ahh, but who wants to have a small pay site, you wan i tot grow and nothing is worse then having your site on a server that crashes from the hits or like on a windoze server and getting that stupid error that to many people are currently on it.
size does matter... I know :)

lol true. yo where u from?

If you are competent with a computer moving from a server to another shouldn't be a problem ... you can also use load balence etc etc ... lots of ways to go arround a bandwith peak... normally you don't go from A to Z in a single day anyways ;)

Couple hundread bucks a month to start up with is more then enough...

Took me a while, but I finally figured out his domain. 35% is SoLow

I really got curious about this thread after it hit the 3rd page. Just looking at the title and reading the first page I thought it was a joke too. You've stated that you're new to the biz, but at least savvy enough to put together a paysite (which I assume is a full funtional paysite) complete with processing. You've even gone as far as thinking about a partner program. But when people as you for standard promotional material like a FHG (free hosted gallery), you have no idea what it is.

So I'm not 100% sure this isn't a joke, but what the hell.

There's all kinds of issues in this thread so far. I'm glad to see you've calmed down and accepted some constructive critiques of your program and site. It was pretty quick to see that low balling potential partners and belittling them for asking for the industry standard payout wasn't the correct route to go. Especially for a site with little content and not alot of positive marketing points.

With a site like this chances are that affilliates are going to be your bread and butter. Unless you're a web guru of some sort, you'll learn a valuable lesson that marketing is the hardest part of this and any other business. Honestly, if you get more than 1 or 2 sign ups a day I'd be surprised. I hope for your sake I'm wrong. How were you planning on getting people to see the site anyways?

I would suggest you add some additional promo materials to your partner program and really go out of your way to attract affilliates to your program. Provide good customer service to both your affilliates and members. Since the site and program are new, make sure you keep the site fresh with new content so your members want to stay and your partners get as many rebills as possible. Maybe join a few affilliate programs to see what other companies are offering. Join ours if you want.

If all else fails try selling of content or rebrand and relaunch the site. But don't jump the gun to make changes right away. Chances are it will not be an overnight success. Just learn more about marketing your site and stick with it.

Good luck to you.

P.S. What the hell is the "W" in soloWteens.com? I'm baffled.

i think it's meant to be


so low teens

Wow! It's been a long time since I have seen someone torched like this! Does he have a point or not concerning his overall expenses versus his payout and his bottom line?
How many of us have actually started a paysite? What about being shaved, would you rather work hard thinking you're getting 50% when in reality it's more like 35%-40%, or would you rather get a true 35%-40% knowing that there is no shaving?
Now we covered this in one of the shows way back when - most said they would rather get paid honestly.... has this gone out the door? Is this like everything else in the world that is being priced out of the market?

Jeez guy ... there you don't know what you're talking about. Most paysites can push couple sales ... with a dozen sales a day, the dude should be able to make a good living and cover his expenses. Underpromoted amateur stuff do good.

The rest is all bonus... at 50/50, you'd have to be really dumb not to get into your money when having a good ammount of affiliates.

P.S. 50/50 have been an industry standard for ever...
