Sometimes you people forget that just because someone opens their doors and tries to get you promoting them, it doesn't mean that they unlimited resources and can promise you the world. You want 6 million free hosted galleries, free hosted paysites, exclusive content to only you and want to make $600 per sale on a $1 trial.... well, it just isn't going to happen from a company that is just getting their roots planted.

Definitely a kiss of death if going from PPS to revshare. Even if one does have the financial backing to launch from the start with a PPS model, it is always best to start from the revshare model if you are new to having a program. Learn and adjust your sites accordingly until you truly have numbers that make sense and you know you can pay on a per signup basis. There is no guarantee just because you launch a new site, that it will work. I'll bet for every good site within a PPS program, they also have a poor site that breaks even or even loses money.
For now, we leave the PPS programs to guys like Bradshaw, Marc De and the list goes on because they are established and are seasoned with this type of model. With that said, we are just around the corner from offering PPS on our sites and a handful of new sites but it hasn't been something that has happened overnight.
Metaform, I'm sure you are a good guy but just by the way your posts are written, I get the impression that you are way over your head. Take baby steps and grow from there. You will be thankful you did 1-2 years from now.We are what we repeatedly do.-AristotleComment

Jumping right into PPS is totaly financial suicide if your a noob affiliate program owner.

I think that the saddest thing about this whole StudioCash hype was that it was given much importance to the sites themselfs, I mean most programs work in BRANDING what they offer not only their fucking program name.
Ad to that lots of indecisions and going-back decisions and wel....goodluckComment

oh man... I thought StudioCash would be the best thing to hit the industry in years, now it turns out you can't even offer PPS next to revshare?

For an affiliate, SOME sites will do best with revshare ... while a boat load will do much better with PPS... especially when joins are coming from TGP traffic... and the payout is $35+
Why dont you give your affiliates the choice instead of telling them how they should think..!?
Or just admit you cannot handle the PPS model right now..Last edited by xxxdesign-net; 05-06-2005, 01:53 PM.Comment

Most of you who responded do not have a clue, saying this is the kiss of death.Originally posted by Traxthread gone wrong lol
let me translate it:
If a program goes from PPS to revshare this means the sites suck, don't retain and don't make the owner any money... that means I would not even bother sending you traffic to the revsh solution either because they can not retain the surfer....
THAT EASY
Let me explain this for you so you understand the situation.
We have NEVER offered PPS, we are not all of a sudden switching from PPS to revshare. We are in beta mode, and from the start have offered a per active payout model.
The plan was to offer either revshare or PPS after the beta. I have decided on revshare.
For some reason though, I see the same haters in every one of my threads. I love it. This is exactly what I wanted when I made this thread.
You know the saying about controvercy....guess what? It's true. Thanks haters, keep it up and give us more affiliates.

By the time I am done, the jealous hater and his mother will be sending traffic to StudioCash. Cause even jealous haters can't pass up money.
And here is todays admin stats for the entire program. Put this in your pipe and smoke it haters.

I really love it when people come in here and tell me I don't know what I am doing. Does your program do 1 in 412 first page hits with all kinds of traffic combined?

Once again, you guys have your facts wrong.
It is $35 per active currently, not $25.
We are retaining at 33% right now. That is the industry average in case you did not know. The site is brand new, and were making changes to it on a weekly basis, so that will improve. And were gonna do whatever it takes to increase that 33% average.

No, they like the site we offer and the program, they are not clueless, and they have voiced their opinion to me about their dislike with the per active model, which is why we are changing to revshare.Originally posted by Trax$35 per active?? jesus... the guys sending you traffic must be clueless lol
One thing no one here understands is we are in BETA MODE. There is a reason it is called Beta mode. That is so we can test stuff and find the method that works best for our webmasters and us.
But I guess everyone would rather I just do the same thing everyone else does. Innovation be damned.

I call them haters because that is what they are. Look at the people in this thread who are talking shit (Rich, Crypt, European Lee, Franck) they are the same exact people who just follow me around and talk shit about StudioCash. Anytime StudioCash is mentioned, they are there.
They are haters plain and simple. What should I call them? All they do is just be negative about everything. If news broke that StudioCash just cured cancer, they will still hate becaus it's StudioCash.
Why do they hate? Because they are trying to get their own names out there by creating drama around StudioCash because it's a well known name.
But I like the haters, they serve a purpose for me.

I don't think I have ever posted in one of your threads, so I probably don't qualify as a hater, but I see the points they are making.
One of them asked why you didn't let the affiliate choose between PPS and partnership if you know you can make money with both models. I too would like to hear an answer to this question. Is seems to me that you would make your program more attractive if you let the affiliates choose for themselves.. Why not do this?Comment

To answer your question, we will give the affiliates the choice between PPS or revshare down the line, just not right away.
For now, we will start with revshare.

Ok, your question if fair. Lets put it this way. If we want to offer both a PPS and revshare, that means I have to put in the infrastructure for a PPS model, which means cross sells, exits up the wazzoo, and other 'shady' things. I don't want to do that and would rather keep things straight forward with a simple revshare model for now. Does that answer your question?Originally posted by mortenbThat's just it.

Finally its your choice, and not a request from affiliates to do more money like you said before. lol
Bullshit #348
Re-read your old bullshit before starting new one , its worst everytime.
BTW, its not againt your program , its more about how YOU do things, and lie to everyone to get accepted. Dont try to start on top of the building if you cant. Do like everyone, start on the bottom and climb.Comment

Mine does, easily.Originally posted by MetaformX
I really love it when people come in here and tell me I don't know what I am doing. Does your program do 1 in 412 first page hits with all kinds of traffic combined?
We also convert over 40% of our trials to monthly memberships. And 20% of new signups opt for the monthly option initially.
Also, I'm curious about this
You're counting rebills as sales when calculating your 1 in 412 ratio? If so your ratio is alot worse than that.Originally posted by MetaformXYes, thats trials + rebills combined. Mostly trials though.sig too bigComment

Who the fuck cares.. Now if you came on her and announced a 60% or 70% revshare model, that might be interesting.. But coming on here and announcing that you made a fucking decision.. Jeez.. What sort of lame as fuck mangement are you?? Grow a sack or something.. I couldn't care less if you succeed or fail.. But stop being such a lame ass looking for the approval of your peers... You get it by making decisive decisions and making people some fucking money...Originally posted by MetaformXStudioCash conversions have been nothing short of amazing so far, but with an Active member payout model, many of our webmasters have told us that they wanted something more.
So, after much testing and tweaking, and comparing of different payout models, we have decided that a 50/50 partnership would best serve our webmasters in the long run.
Of course there is a reason why most affiliate programs go with a PPS model and not a Partnership. The reason is because the PPS model makes the most money for the PROGRAM. It is a numbers game, and if done right, there is no doubt that PPS is more profitable. The numbers don't lie.
We however are taking a different approach. I want to create a partnership program that makes it quite evident and clear to the webmaster that he/she can make more money with a partnership program over a PPS.
I have a simple outlook on the difference between a partnership program and a PPS program. With a Partnership program, you are a partner. With a PPS program, you are an employee.
The smart webmaster who has a long term approach already knows that a partnership model is the smartest choice. You will make more money with a partnership, make no mistake about that, and my goal is to make StudioCash the best Partnership program on the net.
This is our Anal site xGape that you will be able to promote on a partnership
We will be releasing our Interracial site shortly.
Our move to the partnership model will take place next week.Comment
