I've never advertised a price for Claudia-Marie.Com I've always felt that when you are offering a premium website that using price as a marketing tool made your shit look cheap. I market on the strength of the site itself. When the surfer clicks "Join" they see the price that is presented to them.

There just really isn't any need to list a site price on the tour (I'm not even gonna get into the idiocy of review sites ideas of "marketing") unless you are "bragging" about how cheap it is.

And I've made a LOT of money over the years banking that people don't want to have something "cheap" They want something good and they will pay for it if it meets their criteria. And that was just in my affiliate work, the same thing has worked fantastic from the paysite side of things just like I knew it would.

If you decide to treat yourself to a fine steak dinner as a reward to yourself...are you gonna look for the cheapest one in town, or for the quality you crave? And no, I don't mean you are going to hunt for the most expensive one either. But I'm gonna go to that little steak house that I know has the best ones in town (The Ranchouse here in Vegas) and I'm gonna pay $40 for an 8 oz filet that tastes like heaven. And at that point i don't care that I could have went to Dennys and had a $6 piece of shoe leather.

I know it's a little off topic...but you did ask about the customer being pissed at a different pricing showing on the join page than what they had saw on the tour. So I'm giving my long winded soliloquy about my marketing strategy on that topic.

In other words...Geo Billing makes me great money on my paysite and "no" I'm not losing anything, I'm gaining.
