Vote: would you become an affiliate?
 

Would you consider being an affiliate for a new program that offered mostly non exclusive content?

Assume they have a ton of great features for members and the site is very well designed and converts relatively well.

Would you ever consider joining as an affiliate?

you should try this again and add a poll.....


Edit: there it is :)

yeah for some reason the post gets made first and then the poll come up... making me look like a fool:upsidedow

Are you thinking of opening a new affiliate program??

Sure... as long as it is not a teen site or something COMMON! It has to be original

I've got some stuff in the works

sure, but if it isn't exclusive there has to be a TON of content

having a ton of content can outweigh it not being exclusive

hell, 70-80% of the exclusive sites out there barely update, so having a content update every day of non-exclusive is better IMO

Bump for a few extra votes to make this thing more statistically significant :]

PPS yes, rev no

Absolutely. There are heaps of quality sites out there without exclusive content. Particularly when it comes to VOD. Video Box, XMovies, etc. But there's plenty of regular subscription sites out there with non-exclusive content that convert very well.

ok here a bump

yeah sure
all-excluse content is not quite a standart yet

the most of the paysites are mostly non-exclusive

Just took a bath, took a pill and opened two redbulls so I can finally reply something, without being so frustrated that I'd rather go break the keyboard.


So, honestly, what's the point in another yet program? Don't get fooled by the poll results here, I can assure you that if you're going to be announcing your new mage-porno-cash-bucks.com one month from now as rapmaster, you'll get 30 "congrats, looks good" replies and that's it. Then you'll realize that hardly anyone wil promote you. Why would they promote you, if there are literally hundreds of other programs already?

Do a search for my thread "FACT: there are too many affiliate programs already" or for the recent thread started by sonofsam, where he describes his failure in what he thought would be his best way to riches.

Good luck though!

depends on the content.

rapmaster, what polish_aristocrat said is true for the most part. You CAN open up your site & program with mostly non-exclusive content & you CAN even become successful with it - a good example is Twistys.com.

What you need is TRAFFIC ! Now if you can generate most of it on your own - good. If you have the money to invest in the traffic - good. The thing is don't depend on making it SOLELY on affiliates.

Fact is though, that even if you have exclusive content - if you don't have your own traffic sources to start, it's going to be rough getting affiliates to promote you with a Revshare option *unless, of course, it's the newest craze/fad/innovative porn idea*

Thanks for the votes replies

And whether or not anything is being started isn't really the big question here. If I were to create a program it would be really small, just a few good webmasters to test how lucrative such a program would be. I've got a marketing plan and the affiliate section is only a small part of it. A lucrative one though.

I'm just interested in knowing where people stand. Obviously nobody wants to promote a site that's unoriginal and lame, and I wouldn't expect people to necessarily flock to a new site anyway (it's not like I have 15 PS3s to give away a week... yet).
