Investigation: Dialers dialers dialers...What you need to know.
Ok here's the lowdown.. We got Niteline, We got Gib, We got Live Sex Shows.. These are the three dialers on the market.. If you have a dialer, you have one of these.
Now I know you may be thinking "no i dont, I have Snow's or I have Molson's or I have Mr. Brians, dialer dough, dialerking, Miss Moo's, Gangsta Gals, the babes, etc", but the fact is they are all brokers for their respective dialer company.. I say again there are only 3 dialer companies on the market. Niteline, GIB and Live Shows, and probably 50 brokers distributing those products to you the webmaster.
Going more into this dynamic, I introduce the role of the broker, now that you know there are only 3 daier companies and 20 times the amount of brokers.. Gib, Niteline, and Live Shows all make several styles of dialers and gives it to thier "brokers" to market and distribute to webmasters.. It is up to the broker to pay us the webmaster. Webmasters never deal directly with the company only the brokers, simmply because the company doesnt have time to handle stuff.. The Broker is left with the responsibilty of answering questions, cooling people off, and getting people to use their dialer.
Contrary to what you may think, because we only see normally 35 cents a minute and charging the viewer 5.00 a minute, the broker doesnt make much money on this, they only make a penny or so, sometimes not even that! They make their Money on bulk.. That is the more people they distribute dialers to and the more minutes they get off their webmasters using their dialer the higher their rate of pay. They are simply distributers of a product, and are basically underpayed PR people. The bigger your broker usually the better rate of pay. It is best to go with a broker that has lots of webmasters under them.
Now for the type of dialers.
1) Niteline has 2 dialers.. They have a USA only dialer, and the have an interntional dialer. The USA dialer only accepts calls from USA, and pays you a flat pay rate of 35 to 40 cents a minute depending on your broker and depending on how many minutes you can give them.
The second dialer they offer is the internaitonal dialer.. They have two payment choices for you to choose form.. Either a flat rate of usually 35 to 40 cents a min for all countries (which are about 15 countries) Or you can have a pay scale choice where it is a different rate per country.. Both choices equal out to be about the same payout in the log run. in addition the niteline international dialer has an active X optional feature you can use which basically makes a popup window asking thesurfer right away to load your dialer.
Advantages/Disadvantages
First the USA dialer. Whats grat about it is the freindly warning page, and a very simple procedure for the viewer to connect.. Unlike all other dialers the nitline USA dialer doesnt require multiple tasks to connect, you just click connect, and you are connected. The disadvantage to this particular dialer is that it is USA only.. Understand that most calls are USA, but their is a large market out there not able to use your dialer.
The internaitional dialer has an advantage because it allows other countries to use your dialer, it opens the door to a lot more people.. The disadvantage to the international dialer is its warning page.. You have to click a bok agreeing you are the line subscriber, then scroll down to the bottom of a disclaimer page before it lets you connect. This in it self is a barrier to getting people to use your dialer.. So you have the larger market being international, but you are screaning out more people as well with the intrusive warning page.
Last, the niteline dialers tend to connect the viewer at a slow 24k connection, hardly fast enough to see a movie or live show.
Tomorrow I will write the review for the GIB dialer and the Live Shows dialer.. I havent typed this much since college, and I hated college.
