How do I choose PPS vs. Revshare when working with a program?
I am quoting this from Marc's site hoes.com I have nothing to ad, just perfect and so fuckign true.
"How do I choose PPS vs. Revshare when working with a program?
This is one of the most important decisions you can make when working with an affiliate program. Programs market both of them as typically being equals. You'll usually see $30 per signup or 60% recurring. They are not equal by any means and to make a sound decision you need to look at the sponsor you are working with.
When I first signup with a program, I take a good look at some of the sites they are offering for promotion. Is the content unique, are they selling it well, DOES IT UPDATE OFTEN? Yes, I CAPPED that last point. Lastly, look at the join page. What do they charge? Is it your typical $20-30 per month? Or is it some insane $39.95 a month? Do they offer a trial that recurs to some insane amount? Fill out the initial form and take a look at the processor's form. Are they cross-selling? Meaning, do you see checkboxes toward the bottom that say "also give me a membership to XXX for $XXX, recurring at $XXXX.
The reason I look at all of this things is simple. If the sites I'm pushing in the program are high quality, offer a good value and look like the type of site that will hold on to a member, I will choose revshare. If the program is one of those cookie-cutter programs, with a ton of niches and no really good site in the mix, I choose PPS. I've found that the cookie-cutter programs typically have poor member areas and don't hold on to their members very well. They also typically charge a higher rate and utilize cross-sells. Not all of them do, but alot.
Moral of the story. Don't be fooled by the notion of the QUICK BUCK. Pay Per Signup programs have their place in adult, but it's not always the best option. Be patient, push quality programs with quality sites and look ahead 6 months. I guarantee you will have made more money in that 6 months than if you had just settled for the immediate cash every time. Mix things up. Don't do the same thing for every program. You can't be lazy in this business if you want to succeed.
