Does your biz model rely on recurring billing?
 

What will happen when it ends?
Do you think it will end with 3rd party processing first or merchant account?

The day it happens some people will make instant CASH. SO much traffic to be had if you can process and payout a decent amount to affiliates.

I think once the recurring model stops , affilate payouts will drop like lead balloons.

I agree 100%

It will cost, but the sky will not fall. I had a backup processor a while back that could only take a 1 month subscription, and a fair number of people just joined again and again. Not every month always but I would get 7 or 8 signups a year from the same guy.

I figure if recurring stopped being offered I would loose some but but not that much, maybe raise prices a bit to compensate.

For crap sites with a business model based on hoping you forgot you joined, it would be another story.

What makes you think it will stop? Adult is far from the only ones using that model-AOL, Netflix, AAA, just to name a few off the top of my head...

yes, that would be horrible for affiliates

lets say you make 10 sales daily, that's like 10k per month

if recurring stopped, then the affiliaste payout would be reduced from $35 to $10 and you would suddenly make $3k per month :Oh crap

Business as usual for now.......

No.

It relies on volume of traffic.

Recurring billing will never end, it will 'evolve'.

haha just affiliate payouts?

This WHOLE industry as we know it will change. Nothing will be the same
since this whole business is built on recurring.

Even GFY will become a business board with a modest amount of active
users talking serious threads only in less than a year afterwards.

It will be the biggest wipeout weve ever seen and i hope it will start soon!!!

Excellent point.

Funny thing, there was an entry about this at http://justtraffic.blogspot.com

that will be ahuge loss for entire porn industry
