Ya, ya, I know what a lot of people will say you make it up on exits, upsells, cross sales, cancelled members emails, email collectors etc...trust me when I say this, it isn't enough. There isn't enough to cover overhead such as lease, utilities, taxes, salaries etc...
It's really interesting to get insight from somebody 'in the know' as you are since you operate sites. In your opinion what should/would a true Per Signup Payout based on a) trials (ex. 4.95 trial) b) full membership (ex. $29.99 membership) based on what you know about the ability to pay without any BS involved?

Judging by the post I would assume that $20-$25 would be reasonable? I had worked out some numbers on this about a year ago to see if I could understand some of the payout structures. I came in the range of $20-$25. How does that sound to you?
