It's not CCBill's fault that your conversions and sales have decreased. Try consistently finding new programs to signup to and keeping things fresh

Hello we are in a global depression...do not think banks..billing companies are immune...they are the ones on most of our fucking cash registers....before they allow themselves to go out of business they will generate revenue from somewhere...
banking - requires no creativity or innovation
producing content - requires skill,dedication,talent,etc
customers have the money...producers have the content...banks and billing companies have the merchant accounts and gateways.... customer wants content....
billing companies have cleverly inserted themselves in between us the producers, and the customers who have the money....
we allow 3rd party FOR PROFIT companies to collect our funds in our absence...let that settle in for a minute
when sales begin to diminish for us...how in the holy hell do you expect those senior management banking and billing company execs to continue to pay their gambling debts?? or "other" habits??? the money has got to come from somewhere...
You producers will always have something customers want...someone somewhere will always want to buy what you have...however if you have a billing company with no oversight...not even letting you know how many clicks you get to the join page...then what else could you expect in this recession???
Don't tell me my content is dead...I have one of the largest if not the largest followings in my niche...people still want the content and I have been doing it for 6 years...
I offered a direct merchant account sign up option for my surfers for the last week of march...and it out performed my 3rd party processors 5 to 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I whole heartedy reject the notion of dead sales...only DEAD WITH 3RD PARTY billing!!!!!!
WHat else is sad is that so many of you lurk here and will not cosign but you will sit back and say damn that is the truth....
3rd party is the necessary evil that is killing us...think outside the box...think think think
What would you do if you were late on your mortgage and you were working on someone elses cash register??? You would skim a few dollars so your kids are not living on the street!
