Topic: Another Reason to Replace MyLife

Another Reason to Replace MyLife with a more affiliate-friendly (and more profitable!) income stream.  Email just received:

Dear Affiliate,

Due to recent changes in the marketplace, MyLife is shifting away from affiliate marketing. With that being said, we are discontinuing our Affiliate Program.  All accounts and links will be deactivated as of Tuesday, April 13th. Please make the appropriate changes on your end.

Thank you for being a valued partner for MyLife.

Best Regards,
MyLife.com

Re: Another Reason to Replace MyLife

Bad news...

BTW, Tissa there is another post relating to this message here. Maybe, you may want to close one and keep the other open.

There's one more here.

Re: Another Reason to Replace MyLife

Amazing! Just when I finally was able to get it through CJ!

Are they canceling through CJ as well?

Re: Another Reason to Replace MyLife

Hey Tissa and all APS affiliate members reading this,

I see we're onto this quicker than they think they can stoop their longtime affiliate members.
Make sure you have solid copies of your cheques that have arrived to compare to your earnings balance...
Add them together and subtract from your Total earnings balance, since they already removed last years quick stats.

Vivian at My Life debated with me in 4 support responses that all unpaid balances had been paid, but i clearly stated that they take the $178 paid in cheques away from the earnings and not the unpaid balance, as most of us would know the unpaid balance area was never updated anyway...

So im gonna pull, that link from my customized people search engine, better sooner than later.

I also note: nowhere in this announcement did Vivian mention all unpaid balances would be paid to affiliates, but i already have confirmation my unpaid balance of around $130 is on its way as we speak...

Cheers, wink

From Alfred Penny smile

P.S I have a knarly feeling they might have struck some deal with social netwroking sites exclusively neutral
Hence their warning on using Facebook or MySpace directly, so many changes its a wonder they even know what to announce next.. and in a lot of ways with their disruptive attitude i can almost say good riddance to My Life mad

As it goes, "Kelly Clarkson" clearly states in her music Tissa, "My Life, would suck -  without You" big_smile

Re: Another Reason to Replace MyLife

Good riddance!  I won't even tell people how long I've been waiting for a check from MyLife.

I'm excited.  The replacement income stream will benefit our visitors by providing them with instant access to the search results, it will benefit us by paying more (I believe this will depend on home country) and now we'll always have a new offer (i.e. contingency plan) in place if a change needs to be quickly made.

Re: Another Reason to Replace MyLife

Hi Tissa,

try this as an alternative to Mylife

www.peoplesearchaffiliates.com


they have 3 People Search Products

PhoneDetective.com is already in ACME

take a look at Archives.com &  EmailFinder.com

Veda Samskrthi - Preservation and Propagation of Vedic Culture
Indian Ads - Free Classified Advertising Service for Indians
1 Link Service - Free Link Rotator, Short URL, Link Exchange & Directory

Re: Another Reason to Replace MyLife

I hadn't focused on getting business to my SE until recently so  My Life cut me off months ago, I suppose as an inactive affiliate. Just got back in with CJ and after all that they do this. Oh well, at least I don't have to worry about them not paying me any outstanding commissions due. Good Luck to everybody that they do owe, I hope you all get paid. I need to get their banners off my blog now.

I'd suggest either ringing their number and going through to speak with admin first and them emailing vivian@mylife.com, plus why not give them a call, if you can even get through amongst all their disgruntled affiliate members yikes

They are in Los Angeles, California, so they're two or three hours behind easter states of america..
and phone support will be closed very soon for the weekend if it isn't already....

Thankyou Tissa  big_smile for your hard efforts to try and make My Life work for everyone, they seems to prefer tripping us over rather than just stumbling us continuously! Seems My Life don't even want to explain with any decent reasoning....

Chris, now it's Super Dooper Good Riddance, i swiped the My Life "Who's searching for You" from my customized search engine landing page...It seems their affilaites will start searching for them instead... to explain and pay earnt income that was never sent by check / cheque.

Hope this helps you recover unpaid, unsent checks Chris and everyone...

Compare your banked & cleared checks that arrived (total) and subtract them from Total Earnings figure your unpaid balance

Re: Another Reason to Replace MyLife

Hey Tissa or Gary,

Will the replacement be seamlessly integrated into the unlocking process?  That would be great if users didn't think they were leaving the site.   We'll take crazy conversions to a new height if this is possible.

-Chris

Yes

Re: Another Reason to Replace MyLife

Welcome to forum, Nagaraj.  It was discussed in today's webinar.

I never got that message for some reason.  Looking forward to its replacement though smile

Hey Tissa and Gary,

Email finder is working fine for me with the older link, it would just redirect before yesterdays update, now its an "oops message" and probably accidentally linked to Phone Detective instead, this is what i am using gary and it still navigates to Email Finder correctly http://ec2-174-129-221-125.compute-1.am … _act=begin which then redirects to http://www.emailfinder.com/efc.aspx?_ac … &ucb=1


I removed my CB usernames so as not to capitalize or post affiliate referral links inside topics....
copy and paste will help you, replace **CB-Username substitutions ,etc** with a valid CB username if it doesn't load above

Hope this is of some assistance, thankyou smile

Re: Another Reason to Replace MyLife

All I can say is WOW! I just paused all my campaigns.

Hopefully I get the balance that is owed to me.

Looking forward to the alternative.

Thanks for posting this Tissa.

Yes

Re: Another Reason to Replace MyLife

Wrote an e-mail to Vivian in regard to the unpaid balance that was owed me. I haven't heard from her yet and probably won't until sometime Monday. I need to know how to disable the MyLife site so I can go ahead and skip this site when I am checking my results.

Re: Another Reason to Replace MyLife

I have a track record of my earning from MyLife, and can account for every penny! 

Alfred Penny (Is this the infamous ALF?)  pinpointed the hard to find numbers on MyLife:

I've posted elsewhere my experience with MyLife.  The bottom line is that if you call and follow up by email, you'll get your problem solved, a.k.a.; you'll get your money.

It's totally ridiculous if anyone lets them keep the money they've earned!  And, if they keep yours, then APS looks weak and they find our membership a weak target. 

Please get your money... while the "getting" is still there.

Re: Another Reason to Replace MyLife

I see

Now that my life is no longer integrated in APS, its time to update our blogs and articles big_smile

anyways I hope the Search engine gets integrated with another CPA affiliate program, to even out the cost for those PPC users.

Re: Another Reason to Replace MyLife

I guess, like Tissa's offer of afterlife subscriptions, we can now have an 'after-My-Life' subscription / affiliate program. lol

G'day Rick,

Yes it is me, the infamous "Alf" if your referring to my presence at webinars, the Forums, etc. big_smile

BTW: I'm honestly from planet Earth thankfully, hence I am not the 80's sitcom alien who was from Melmack... lol
(surely you've seen this comedy program in the USA, they run repeats on our digital channels, Free to air TV for Australians)

I've been with APS for 13 months and will be for Life (assuming i don't breach the rules which i follow always anyway) smile

Great to know you've accounted for every penny now mate, this is including me, pmsl....
Alf is my shortened nickname i prefer, (Alfred is quite distinguished and older fashion), an english heritage based name.

And, as Somesh has written above, now we can all enjoy the newer "After My-Life Affiliate Program"next week! smile

Thanks,

Alf. Penny in Australia big_smile

Re: Another Reason to Replace MyLife

It is frustrated to learn this, as I just started to put much effort and earn money from MyLife:( Hopefully Tissa can replace another better income stream for us..disappointed with MyLif decision..

Re: Another Reason to Replace MyLife

So after two weeks of dialog with Vivian about my past due
commissions (a years worth) I got my update.
I think "LowLife" is more apropos.
big_smile


UPDATE 3.52PM PST: I gotta apologize publicly for this comment.
I received my check today from MyLife, paid in full and calculated correctly.
There is still some honor online.
Thanks MyLife !
cool

Re: Another Reason to Replace MyLife

I got in touch with Vivian at MyLife aka Reunion. She assured me that she would get in touch with accounting and get the past due commissions and the commission on what balance made in April sent in the May mailings. So if you are expecting the check this month you will have to wait till the middle of May to cash it or deposit it.

Oh, well. We have to wait for everything.

Yes

Re: Another Reason to Replace MyLife

I just talked to Vivian too. She assured me that all commissions will be paid out.

That is GOOD NEWS!!!

Yes
