Bite Me – Affiliate Bitch Takes No Prisoners

Whlist at the affiliate pub gathering yesterday a fellow peer pointed out a new blog to me called Affiliate Bitch

Affiliate Bitch is a no holds barred approach to blogging & posting anonymously. dedicated to telling it “how it is?” in affiliate marketing.

“Affiliate Bitch is fed up of people moaning about anyone and everyone involved in affiliate marketing. Affiliates moan about merchants, merchants moan about networks. Well, tough! You chose the job you do, so do it, and deal with the c***, moaning about it won’t make it better. The deed has already been done.”

Affiliate Bitch is a place to ask a question and get an honest truthful answer without the sycophant tendancies or exaggeration. Affiliate Bitch takes no prisoners, so it’s not going to be a good news bible or politically correct censored posts.

How will it be received? This will depend on it’s readership & author contributions. Will some quarters deem it as unprofessional or simply an echo of how it is in the industry in private conversations at any affiliate gathering (which is sometimes veiled on other forums ) or simply a bit of fun … You decide … Most blogs don’t have rose tinted glass opinions but do hold back in various degrees of discretion / circumspection some of what they would really like to say, I guess this is potentially going that extra yard in the ouch factor.

If you’d want to become a bitch then you simply email them, and your anomnimity shall be retained. They’ll monitor posts, and anything that’s way too dodgy may be ammended.

It seems to be in the very early stages atm, so check out yourself at Affiliate Bitch.

    Is it your site? ;)!

    Agreed that there is plenty of bitching going on. My observation is that it’s the affiliates that start to be successful that seem to get the most dissatisfied the quickest! Suddenly they start believing that the web revolves around them and seem to forget that without the merchant they don’t have a business. The opposite is rarely true! Or is it?!

    Personally I’d suggest, like most things in life, it requires some flexibility from both parties.

    Cheers.

    lol – no it’s not my creation, there are too few grammatical errors to lay claim to it, but yes flexibility is required.

    I actually own the blog and organise who posts etc, but I don’t actually post.

    There are far too many people that have an opinion but don’t blog, and I’ve made it for them, as well as people that have views but aren’t able to express them because of who they work for.

    Only I know who are the bloggers are and I WILL NOT disclose them.

    I hope you enjoy it, and yes its in the early days. I’ve got some people to blog yet and I’ve got to create a new template.

    Also, forgot to say thanks to Paul for the mention – part of the blog’s inspiration came from Paul’s direct approach to affiliate blogging. So thanks Paul!

    I can’t say I’m a massive fan. Most of the posts seem more to be unintelligent, whinging dribble than eloquent and persuasive debate. It’s a shame because I am a great fan of rants, and Lee McCoy’s blog is one of my favourite blogs. Still, I’ll keep reading.
