Affiliate Program Question?

[DLDenham]

How can affiliates offer more money per sign up ($30 -35) the a monthly membership fee.

Exp: Earn $25 - $30 per trial membership sign!

AND

What is the typical payout that makes you (webmasters) join an affiliate program....

*Dollar amount per sign up!
*Percentage of membership fees!
*Something else...

Thanks for your help

i know some may differ, but its not the payout for me ... its their content. If the program has something i'd like to promote then i signup.

you should join an affiliate program if you think they have the following
-nice quality content
-sites are converting
-FHGs are good

If it's per sale, you need to care if the tour / galleries look like they
will convert.

If it's revshare, you also need to know (or guess) whether the members area has the quality and update frequency to get you recurring.

They'll pay $30 to you on a $4.95 trial because they've run the math to know how many of the trial members will upgrade to full, or stay for a few months, or get a cross-sale.... whatver it takes for them to make a profit.
