Affiliates payouts, what's fair? (BUSINESS THREAD)

As it is now June and the 75% Rev Share has come to an end I'm setting the payouts for the future on the paysite. So asking your honest opinion on what is fair, looks honest and shows we are rewarding affiliates for the work they do.

The paysite traffic generation is mostly from affiliates, we get some from the content stores but not enough to make a big difference, around 1,000 uniques a day. We know for a fact a lot of members are coming back to join again and pick up all the new content, but must have come in the first place from affiliates. However we get a lot of join from "Type In Traffic" and this has to come from affiliates efforts because we do so little ourselves for it.

So Eva and I crunched the numbers and came up with the following formula. We will offer Rev Share or PPS payout options. We can afford them and feel there will be enough left to have the occasional "Bumper Payout Promotion" days. Tell us what you think.

The figures are based on per month.

1 to 25 joins = 60% Rev Share or $25 PS.

26 to 50 joins = 65% Rev Share or $30 PPS.

51 to 75 joins = 70% Rev Share or $35 PPS.

76 to 100 joins = 75% Rev Share or $40 PPS.

As I said this will allow us to offer extra bonus payout days. It also allows us to buy in lots of content, besides shooting it, to add appeal to the paysite.

As we build and get alternative income sources we will be able to put this up.
