I can't wait to launch Catie Minx to see if your pessimism is proved to be right or wrong.
you do seem kind of excited that things have gone to shit - weird

Sorry 300, i couldn't remember how many i had, i just remember how much more you had in percent. My main point was not the numbers but the decrease
300 for program launched in 2009 - 175 for a program launched in early 2011. Atleast i was able to make up for the huge decrease that time takes on the solo niche with self promotion (i have alot of affiliate traffic), which is something a part time webmaster wont be able to do. And no, her fanbase on mfc, etc - doesn't make up for it, for the members she gets off of MFC, there will be people who see her riding a sybian with 2 girlfriends who choose to watch that for free instead of stay rebilling.
I do not believe beign a regular on MFC is a huge boost for solo sites.
regarding your affiliate numbers, they are as good as they are because you had 3000 emails, which ended up giving you 300+ affiliates. How many do you think a new program launched late 2012 will give you without an older database? Not nearly as many. and definitely less than 175
so theres no chance she could get near the numbers of an established program thats been around for a while, then with the costs coming out of her pocket. nope, wont work
