You were an affiliate, and yet you decided to create a paysite program? Why?
Answer: As an attempt to achieve a higher $/click for yourself.
You agree with me, even if you fail to know that your actions and posts disagree  |
I got into paysites by buying them. I did the same with affiliate sites before. I don't give a shit about clicks, I care about ROI. When I have to pay a large investment upfront to be made over 6 months - 2 years, I care about longterm results. If a sponsor is going to close up shop (this is buying affiliate sites, typically - but paysites can be huge affiliates too) after 8 months and rip me off for the last 2 months of that, then I have to scramble for replacements which costs time and money.
So while $/click is great for someone who buys traffic instantly and converts it and is paid immediately, if you factor time, effort, risk into the equation it becomes less important. I'd rather hit targets reliably then try to squeeze out 2 more cents every 1000 clicks and lose it all. The ROI in adult is excellent, why make it riskier by associating with shady programs and people.
