I always here this argument.
One of the other clip stores offers up to 70%. Little do they mention that this is some combination of their 40-50% payout, then some (15-25%) percentage for sending your own traffic with your referral link, etc..
ASSuming that they buy from your store, and not some other.
Neil has been 60% payout regardless, no tricks or other marketing ploys. This was before the upstart in all the competition. Frankly, I'll take the 60% and no affiliate program. I will drive my own traffic, and keep the c4s pop, and Howard Stern as gravy.
The other clips stores, other than clips4sale, are not as popular because of their lower payouts, their lack of good traffic and some have had other issues. I have my own opinions, but I will say that this generalization has come from some of my conversations with a lot of clip store owners over the years. Not a simple one sided opinion.
I have clips stores on all the sites except clip clinic. I tried them when they came out end of last year, and their interface was simply too complicated. I do not like web or browser based uploaders. Period! FTP was made for a reason. However, that was not the only draw back.
As for C4S, DVD sales should not be gouged at the same 40% take as a clip. Clip is a bandwidth cost. DVD is not. You are doing little more than the processing, and it should be treated as such. I do not mind a 10-12%. Maybe even a good 15% take to processor, But 40%!?!?
Each clip store has it's quirks. Not one of them is perfect by any means. Clips4Sale just happens to be the closest.
