Figure I have a 100 sales by 10am, double that by midnight conservatively. I don't even think that's a lot, but I'm sure it's more than several affiliates in this thread doing 10 a day and now 5 day and saying something is up. I do enough volume to know when something is wrong. That's why we're overhauling and simplifying some stuff. I have full confidence I will right my ship. I always do. I wouldnt have thrown my own money back into it to redo thinhs if I didn't have absolute faith in myself, my staff, my content, and my production team. We have some cool stuff coming out.

Also being a Program Owner I agree with you 100%. I have been doing this crazy business for eight years now and my earnings for existing sites has maintained steady levels for 3-4 years. I only increase my revenue when I add new sites and features (new CMS = more rebills, new Tours = more Joins).
No business (except perhaps the NFL) maintains constant, never-ending growth. You really do need enough volume daily to see meaningful patterns. This year, since Jan., my sales have gone up, up, up, down, up, up, down, up, down (Oct being down also). When I compare these figures to 2012 (the last Presidential Election) I see similar numbers but not quite as "bad". But since 2012 we have reached the "tipping point" when it comes to mobile, plus Visa has changed its regulations since then. We've had massive credit card fraud in mainstream (Home Depot etc). ALL these factors should be added in so 2016 is not exactly 2012 - but pretty close.
Again, let's regroup mid-November/early December and see how things are then.
