Now some numbers to play with:
  • CCbill fee's 12.5% or so, often split with affiliates on revshare.
  • Bandwidth cost per member per month: $2.69 for myself
  • Content production & purchases per month: $3.54 per member.
  • Affiliate cut: 50%
  • Average membership price: $30.00

Affiliate earns $13.13 per sale (no ccbill split fee)
Owner earns $7.75 per sale

As you will see that is more than 15% profit for yourself. Of course as your member numbers go up your content costs per members go down. Also depending on your hosting often the more you use the less you pay per MBPS.

This also does not include any self generated traffic and sales.
just a few comments:

- as far as I know his content is more europe friendly than usa friendly, so verotel might be a smart choice..

- 12.5% to ccbill requires a volum of atleast $12500 a week.. a new niche program won't hit that quickly..

- a 50/50 program should cover the fee so affiliates should get $15 in your example..
