I?ve been working the last couple of months on my new pay per signup program that I?m planning to launch in two weeks. The biggest problem for me was to grow with the current partner program as webmasters in most cases prefer PPS programs. I planed to offer the same pay per signup amount of $35-40 as the big programs do and I charged the members also a monthly price of $39.95. Over the last months I checked out tons of sites from various companies and I never thought that it is worth to pay $39.95 per month for it. The whole calculation never seemed very ?healthy? to me but I would have been forced to swim with the river if I want to grow.
I use myself tons of sponsors beside my own sites and I?m not happy about losing $10 per signup right away now but everybody who sees the whole picture will agree that the current situation is just unrealistic. A monthly price for a membership of around $30 is more then enough and paying the affiliates $25-30 just makes a logical calculation at the end.
I think that mostly the little webmasters created the current situation, because webmaster programs are forced to offer higher and higher payouts to keep their webmasters and to get new ones. 90% of the webmasters signup right away for a program if they see a high PPS amount?
The current changes made myself think and I decided to lower my membership prices and affiliate payouts so they will be identical to the new Silver Cash and ARS payouts because it just makes more sense. On the other side for programs with 10,000?s of webmasters making drastical changes if much easier, time will show how the whole situation will turn out for a new program like mine.
