If you buy my joins flat out for $40 per or something, then you have the right to do whatever you want after the sale is closed.
With revshare, I'm taking a risk. A risk that the customer will stay and be happy.
Remember, this is a member you would not have, if I hadn't sent them to you, and I could have sent them somewhere else. If we're really partners, then treat me like a partner. If not, then pay me, cash upfront, and then do what you like.

I agree with you and also disagree in some ways.
Technically the whole "partners" thing really needs to be ironed out better I think to help fix all of these issues. For instance the affiliate is not being a true partner as they do not cover half of everything aside from what we charge the member, possibly chargebacks, and processing - though that is a hot button topic as well.
It is a lopsided partnership at very least. Gets even more lopsided as the more tools and resources are used by the affiliate. Plus the affiliate really carries no real financial risk unless the sponsor goes under and they loose potential future rebills. (OK they have some risk but again lopsided).
So can anyone answer and explain a simple way to make it so that the affiliate gets his cut of every single members area upsell? Hell lets assume that a paysite has a VOD upsell, a sex store upsell, and 2 related paysites where they did content trades and upsell each other. All different companies.
