Factor THOSE in on top of your other magical sales.

Hey bro...bandwidth is 7 cents a gig. For my paysite, I do all my own design. I don't use "sigwhores", don't even understand how they could make me one thin dime. Keep my legal fees to a minimum. My paysite is a single girl's site...so my "content expenses" are low since I just pay males to do scenes with her and that isn't expensive (plus I write ALL those expenses off on taxes), processing fees on 29.99 is about 5 bucks.
I'm making great money. Working hard and making money. It all makes sense to me.
I agree about the stupidity of PPS. I hate it. I probably sold 10,000 memberships to Nasty Dollars over the last few years. All PPS because they didn't offer revshare. I would have LOVED to have used revshare as I would still be getting checks from that.
I NEVER choose PPS when I promote a site. I go revshare all the way. If the site sucks and I don't see it retaining...I simply move on and don't promote them anymore.
But I definitely see how the paysite owners can pay out those big PPS payouts. They are going to make their money back damn near everytime. Especially if their site is good.
In my opinion, if you are promoting PPS then you are losing a lot of money. Promoting sites via revshare has made me wealthy. And the guys I know that were greedy and wanted the quick money now? They are always scrambling.
But maybe it's just the way different people think. I've always been one who believes in hard work and building stuff up. You can't "build up" your money on PPS. You have to make or break every month. Whereas with revshare you can build up some really BIG accounts over the years.
