To Our Valued Friends and Affiliates,
It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that as of November 27th, Wupload will officially be closing its affiliate program.
After an incredible period of growth in such a short period of time, we have had to make the tough decision to close our affiliate program as it is no longer financially viable for us to continue it.
Wupload’s file hosting service will remain active and technical support will still be provided as per usual, and our customer support system will remain active for any inquiries by members, whether free or paid.
We encourage all users and affiliates to continue to use Wupload to store and share their files, and we will remain one of the most reliable and secure storage solutions in the business.
We will honour all memberships that were already purchased by affiliates or by regular users.
Thanks to the loyalty and the hard work of all of our friends and affiliates, we were able to surpass our growth expectations in terms of traffic, but as anybody in the file hosting business can tell you, traffic does not always mean profitability.
Now, where does this leave you, the hardworking affiliate with unpaid earnings?
We are going to pay out every dollar owed to our affiliates. The affiliate program will close on November 27th, a Sunday, and the last payout will be November 30th, the following Wednesday.
Wupload could not have achieved the growth it did without the hard work, effort and enthusiasm that you all brought to our affiliate program, so I thank you and wish you all nothing but luck and good fortunes in your future endeavours.
Regards,
Willy
As expected after Willy answered my PM here.
Willy said that they dont have any plan to disable internal remote upload.
Internal RU killed wupload itself.
Hara Kiri.
Willy why not...
1.reduce payouts across the board by 30%
2. impose limits on account holders with regard downloads maybe 150-200gig max per month only people who really abuse need more. If they want 500gig per month its double the monthly fees.
3. stop all remote outbound transfers to everyone except filesonic
4. impose limits on RU to 50 gig per day per account?
5. cut in half the referal income so down to 5%
6. basically find a way to stop all the abuse of your system and you will be rolling in profits, i see such waste with 1000's of huge files only getting perhaps 1 or 2 hits in total on some forums. If a file is not downloaded more than 50 times per month and is 500meg -1 gig in size it should auto delete.
wupload will die off rather quickly if you cut off the affil prog which would be a shame, there must be a lot of value in this company as it is. Maybe add some advertising revenue?
If it is rather some other reason aside from financial then okay.
wupload has been a money machine for a lot of people so even if it does close down i wish you well in the next venture, some of the bonuses and promos you have run have been awesome thanks for those and never missing a payment. Also you have taken a lot of personal flack on here and never lost your cool, not sure many people could handle that.
I will not be deleting my files that are live now since i am confident you will find a way to come back with a great affiliate scheme that is very profitable. Traffic is king today on the net and you have that don't let that slide away. Make your company profitable.
Well, that's the kind of people wupload rather have on they site.
The kind of people that wanted only the money.
