With PPS you don't have the risk. you get paid no matter if they stay a member 5 minutes of 5 years so the company takes more in the long run in order to pay you up front. That is part of the deal of getting a larger sum up front.
What I would love to see is a PPS where they gave you a little bonus if the person did a xsell. Maybe you get $35 per signup, but $45 if they did a xsell.

xsells don't really make you more money, they just allow you to make more money upfront.
If a person signs up for two or three memberships simultaneously, it's a reach to think that they're going to stay a member of all 3 sites for a long period of time.
Generally speaking for every $1 you make from a cross sell you lose $1 in retention, so it's a wash over time but it allows you to make more money right now as opposed to over time.
This is why it's a ripoff for a revshare program to have xsells on the signup page and why you should never promote a revshare program that has them.
