I give 50% but I pay the CCBill fees which are around 13.5%. Now a lot of programs say they pay 60-70% but then they have CCBill take the processing fees out of your half instead of theirs. I'm thinking of raising my payouts to 65% and having the CCBill fees taken out of the affiliate checks just because so many webmasters seem to sleep better at night under the midguided notion that they are getting more money.

What is your site? All I see is webmaster labor in the sig.
Once you work it all out, 50% is more than most realize. Site owners have a lot of headaches, overhead or additional costs to pay out of their portion.
How do you guys giving 65% or more deal with it ?

I'm paying 60% and still making good money. With bandwidth at about 10 cents a gig a typicall member downloads 3 gigs and cost me 30 cents, so 40% of $24.95 still ain't half bad.

If you pay another 13.5% out of your 40% that drops it to 27.5% pretty fast to reinvest in content, designs, and have a little money for yourself ?

We offer 60% because we value our affiliates plain & simple.
Without you, we wouldn't get the sale at all, and we all know that 40% is more than nothing.

I just make more galleries myself and submit. It balances out the difference along with upsells .
Dont forget some sponsors pay 70%, but YOU Pay the processor fees...You have to look in the terms somewhere for that.
We pay you a clean 50%. so you sell a membership of 35US, you get 17,50US...We think that is a fair percentage. We pay the designers, hosting, shoot exclusive content etc etc...Some affiliates really think starting a paysite is easy...Well it's not, a good paysite is not that easy to create and maintain...
I pay 60 percent and I pay the ccbill fee. Although I don't state it, I also will pay 65 percent with an affiliate with great search engine traffic that is sending me sales.
Most programs that say they are 60/40 really aren't as stated above. False advertizing IMO.
I could say we are 100/0 and deduct 14% for ccbill, 50% for content, 10% for misc. fees and you end up with 26%, but that wouldn't be right now would it?
We pay 50% of the gross sale. (what the surfer pays)
I hope your being sarcastic. Webmasters are suposed to do all the work. If programs did all the work why would they accept webmasters?
So you're saying webmasters should do all the work, yet they should only get 50% of the profits? I don't think 50% is a fair cut... That's why I promote my own sites most of the time now, instead of promoting sponsors that sit back and watch me earn them money.
Only exceptions I could see to justify a 50% payout... is if the site converts insanely well, provides other services like free hosting, or has alot of good free content for promotion. That would make it good for newbie's to start out with.. or if the member retention is really good then it might be worth while.

Webmasters do all the work?
Do you update the site regularly? Do you purchase and edit the exclusive content? Do you create new trailers weekly? Do you pay the sponsors hosting bill that YOU burn by using hosted picture AND movie content? Do you pay for new tours when a current tour just doesn't cut it? Do you pay the 15% processor fee? Do you pay for the feeds and other "bonus" content to keep your members happy?
You have your own paysites yet feel that your affiliates do all of the work? You must run some shitty paysites...

Well, not all the work... but definately alot more than 50% of it. I find marketing a site is alot harder than building one... and i don't pay for new tours, I build all of my own tours. As I said, I might try a 50/50 sponsor if i have reason to believe it will have insanely good conversions. But if not i won't go below 60/40.

Just my 2 cents...
You are a fucking moron. I pay the hosting bill. I pay the models. I photograph the fucking models. I create the HOSTED galleries. I build the tours and pay other people to build alternate tours. I update the God Damned site. I respond to members. I stick my neck on the line to deal with the fucking government.
And for some reason you think you deserve more than 50%??? For placing a link on your free site to one of my hosted galleries??? What's that link take you, a minute to put up?

FUCK YOU!
You have been making so much bling bling that you are rev sharing with models and designers. Maybe you pay them the standard fees and you could afford a higher percent for traffic.
Here's a new one started by the guys who own Deluxepass. They pay 60% and $35 per. You can toggle between the two at will. Their backend uses CCBill I believe.
