. Affiliates then drift towards higher paying networks
3. Advertising their networks in dubious forums that results in bunk traffic, then having payments withheld from advertisers because of dodgy leads.
What makes a successful Network tick?
