The industry really has changed in the last few years - from the dizzying heights of $70 and $100 payouts per signup, to the 'average' of about $35 to $35 now.

We've also seen the decline of free trials, and there's been much debate about whether a paid trial really is better in the long run anyway.

The reason all this is happening is because of declining retentions, higher fraud and higher cancellations on the sponsors behalf. People these days have net banking, and can see a charge show up in hours. Compare this to the old days when you had to wait a month for your paper statement to arrive.

I also think that the general public are much more aware of their rights, and whereas in the old days people would have looked at you with a blank stare if you'd mentioned a "chargeback", most consurmers know they have the right to dispute charges these days.

Moving forward, if this trend continues we're only going to see the furthe decline of payouts until something changes. This is what we have done with Swoit, a system where we believe everybody wins.

At any rate, make the most of these special $50 and $70 per signup days - who knows how much longer they will last!
