NO MORE REBILLS!!!!!!!!!!!

Who cares about the couple of chargebacks if we cannot rebill the customer.
Not true. Rebills stay the same. If the cardhodler was Verified by Visa then the recurring will be as well. But then we get back to giving good, visable, true disclosure, good quality and ever changing content.

I think it is s good thing and that the bottom line, profits and retention of your Members will increase.

I know I will get slammed by saying this... but I think that everyone needs to start thinking about retention times (it was 5 or 6 months, now 2 or so months...) instaed of sign ups that don't or won't convert. The long term players want a Member that joins, stays, does not ask for credit and does not chargeback. That requires good pricing, honest disclosure, great content and a good billing company (like EPOCH or CCBill) that provides good customer service and helful agents that know how to keep money, not credit everyone with a pulse our of fear.

What are your credits and chargebacks in dollars? Subtract those from your sales. At the end of the year that is your adjusted gross. That, imo, is what matters, if you are a paysite owner.

But what do I know....


Kimmy... call me when you are back to things....
