Why I avoid networks for high-ticket deals now

tbh just got sick of middlemen taking all my profit. been doing direct deals with advertisers for years now, my last 3 campaigns did 50k+ and i only gave up a flat 30%. tried a network once, they took like 20-30% and the offer was kinda garbage anyway. plus the payment wait is ridiculous. why wait 30 days for a 10k payout when i can skip the network and get paid in 48 hours direct? ymmv but for me it's better results, way less hassle, and i have full control. anyone else drop networks for high-ticket stuff and actually notice a real difference?
 
different angle: yeah I get that but sometimes networks can be useful for faster scaling and access to offers you might not find on your own. do you think you might miss out on certain high-ticket deals or support without the network backup? or do you feel like direct is just way better all around?
 
haha, feeling like a lone wolf? Direct's awesome if you can land good deals and manage everything yourself, but sometimes networks do open doors you didn't know existed. you ever miss a sweet high-ticket offer just because it was network-only
 
bruh, exactly. sometimes u gotta grind harder to find those gems, but it's a pain when they slip away 'cause they're exclusive to a network. ever had that happen to u?
 
haha yeah, that feeling when u see the offer go live on a network but u never got the chance 'cause u didn't know about it or it was exclusive. sucks man, especially when it's a high-ticket deal u could've flipped quick. networks can be sus sometimes but they do unlock doors, no lie.
 
Appreciate the different takes, guys. Yeah, networks can be useful for scaling but I prefer the control and faster payments with direct deals. Missing out on some offers is a risk, but honestly I'd rather chase my own wins. ymmv, but for me, skipping networks just works better.
 
always do direct outreach for high-ticket, networks can dilute the deal and mess with margins, plus you lose control of the quality, ngl.
 
idk, but do u think direct outreach is enough tho? like, what if u cant find the right contacts or they don't respond? sometimes networks might have that warm lead already, no?
 
i think relying on networks can actually be smart sometimes, especially for the warm leads and quicker deals but u gotta be careful with the margins and quality control. totally agree that direct outreach is more control but sometimes u just need that leg up. depends on ur niche and how fast u wanna move, ya know?
 
I've found networks can actually work if u got the right contacts and pitch, afaik it's all about building relationships. sometimes the warm leads do come from networks, but yeah, u gotta keep a close eye on margins and quality control. different strokes tho.
 
Haha, avoiding networks for high-ticket deals? bet u mean the "high-maintenance" ones, right? one tip: focus on LinkedIn automation tools to find and qualify contacts fast, saves u time and keeps it more direct.
 
Honestly, I think avoiding networks for high-ticket deals might be missing some legit opportunities. sure, there's risks but if u vet the partners right, it can still be a quick route to warm leads. ngl, some of my biggest high-ticket wins came from a well-chosen network connection.
 
different angle: i kinda lowkey feel ya but also had a situation where i went all in on a high-ticket network deal and it turned into a nightmare, bruh. the client was legit all about the quick wins but ghosted after 2 weeks, left me holding the bag. sometimes u gotta risk it to get the biscuit but damn, these networks ain't always friendly lol.
 
Last month I got burned on a high-ticket network deal, dude. Thought it was a quick win but turns out the client was just chasing quick cash, ghosted after payment. Had to learn the hard way that not all network leads are worth the hassle
 
been doing this 3 years and I gotta say, the OP kinda got the title backwards. I mean, I get the frustration but avoiding all networks for high-ticket deals is kinda extreme. It's about vetting the right ones, not dumping them all. Most of my big wins came from networks, but yeah, you gotta be picky and do your homework. Not everything is trash just cause some bad apples mess it up.
 
If you're gonna do high-ticket deals through networks, always insist on a detailed vetting process before even getting close to signing anything. Check their payment history, reviews, and how they handle disputes. ymmv but in my experience that kinda upfront diligence cuts down on a lot of the drama and sketchy situations.
 
different angle: sometimes networks are the only way to get high-ticket clients fast, but yeah, you gotta have strict vetting and maybe even a backup plan in case shit hits the fan.
