Lets calculate how much investment its needed to make a affiliate program! - GoFuckYourself.com

xlogger · 02-02-2006, 05:45 PM

A descent aff program. Start small and built up, that's my motto!

Design 3 good site: $2400
Cbill: $700
Nats: $500+$1000 = $1500 / $125/m
(although i prefer mpa3 because they have less clients and i think i will get more attenction this way)
Content: $2000
Hosting: 100mbps = $1000/m
------------------
Total: $7600

Im not an expert but i *think* you can do it with $7600. Yes / No?

BlueWire · 02-02-2006, 05:48 PM

You are assuming that the first sites you have built convert and start converting immediately to make you profitable on a month to month basis.

I would want a higher number than that

being the only one who promotes it = priceless

boner 2.0 · 02-02-2006, 05:49 PM

2000$ in content? non exclusive?

sonofsam · 02-02-2006, 05:49 PM

Incorporation?
Traffic?
Hidden expenses?

lol, you know what most new aff programs do? They copy the look of other good converting sites - it usually works. Hey, like i said im not an expert.

High Plains Drifter · 02-02-2006, 05:50 PM

There's something a little backwards about the design costing more than the content.

Anna_O · 02-02-2006, 05:54 PM

Lol @ PA

Who do you think will design 3 good converting sites plus members areas for $2400? And only $2000 worth of content for 3 sites?

EdgeXXX · 02-02-2006, 05:55 PM

You could get it done for far less than that, just depends on how much you do yourself and how much you pay have done.

$7600 for a very crappy aff program with non-exclusive cookie cutter sites.

A "decent" aff program would cost much more.

xlogger · 02-02-2006, 05:59 PM

Anyways, we will see how much it will cost. Give me a couple of months!

Moose · 02-02-2006, 06:00 PM

You left out way to much

And 100 mbps for $1000 for hosting an aff program ?

all I can say is, DONT DO IT

you will fail miserably

Well, when you small that is what people do. Try to save $. Plus i dont fell i should pay more than i have to. Why should i? More means better?

aflex · 02-02-2006, 06:08 PM

might sound cheap with those very LOW numbers.. but before even attempting a program, have your own traffic sources so you don't have to exclusively depend on webmasters to promote your paysite thats filled with non-exclusive content.

xlogger · 02-02-2006, 06:10 PM

I have 50k/day p2p traffic and 20k/day website traffic. Thats enough?

MrIzzz · 02-02-2006, 06:11 PM

unless you first have a GOOD traffic source of your own its all useless

edit...i didnt see the traffic part

JamesK2 · 02-02-2006, 06:12 PM

You start off with a 100mbit? You won't burn even half of it the first month.

Reak AGV · 02-02-2006, 06:15 PM

That's very poorly done research, even a mistake in it

Ray@TastyDollars · 02-02-2006, 06:24 PM

Fuck, I must be doing something wrong cause we are way past 100K and we are no where near finished.

damnnnnnn

I was thinking you know, if it failed i could just forget about the 7k and just do what i was doing. If i invest almost all my $ and then if it fails...

If it takes off then i could put more $ into it...

ozmatt · 02-02-2006, 06:25 PM

incorporation

banners, galleries, marketing material

scripts, content management system

advertising?

lots of other little bits and pieces that just all adds up

Then going alone and not having affiliates you *might* be able to do it, but highly doubt you will be succesful with what you described.I have seen hundreds of newbie webmasters just like you get squashed attempting this over the years.
You start adding affiliates your costs will rise dramatically, one server isn't going to cut it. Add into your hosting costs alone, support, programmers, backup systems (you dont want all your affiliate info and your whole business relying on one server) your hosting/support costs alone will MINIMUM be triple that.Then add in marketing to get those affiliates (thousands). And all the other goodies you have to do nowadays to compete in the affiliate game (free hosting,FHG's, etc...)
I left out alot of other stuff, but maybe you get the picture.

yeah man, do a small little niche site and have fun with it ;-)

slapass · 02-02-2006, 06:31 PM

Aren't you missing some stuff?

FHG's
Pennywise or security software for members area.
Members area software
You need more content
Feeds for more content
Video and image editing
staff
marketing of affiliate program - skin here etc
hosting for affilaites
banners fpa etc

I do not have a program but I am sure there is more.

Oops biggy $$$ cash to cover an incentive to get affiliates. PPS needs cash to fire up too.

Edit - Domains, legal, banking and other stuff dealing setting up a corporation.

Nismo · 02-02-2006, 06:31 PM

$7600? LOL!

Here's a guesstimate from me on some expendatures...
server - $500/month
ccbill or epoch - $750
NATS - $ not sure
Design per paysite - $1000-2500 (depending on who you use)
Content per paysite - $5000-25,000 (depending on what type, whether or not its exclusive, video/pic, plugins, etc.)
Scripts - $ depends...
Advertising tools (FHG's, banners, buttons, etc.) - $ few K atleast.
Advertising costs - $ totally up to you

WAY more than $7600...

Now you hit the nail in the head, this is beyond ridiculous, this guy should better program some kind of content stealing program like Guba or that kind of crap instead of wasting $2000 for a site that will never ever rebill

To be honest the fact that you failed math proves you will fail on this project ... but you can invest 7k into my program and be a 10% partner the first year of sales...

we have put in over 120k for 6 sites, EXCLUSIVE content, programing, staff, all the cost of start up capital and overhead... the sites have paid for the bills over the last 2 years... and starting our program will now bring profit into the network of sites we run... we are starting the program to double or triple out numbers we have made on our own ... without math you will never know what your investment will bring you

Lev · 02-02-2006, 06:53 PM

you need at least 15-20k to spend on content to make a good members section

QualityMpegs · 02-02-2006, 06:58 PM

Jesus...didn't realize design costs were that extensive. I don't understand why people can't just do that themselves initially if they are trying to cut costs? Does noone have any design skills anymore? I mean damn, look at all these sites nowadays. All they consist of are a header/footer/nice buttons and a basic ass template stolen from another site...and text of course. Easy.

not trying to pick apart Nismo here but just from my experience:

Quote:

that's about right

Quote:

ccbill or epoch - $750

or you can go non-visa on ccbill for free to start and still get some decent signups. I think it's safe to say that most americans have both visa and mastercard and will use MC if visa isn't available. there are third party systems that do not charge visa fees if you know who to ask (I'm not telling so don't ask me).

Quote:

NATS - $ not sure

always a nice option but not aboslutely needed to start with. ccbill will give you everything you need for free.

Quote:

Design per paysite - $1000-2500 (depending on who you use)

or do it yourself for free if you have basic photoshop skills.

Quote:

Content per paysite - $5000-25,000 (depending on what type, whether or not its exclusive, video/pic, plugins, etc.)

$2000 of cheap content will get you a site with more content than probably 90% of the sites on the web. the site won't rebill very well however with so little content.

Quote:

Advertising tools (FHG's, banners, buttons, etc.) - $ few K atleast.

again it depends if he can do any of this himself.

Quote:

Advertising costs - $ totally up to you
WAY more than $7600...

monthly server fees and a couple/few grand in content is really all that's needed for a bare bones startup. forget about getting any decent affiliates like that (which is the thread title) however it can be pretty cheap to start up a site.

it'd cost a ton more to get it to a point that it would attract affiliates in most instances, although some of these non-nude sites with exclusive content are little more than the example I've given above with an amateur 18 year old model doing a shoot for $200/day.
