As an affiliate I hate.....

[K]

Simply put one line about what you hate as an affiliate marketer.

I hate it when my best efforts don't pay off when I really thought I would do great.

Also, I'm not fond of coming up against technical stuff I don't understand, despite trying to - i.e. some elements of tracking. However, that is part of the challenge that is going to feel great when I conquer it.

Misinformation that wastes my efforts and money!

Lazy people

Plugins that don't work properly (free and paid) or are missing necessary features (when discovered only after installing and wasting time setting up)

I hate the hate directed toward affiliate marketers by big companies like facebook, google and others. They really make our life harder

I hate mud slinging. I have been in sales my entire life and in fact have two degrees in marketing and sales. I have never seen so much mud slinging in my life. I believe all good and honest businesses will rise to power soon. The age of deceit is quickly coming to a close (on a personal note)

OMG is is so much the truth that is explodes with truthfulness (if such a thing exists) The same thing happened at Performa and it sucked because it allowed so many tools into this industry that made it harder on everyone to a point.......

Blegh.....

Let's start with.. Advertisers and network partners who do not support S2S (Postback) conversion tracking. This is the internet......... catch up!

As a marketer I hate the fact that big companies start hating affiliates as they grow bigger. ( google, facebook)

....waiting for my commissions! Commissions should be instant for the tenured and consistent affiliates.

 

[multimastery]

Shady/scam advertisers and networks that do not pay or that do lead shaving to raise their profits!

 

[Andy Haskins]

The reputation the industry/name has for being being shady when there are plenty of honest marketers out there.
