I'm trying to decide if I should spend the $750 on Visa for a new solo girl site or if I should just wait a couple of months and see how it goes?

"see how it goes" as in not getting any sales at all?. -

if you DON'T take visa you might as well just say "cash only"

It's like asking how important is it to carry $5's, $10's, $20's and your wallet or just ones.

As someone who used to work in the credit card industry, depending on your region, you could be missing out on a lot of sales. Visa has relationships with different card issuing banks such as BankOne where they have to issue a minimum of 70% Visa cards at least that's what it was a few years back. With other banks it's a minimum of about 30%. So if you average that out it's pretty significant.
If you were talking about Discover card then that'd be a different story, but to not offer Visa could really impact your sales.Comment

I just checked my wallet. 3 pieces of Visa, nothing else.
I would suspect many potential customers are in the same boat. If you disclose that you don't have full processing, many potential affiliates won't promote the site or program.
So, invest in your business already.Comment

You willl lose so many sales without it, but that is just my opinion, I've only been in the biz for 6 years +/- so many of these guys have more experience. However, I have worked for two major sponsors and that is where WAY over half the sales come from. Also look up NetCash, and hit me up and I'll get you a contanct directly so you don't just blindly email support. Keep your options open, but yes, VISA is must IMO.Need a Writer? Contact Me.

How do you know if you lose a sale or not. The people who decide not to sign up come and tell them why, every time?
I agree with most in this thread that Visa is an important part of the equation for online sales.
I have several credit cards and two bank debit cards and all of them say Visa on them, not a Master card amongst them.All cookies cleared!Comment

if you are too stingy or broke to spend the 750, you should really reconsider the whole paysite thing.you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..Comment

Because most of the yahoo cam girls from back in the day of the user created "pay2play" chat rooms talked to the people that wanted to buy shows before hand... And most just had simple pages that they directed people to when it was time to pay.. All marketing was done by hustleing in the chat room..Comment

only Visa's here. whats the site?Comment

VISA is pretty much the only thing used in A LOT of countries.. In Denmark we have access to other types of cards, but VISA debit cards is what 99.9% of us use. Are you only going to focus on the US as your market?Comment

its vital i think. close to 50% of salesComment

Agreed. I just dumped out my purse and EVERY damn thing I have has a Visa symbol on it whether it be an actual CC or a debit. I don't even know where the hell my check book is and I would never charge jack shit to my phone.
I also agree that if you can't afford to take Visa, you should reconsider launching a site because it will drown. There are SO MANY beautiful girls with Solo Sites, all which take visa, there can't be anything so special about yours because they will just find another hottie that takes Visa. I've only seen about 200 of them, ALL took Visa. I used to be a site reviewer. (Writer)Need a Writer? Contact Me.

having Visa processing is a must.
I would never sign up as an affiliate for a program without visa processing.
Without VISA your program would look like some nasty fly by night biz.
And you will be losing more than half of your salesComment

I wonder about the fuzz you make about 750$, if you are starting a paysite, that's nothing, nada.
It's not like it's 75k and it's an investment in a business you want to run long term...and I'm pretty sure it's like 5% of your total investment in the site or less...many people pay more for hosting in a month.
I just don't get it...Comment

It's a must.
If you have to, use your VISA to pay VISA their $750... you'll get it back quickly if you know what you're doing.

You will definitely lose out on sales. However, you won't lose out on as many sales as some people say.
Though Visa may account for ~ 70% of transactions, a considerable percentage of Visa cardholders also have a Mastercard. On top of that, a majority of them will also have chequing accounts. So though you'll lose out, it won't be 70%. Probably more like 40% to 50%.
