If you run a service like StatsRemote there's a lot more than adding/updating sponsors which is already a lot of work.

I'm not saying that there isn't ANY work involved....I'm just looking at this from a business owner's point of view.
A full time programmer (or two) plus customer service reps to handle billing issues and dumb questions from members in order to bring in 30....60...maybe 90K a month in revenue is a pretty high margin business.
Maybe I'm underestimating the amount of staff you need but alot of this can be outsourced offshore as well.
You probably will have some serious competition in the future (although I doubt from the tool that started this thread)
Similar to all the people jumping on the affiliate software bandwagon lately. (MPA, NATS, Executive Stats + God knows how many others) |
