Free swag, Xmas presents - what level do you need to be at?
 

How much do you need to make with a company before they start sending gifts lol?

Quite a bit I would imagine. I've worked in adult for about 15 years, and I've gotten a box of chocolates from someone, and some leather notepad thing from yappodollars.com (not counting those bags you get at shows sometimes)

Thanks for the reply bro!

Paging Sarretth or however you spell his name! I heard about his chaturbate gifts!

I do $XXXX from LJ in two weeks. I wonder when they consider me a playa? Maybe 14k?

I know I could buy my own present lol, but I guess I gotta keep going. :)

I have no idea what you have heard, I don't think I ran around bragging on them beyond posting a thank you.

I have received 2 very nice gifts from Chaturbate across the 4 years that I have actively been promoting them.

Across that time I have sent them $340k worth of sales that I know of. I also sent them about 3000 free sign ups on pay per lead ($1.00 per) when I started. I don't know how much revenue that produced for them, I hope a lot because I want to see Chaturbate stay around for a good long time yet (knock on wood).

I know I am very far from a big shot with Chaturbate though, there are many that have sent much more than me. I am just stupid enough to talk about it, ya know ;p

.

Sales or commissions?

.

Commission paid to me. I promote Chaturbate almost as equally and I do okay with them, but LJ is a bigger earner for me personally.

Congrats on your gifts and success at Chaturbate! :pimp

sounds like a lot of traffic you send!

Curious to know, if you sent it elsewhere, would you make more or is the program perfect so you wouldn´t want to make more with other programs?

I got a free mouse from CR!

Back in 2001 you would get something nice for $10,000 in commission per year. At $25,000 you got something better. At $50,000 you might have been flown to Vegas for Internext and have been given a decent room and passes to the show. By 2004-2006 you would need $100,000 in commissions to get that level of treatment.

But back then there were also incentive programs already built into many different affiliate platforms. So Traffic Cash Gold gave you gold and you would use it to buy stuff in their affiliate store. Back in 2004 I used such things to get some very high end bikes for the kids, me and my wife. Got ipods for the kids. Got a poker table, chips, cards, etc...

These days? You need to hit perhaps $25,000 to $50,000 just to get some bullshit stuff from a sponsor. At the $100,000 level they might fly you somewhere close to meet them. But probably they will just send you a bunch of branded shit. Like you are really going to use a Chaturbate coffee mug around the house...

I spend around 8k a month on my phone bill and this is the first year since 2005 that they have sent me a gift for Christmas. I was shocked.

You know, they have unlimited plans now.

All those numbers will get you precisely fuck all these days lol. At least not with the sponsors I send to.

Recommendation? I almost left them, I was so close, but fixed their issue and dropped me to the lowest rate they ever have.

I often wondered this myself as I made a TON of money with so many programs over the years and received very little in terms of Christmas gifts.

We always gift our top publishers and those we work closely with.

if your making at least XX,XXX a month from a program you should for sure get some kind of swag or gift!

Ah... You are talking, talking. No. You aren't going to get a better rate most likely. Not without giving up service.

You're lucky to get paid nowadays so ...

Thanks for the replies. I have heavy faith in cams. Custom shows are always custom. They can be recorded but not the same. :)

Good luck everyone!
