Not for everyone.
Not everybody pays out all of that for every sale. For instance...one of the consequences of pirate sites like pornhub is that they really hurt my freesites. I can't compete with full length stolen movies.
So...while that hurts my affiliate work badly...it also hurts my affiliates sending traffic to me. Sucks.
But, since I have worked hard on making sure that people searching for Claudia Marie will find her site...the amount of type in traffic is now through the roof. Affiliates only account for maybe 10% of my sales these days.
So I made a non-affiliate type in tour. And for my non-affiliate type in tour I use Zombaio for processing. Average a couple thousand members a month on that tour.
For each $29.99 sale I make $27.62. No "traffic" costs. And my hosting cost is minimal. Matter of fact I'll call it "0" and pay it from the money my free sites make.
So right there Paul...I'm NETTING (profit) $55,240 a month just off my type in traffic.
You are really trying too hard to belittle what folks can make on the internet bro. That's just one piece of my puzzle. Money I'm able to pay directly to myself. Not pay a bunch of employees, etc. Just me. In my bank account.
Just wanted to point out that your theories on how an honest paysite can profit or not profit are not close to being correct.
