Great news for those promoting ARS BYOTS
 

Just read this on their message board :
By the end of march they will be switching to a new system (BYOTII), and all current byots will be deleted. The new BYOT's will be without a trial option.

Nice:thumbsup

There are going to be a lot of niche tours up for grabs soon to the sponsor with the right byot program...

60 days until they pull the plug so get to work :thumbsup

GAY EBONY converts better than 1:60

You guys should definitely fill up that niche with BYOT tours.

I am following their message board regularly, but cannot see that info there.
What thread are you referring to?

I mean, i know about BYOT 2 coming soon, but I don;t see any info about current BYOt's being deleted and especially about BYOT's being no-trial sites in future.

Are there other sponsors besides Epic Cash with a Byot program, My byots are build with my own content and as far as I know Epic Cash byots have to be designed with provided content only.

Here ya go BYOT Board

The second post in Byot Support/Discussion, I quote :

BYOT II will be launched end of March.

BYOT II will not require the purchasing of any content and all will be given to you.

BYOT II will allow both public and private tour / sites to be made.

BYOT II will have a revshare and per sign up program.

BYOT II will not have a trial.

BYOT II tours will be approved within 72 hours of submission.

------------------------------------------

Now, to answer some questions about existing BYOTs.

We stopped taking applications because we will no longer be using this model. Unfortunately, that does mean that all existing tours will not be usable. However, the good news is, if you did spend money on existing tours, you will NOT have to buy content in the future. It will all be given to you. Also, if you jump on the bandwagon early you will be amoung the first tours which will be listed first and will get the early traffic.

We apologize for making these changes, they were very difficult decisions. We made them with the best long term viability of the BYOT program and its participating / designing webmasters in mind.

All sites currently in the que should be approved but you'll only have 60 days of possible promotion on it.

As far as I know, there aren't any besides ARS and EC. It's ashamed too, great way for designers to make a little money on the side. It would be on and poppin' if EC could let us design our own BYOT pertaining to the niche. Or at least have the capability of creating new tours as well as their members area for their portfolio.
