I don't get it.

I offer non-rebilling options. I don't do free trials. There are no hidden clauses or even remotely deceptive tactics to any of my membership options. I haven't even considered such tactics...

Yet, I make my living off of around 1,000 hits a day. I have loyal members, they rebill with rebilling memberships, they buy multiple non-rebilling memberships, they sign up for 6 months at a time.

Why do the big programs, with their high production values and professional staff, not to mention thousands of affiliates, have such a hard time making money with plain and simple membership?

I guess what I am saying is this: Offering free trials, or making $70 payouts, or whatever, is your choice. You could be making good money, even if you hadn't upped the bar. Tactics like those have made it that much harder for people like me to market our sites, and our affiliate programs. Further, it is *not* the only way to make money. It's just a way to make *more*... but can it last?
