I aim to be in that 5% - 10%
Right now you'll see me pushing very very few sales, if any. But I have a lot to focus on... launching 5 sites over the next 9 months is no easy task when you design, develop, and market everything yourself. However it's a lot of fun for me. Each individual site is like a personal development playground for me. My review site was first, next is a new twist on a TGP site, lots more in the works.
At the end of each development cycle I buy a moderate amount of traffic to throw at the site in a short amount of time to test scalability and conversion rates from different traffic sources. Once all 6 sites are up (they're all under one brand) I'll buckle down and focus on marketing, traffic, and brand development. Additionally, I take a break midway through a development cycle to reanalyze my SEO and make adjustments as needed.
The first site is already paying for the dedicated box so it's a break even for me
I see a few sales here and there but that's no my focus... I guess what I'm saying here is who knows what affiliate out of those other 90% - 95% will soon be pushing you a ton of leads. Treat'em all with respect, it's just generally better for your own business that way anyway
From personal experience... out of the 200 sponsors I've signed up with so far, Twistys has treated me the best.
