30 sets for example, gives you 7 months of [weekly] updates.
Take 4 of those sets and put them in a 'reserve'.
Any time an update happens, take the first set in the members area and throw that into the reserve, whilst taking the first set in the 'reserve' and put it into the members area.

When I had less paysites and most of them were "amateur solo girls" I did this and it was indeed successful! Now that I have so many sites I think need to hire someone to do this or find a good script that could do it automatically.......awesome input tho and thanks for reminding me (us?) on the value of this strategy.

1. Don't have deceptive cross sales and upsells. My worst converters (for rebills) have these as well as more refunds and chargebacks. I had one sponsor who had horrible rebuills and CB ratios but they quit with the BS and now they are getting back to the normal (or the new normal anyway). Stay away from prechecked or deceptive one-click upgrades. When your surfers see these things I theorize that it puts them on the defensive and makes them more apt to cancel (or CB when they get hit).
2. Keep your content off the pirate sites. If members see they can get it all for free one day after you publish it then why should they pay? Try to turn would be pirates into long term customers. Let them spend hours looking for a certain scene only to give up and decide to join! And btw don't give tubes (especially the ones with a history of piracy) more than you give your affiliates. That is saying "Fuck you!" to them.
Back in the old days rebills were great and would go on for 3 - 5 years routinely with the old AVS (adult verification system) systems. It made one's income build and build. Part of that was the lack of free content and the lack of it all being in one place.

More great points! I don't do upsells and cross-sells are CCBill programs only (mostly friends of mine LOL plus a few sites I know convert well for others).
Piracy is a cat-and-mouse game, as you know, but I do use content removal companies.
And wouldn't rebills of 3 YEARS be oh so amazing today?

This ties in with the 'rotate your content' strategy. I see this pattern too, Members canceling then re-joining months (or even years) later. Gotta start a-rotatin'.....

Ahh you know I love Mr. Roald!! Your avatar is so colorful...
But I contacted Petra on December 17 of last year after checking traffic stats. I get hardly anything from FreeOnes so I'm not even sure how much (if any) business FreeOnes is doing with PeabodyCash websites. I know you guys are an affiliate and I know I have a few of the best-converting websites anywhere so I was looking to see how we could work together more.
Maybe I contacted the wrong person out of the blue like that and/or it was the Holidays. I always blame myself first. Haha!!
Anyway, maybe you and I can ICQ or something equally dirty soon.
