7 J+ U) {1 y4 R* oWhy is PeerFly closing? 3 O! x1 t2 H" O! V ; u" ~: {% L: B; O7 vAffiliate marketing is alive and well. However, the particular model that PeerFly was built on no longer represents the most efficient or cost-effective method for generating new sales and leads for advertisers. Over the years, many advancements in online marketing have created new low barriers of entry for businesses who want to control their marketing internally. Platforms like Facebook have dominated the ability to precisely target an audience and have made it incredibly easy to scale. Combined with a great economy, where businesses are okay risking marketing dollars to find the right audience, the model of the “Affiliate Network” is one that doesn’t work nearly as well in 2019 as it did just 5 years earlier.5 L0 w4 _5 s, e! _0 Q+ ~

We’ve made over 50,000 individual payments to affiliates since PeerFly started and we’ll continue to do so until everyone who’s owed is paid. As long as you’ve met the required $50 threshold by Wednesday, July 31st, you will receive payment on the regular net30 schedule./ k# m- I2 _, ^0 m( a. e, S1 f5 g/ O

我个人感觉我应该算是Peerfly 最早的一批affiliates 之一，在大约2009年peerfly 还没有崛起的时候就开始推荐大家加入，一直到现在的2019年，整整十年了，不免有点嘘嘘感叹$ ]4 n, U8 F) ^+ O+ `/ _" G
