Great thread!
The only reason I don't have a paysite/affiliate program is because I'm an asshole.
No other reason. Just an asshat retard asshole.
I tested it out a few years ago and I had no complaints. The difference is with me I make my content. No models or photogs to pay, no forms no nothing. So total cost per month was like $70. It paid for itself in an hour.
If I had to pay me for all the art I do I wouldn't be able to afford it. No company could. No matter how big shot they are. So in my case I technically was at a loss as I couldn't afford to pay me for the multiple jobs I did.
Now the good part is I didn't need 100's of webmasters to sell. 100s showed up and guys ask me several times a day to do an affiliate program. What I found out is that you can have 100 webmasters selling and only 4 know what the fuck they are doing. My site has always, always had high retention. That was another plus point, in addition because I email and ICQ members giving tips and just chatting. It gives them that cool secret club house feeling.
So a pal of mine who is huge in japanese toons got hold of me last week and he's hooking me up big time. I have no choice but to start a paysite/affiliate program.
