Webcam, PPS vs Rev Share?
 

I have been promoting a webcam site that offers either $35 per sign up or 30% rev share for the life of the user. I usually promote the per sign up option, however the past month I have decided to try the rev share model. Here are my stats.

30 days
Sign ups: 201
Rev share: $1571, money still coming in each day,

If I would have selected the per sign up option I would have made $7035.

Any thoughts on this? Does anyone promote rev share over pps? Anyone have any numbers as far as life time value of a webcam user?

revshare should pay out more over the long term, within a year those members will be worth more than $35 each definitely

its all about how patient you are :)

this is economic question
rev share pay well in long therm.

We have affiliates that haven't signed up any new members within the last YEAR and still they are getting a fair amount of money every 2 weeks.

Revshare is the way to go.

thanks for the input, any idea what a member is worth over a years time?

maybe you could do some split testing.

PPS is better i think.
i tried revshare and after more than 1 year i'm now earning 3 times less than when i started promoting...

It comes down to your traffic source and if you can track earnings by customer username. Then you can do a split test on that known traffic source for a sample period like 4 months.

Its really is the traffic you send, send ppl who are CJ around the net, or send a guy via se traffic to your sponsor, the later will bring you in the long run more. CJ traffic i would go for PPS....

But sure it takes also a bit of luck, the right guy a good camgirl and she can drain his CC and when you then sit on rev . you make some longtime cash..

Well if you wanna go PPS try cams.com. They pay 105$ pps. or 20%. I've been trying a little of both and it's clear that the pps earns the most cash for me:) So that's what i'll be sticking with. But 35$ doesn't sound like much..

The only fear is will they be there for the revshare to pay off?

PPS is better...

What does the user have to do to trigger the $105? Is it a free or $1 sign up or do they need to purchase a block of minutes?

Usually a hight pay out like that is once you reach a number of sales. Or it it is for a short period of time. We are running a 60$ promo right now, for the rest of the week. And then have another promo comming up at the first of the month.

rev share is better than PPS ( only when rev share is " life time " ) :)

hey J Bizzle, hitting u up on icq!

It all depends on the sponsor and how "your" members orders are tracked. If it's just a cookie, how long does it last ? Many people delete them by default at the end of an online session, some sponsors let them expire after a certain time.

I tried around for months and it looks like very few members stay for a long time and spend alot of money. Lucky if you catch a whale, but it hardly makes up for all those guys that only spend the minimum ammount once to try livesex.

I was totally convinced that revshare is better for a long time, but at least for my traffic I was wrong, I'm making much more with PPS.
