I was mentionning OpenCandy in a post a few hours ago about some providers to make money from your traffic
Actually I have register just after the blog post, because I know the company by reputation, and from other publishers feedback.
Actually, indeed, I don’t have the VSO-Software huge traffic which was letting me receive a lot of request for sponsor program. I had to decline them most of time because of the company policy and because VSO didn’t need the extra money – yet .
For the moment, I don’t have yet my own new popular software, only a cool context menu Photo Uploader For Facebook software, still in a beta stage ( but stable ) that I need to promote. In the same time, I have other software under development, and I work as a consultant for both software publishers ( and some have a very good traffic and ranking ) and some other software relative company ( download , reviews, paiment provider etc… )
It means, I m far to be a beginner in this industry even if today I don’t have my own product running.
After my appliance for a OpenCandy account, I got a personal email, and a few exchanges have been completed by email… final result, they refused to open an account , as they require 100k download a month. We are back to the “stupid” policy I could have experienced with big companies ( I don’t tell the name but look in the top 5 search engines, or top 5 worldwide download portal ), where the policy of a company doesn’t allow any flexibility.
Too bad, as I m feeling as a slut needing to beg to have access to the account I would be able to recommand to some other publishers… these publishers which have already enough money to not have to consider another sponsor program. really, I m not sure it is the best strategy to adopt. I understand their point of view, but I will keep a quite angry feeling about them, sure.. they said I could read the SDK… fuck…
I will eat real candies.. it will make me feel better :)
