Trials and Tribulations: Adult Friend Finder.

The first time I heard about Adult Friend Finder I remember discarding it as a real money-maker almost immediately. The idea just seemed kind of silly to me. I had read a bit about them and knew that they were at least creating a big buzz for themselves, if nothing else...

A few months had passed when I came across an article on Digg, the title read something like: Now debt free, thanks to Adult Friend Finder!

Being that I have acquired my own fair share of debt throughout the years, I was prompted to read this article claiming that one could climb his way out of debt by promoting Adult Friend Finder. To make a long story short, I read the article and it inspired me to go and join the Adult Friend Finder affiliate program. After I joined the program, I didn't really have a medium to test it out on. All I had was a half-ass porn site that I managed to put together in my spare time. I put up a link and rotated a few banners, and after about two months all I had earned was $86.00.

That kind of discouraged me at the time... Two months, and all I had earned was a measly $86.00!! At that rate, how in the hell was I supposed to get out of debt?

Looking back on that experience I was able to analyze the situation and pinpoint a couple of reasons for my pitiful earnings. At the time, I was fairly new to conducting business on the web... and just like many people who flock to the net seeking income, I too was under the impression that: If you build it, they will come.

I was obviously dead wrong.


Even though I had an adult oriented website, my content was stale and I did nothing to promote the site. So, I guess I can actually say that I was very lucky to have earned those $86.00 from doing nothing. When I put everything into perspective, and took the time out to review this past experience of mine, a new hunger began to rumble in my stomach.

I think about it like this, if I made $86.00 in two months with a stale website and no promotion, how much could I possibly make if I were to actually do it right?

So here I go again, I have begun to promote the Adult Friend Finder affiliate program once again. Knowing everything that I know now about the web and conducting business on it, I am going to make a final attempt at earning some serious money with Adult Friend Finder.

I'll keep you guys posted as I make this final run with the Adult Friend Finder Program. If you have any stories of your own about the almighty Friend Finder, please do post them or email them to me, I'd love to read about your experiences!

I've made over $600 from AFF, not a mammoth amount but still useful. For me it seems to go in cycles, I jog along not doing much then all of a sudden things pick up. Probably depends on the time of year.
Good luck,
Mike.

I hope I can achieve the levels of success that you've had with the AFF program...
Thanks for visiting my blog and posting your feedback Mike. I actually came across your blog a couple of weeks ago on google (you've got a pretty nice page ranking!) and have been a fan ever since! You have some great material on your blog, I'm sure I'll be reading and getting ideas from it for years to come...

Again, thanks for your comments Mike, I truly appreciate them.
