The only thing you did was cut out payments to affiliates. There is no operating costs of an affiliate program. The costs are in the paysite, especially considering the affiliate program would be on the same server. So it's a matter of 350 a month. So youre telling me that you aren't being paid 350 a month, so you took down the affiliate program. How about taking down the paysites considering they're not paying you? Im just trying to make some sense of this

Could be wrong but I think what he's saying is that if they pay the 50% to affiliates they are operating at a loss or not making enough money.
Which is kind of hard to believe personally. Let's say the whole program does 12 new joins a day (conservative considering all the other sites they have).
12 * $30 = $360
Then let us say the program has double that in rebills per day which is reasonable considering how popular it once was.
24 * 30 = $720
That adds up to $1080 a day in revenue. Even if every single sale were affiliate sales that would still leave $540 per day after paying affiliates.
$540 * 30 = $16,200 per month.
12 sales a day too high? Let's just say 7 sales a day then.
7 * 30 = $210 new sales / day
14 * 30 = $420 in rebills / day
$630 / day
$315 / day after paying 50% to affiliates.
$315 * 30 = $9,450 per month After paying affiliates.
Doesn't make sense to me unless about $5,000+ a month isn't enough for them to live on or the numbers are radically different (to many people it isn't but then again they probably have many affiliates who live on a lot less too) . It'd be interesting if Biggy would publish the numbers. At least it would give any affiliates who are actually losing money and upset an explanation. Don't get pissed that the numbers are wrong, Biggy. I'm just trying to come up with something here because the real numbers aren't known.
