I want so badly to market to the BRIC countries. So much potential. So hard to break in. Pharmaceutical companies are pulling their hair our trying to get into these markets, would affiliates have it any easier?
One word of advice - Don't Fuck With the Russians.
OK, that's 5 words, but heed them nonetheless.

Da!
And we have so much cheap vodka over there you could sink in it :angryfire:
Seriously, there is much more stuff in Russia now then in US and A
You can't sell to the Russians...
1. A lot of them do not use credit/debit cards
2. They don't trust the interwebs (can you blame them with so many of the spammers in BRIC)
3. If they can get it for free they will never pay... so forget any digital product
Just visited last year

i second that... plus - if you're not russian, just... forget it. You will NEVER figure them out unless you were born there. Same goes for Japan I guess?..
Internet in Soviet Russia?? We couldn't even listen american radio stations :xmas-smiley-016:
Now it's WAY faster than in Canada and they don't have d/l limits with most providers unlike Rogers (fuck I hate it :angryfire
Russians like their girls like they like their vodka - About 12 years old and in a bottle. Wait, what?
You know, this is actually a really astute inquiry. Russia was at the avant garde of internet marketing until the early 2000's when their major spammers (Kushnir, Tolstokozhev, etc) were murdered in presumably (non-spam)-related incidents. The fact is, the Russians are some of the most technologically inclined peoples on Earth - AND had earliest access to the interwebz, and thusly horded thousands (if not millions) of IPs and blocks, etc, from which to send penis pill emails and make (literal) killings.
However, this market is both growing and robust, and there is a fortune to be had. . .if there is a way to infiltrate. I do know that Adlabs, Ogava, Ruvza are some pretty large networks in Russia but I have YET to deal with them personally, though I would love to. . .my guess is that they keep things pretty insulated due to the negative stigmas that have come from their previous spam endeavors, but if you can get into the space - which I'm sure you can, just utilize some of those sweet google 'skillz' - you can make it profitable.
