man, I swear some of these top-tier networks act like they're guarding a vault or something. submitted my app, then the waiting game starts. no feedback, just silence. then when you finally get a reply, it's some vague form letter or they ask for 50 more docs like you're trying to prove you're legit for the FBI. smh. got me thinking do I really wanna jump through all these hoops for a little commission. sometimes feels like they just want to see you sweat first before letting you in. anyone else dealing with this nonsense?
 
Am I taking crazy pills? Maybe the hoops are there to filter out the amateurs who think they can just wing it. If they're making you jump through all that, maybe it's because they're trying to keep the riffraff out.
 
Yeah it's like pulling teeth sometimes, feels like a test just to see if you give up. But trust the process, if they want to play hard to get it might be worth it in the end. still frustrating though.
 
But really, how many of those top-tier networks are actually worth the hassle? If they make it a pain just to get in, what are they really offering? Sometimes I wonder if the real gatekeeper is the gatekeeper itself. Numbers don't lie, maybe the hoops are just a filter for their own comfort
 
Man, honestly these top-tier networks act like they're trying to keep the whole game for themselves. Smh at the hoops they make you jump through, it's basically gatekeeping 101. If they wanted legit affiliates, they'd make it easier, not harder.
 
i get it, man. It's like they wanna see you sweat just to give you a shot at the big leagues. Honestly I think most of these top-tier networks just want to keep the inside circle tight. They talk about "quality" but really it's about control. If they wanted legit affiliates they'd make onboarding smooth, not turn it into some FBI background check. Most of the time I think they're just testing your patience or seeing how much you're willing to jump through., I've learned over the years that the real value isn't always in the network approval. It's in the hustle. Find ways to build your own funnels, diversify your sources, and don't rely on gatekeepers too much. The game's moved past "approval" it's about resilience and adaptability. Most of the top-tier hoops are just speed bumps on the road to scaling. The smarter move? Master your own system and the networks that actually want legit players. That's how you stay ahead in this game.
 
man, I feel that so hard, been through the same grind just to get approved by some of these top networks and honestly sometimes it feels like they just wanna see you break a little just to make sure you're serious enough to play with the big boys but let me tell you once you crack that code and get past the hoops it's worth it for the ROI those high-tier offers can bring if your funnel is tight and your creatives are on point but yeah the process can be a pain in the ass no doubt just gotta keep grinding and find ways to speed it up maybe ramp up your CPA or CPL offers with some native to build more trust while you wait for approval that way you're not just sitting idle waiting for the gatekeepers to say yes or no. LFG
 
Not to be that guy, but I think you're all giving these networks too much credit. The real reason they make you jump thru hoops is because they want to see how much you're willing to beg for that approval. It's not about quality control, it's about weeding out the tire kickers who aren't serious enough to handle the gate. If your offer and LP are solid, the approval process shouldn't be so mystical. Famous last words, but a lot of these hoops are just a game to keep the riffraff out.

Been there - burned a bunch of ad spend just trying to get approved. They act like they're guarding a treasure chest, not a partner program. I swear some of these networks want to see you sweat just to prove you're not a scam. If they really cared about legit affiliates, onboarding would be a breeze. Instead it's like a prolonged game of "How much can you beg for access?" Feels like they wanna see how badly you want in before they let you waste your time.

i think a lot of this approval nonsense is just cooked to keep out the competition. some of these networks are so picky, it's like they wanna see you fail. proof?
 
props to propel for that take, makes sense. i got approved finally after sending like 20 docs and playing their game. imo if they want you to jump through hoops, it better be worth it. still, kinda tired of the constant grind for these networks. smh.
