Hi Kelly,
From
your other thread it looks like you've had less than 100 clicks on your Shareasale affiliate links.
It is way, way, WAAAAYYYYYY too early to be saying that you must be getting "cheated" out of your commissions. You've only had 44 clicks! We would normally say that (on average) 1 in 100 clicks will turn into a sale. But this varies wildly based on the kind of traffic you're sending.
I have pages that will send thousands of clicks without making a sale. That's because those people aren't really interested in buying what I'm promoting.
I have other pages where 1 in 20 clicks will turn into a sale. These are people who have specifically searched for a product review for this specific product.
I haven't had a very detailed look at your site, but before you start jumping to conclusions you really need to look at how people are arriving at the pages with those links on them, and have a think about what they're looking for. (If you're getting search engine traffic, use Google Search Console to see what keywords they're using to arrive at your site.)
The psychic told you that you were getting cheated because that's the only way the psychic (with no knowledge of affiliate marketing, online marketing, etc) could explain "lots of clicks but no sales".
What's more likely is that your traffic is not targeted, and your sample size is too small to start drawing conclusions from yet. If you've had 4000 clicks and no sales... THEN we might start digging down and seeing what's really going on. But not yet!
