True enough. We initially looked at it that way as well.
But then I looked at it from the aspect of comparing it to a retail operation, and considered that no business would consider only a 15% profit return on sales.
Besides that, everyone else in the equation would be gaining a greater profit margin than ourselves as producers of the original content.
Plus, being in the niche genre - affiliate sales would eat in to the finite number of potential customers that are out there. The more members that sign up through affiliates would mean the less potential members we'd have through direct sales (at a higher profit margin).
We're thinking it may be akin to slowly giving away the golden goose, so to speak.
Just a few things I've been mulling over. 'Preciate the input czarina.
