Would affiliates go for this as a promo?
 

What ever they earn in payouts during the month of August we double in content to the value of.

We need a promo to kick it up and we could give out more money, but everyone does that and if we give out too much it means everyone and there brother joins and ruins it for most. But content is something I feel the better affiliates will have a good use for.

So what do you guys think.

$29.99 join earns you $18.00 in money and $18,00 in content.

Send 10 and it's $18.00 + $180.00

The content would come out of either of our stores. For the affiliate to use as the license allows.

Any affiliates here?

sounds like a good idea, but why even ask instead of just doing it? if affiliates don't go for it, you will just try something different next time....

Squeezing as much as I can from an idea?

I would go for that kind of deal.

Bonuses on top of your sales money are always nice.

So far it's been very positive.

free content on top of money doesnt sound too bad

I think it's a great idea,

ya that is a good deal, 2 sales would give you one set.

Might work for some folks might as well try it :)

have you ever made one fucking post on this board that wasent some form of spam?

just fucking one....

Paul... so they would receive credit towards the same content they're promoting?

Can you clarify please?

Sounds pretty good as long as the content isn't given out thousands of times.

Hey Paul-

I'm not promoting your sites yet, but I would if you did this promotion. It would be really nice.

I'd be all over this promo IF you weren't CCBill only.

Yes I did make one back in 2001, but maybe it was 2000. Not sure.

You see I don't come here for the socialising. Got a real life. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Do a search and find out loser. :321GFY

OK

They get 60% rev share or $25 for the PPS, these are base figures, big hitters get more. So thats the cash payout, same as normal.

For August we will add $20 worth of content for every sign up. It's easier this way than to match the $ amount.

So send 1 sign up and it's $18 rev share for August alone and $25 PPS. Plus $20 worth of content.

Send 10 sign ups and it's $180 rev share for August alone and $250 PPS. Plus $200 worth of content. No ceiling to the amount of signups you can send.

Make sense?

i think the only people who would go for this are people who already buy your content and already are promoting your site.

Sounds like a cool deal :pimp!

Then they will win big time. :winkwink:

I've looked at NATS and made the decision that for now we will stick with CCBILL.

They turn down very little and run the affiliates side. If we took on NATS there would be a saving of 4% on the processing and it is getting close to the time when we have to very seriously consider it.

But there are downsides to NATS, one being I will have to spend all days signing checks. LOL

seeing a test, to find a bench mark, to create value, so you should test it, like Lars said someone will use it....


and when your done test out XonDemand see sig...

go for it mr markham

just wondering, how would you save 4% on cc processing by switching to NATs?

content promo sounds like a good idea too

CCBILL charge 15%, would go via Webstream as our main processor at 11%

The affiliates will be mailed tomorrow telling them the details of the new promo.

why not go with NATS + check writing service?

there was a thread a few days ago about affiliate payment services..

or just have your accountant do it?

if you're making any money at all on the paysite side, seems like it wouldnt even be a question whether to take a 4% savings or not...

I like the idea .. what if you offered free hosting as well ?? That would leave zero overhead ?? just an idea ...

dropped you an icq with my idea :)

Not a bad idea :thumbsup

I an thinking very seriously of going the NETS route. got a lot of trips planned for the next few months and will look at it down the line.

I've looked at this and seriously starting to think it's better for us to offer a higher % than free hosting. We end up spending more on free surfers hosting than members in total. To get a few more sign ups from people who can't afford hosting.

It's a really good idea Paul, but whats the point in educating people about this?

Ya just created yourself competitors:(

Here is my view ... I have been submitting for years, I get listings on all the big tgps daily .. but it has to be on my domain www.xxx.com.. you have GREAT content and the site ( www.paulmarkhamteens.com ) to send it too ..
give me hosting and content zero overhead and you experience to sell.. I think it would pay off by far .. bandwidth is pretty cheap.. it may be worth a try ...

I don't mind educating people to do things better.

They will have to compete on more levels than giving the affiliates a freebie. What about the new content we put up every day and the level of content?

I've looked at this a couple of times and still feel that it's hardly cost effective.

Hosting for the "Tour and free surfers" costs a fortune, in BW and hardware, and from what I can see the return is minimal. Would we be better off giving affiliates more money and saying "Host it yourself" than hosting it and giving them 60%?

The fly in the ointment is 2257 and I think a lot of affiliates will need to think hard about hosting anything.

Free content to use however they want or only to promote your sites more with? Because, and correct me if I am wrong, don't most programs already give you free content in the form of, well, free content, and FHGs?

a great idea :)

So if we send you 2000 joins in the next few months we can start our own freeonesroaldteens.com ?

Free content for you to use as you please. The content given to you buy sponsors is not free, it's for you to use to send traffic to their site. They in effect own the traffic.

No that will require 2001 joins. :1orglaugh

Yes if you are building your own portfolio of content and know how to use it this is a great offer.

I like the idea. Not only would it give more incentive to the affiliate, it may also get you a few more long term paying customers of your content.

That would be better then no promo for sure ;) As an active affiliate, I'd love that !

Sounds like a nice deal. Let me know if you do it! :thumbsup

Lets say I'm a newbie.. And I have my own server .. How does the 2257 effect me ?? Does it fall on me as an affiliate ?? Just a question ;)
