Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I only got 1 email to any of my boxes and it was well enough written to have actually gotten read last night and did not get immediately tossed
Well you dominated the front page of the GFY's chat board for more than 24hrs and the topic wasn't about the longest hair you ever seen on your testicle measured by the metric system ..... that is impressive.
Now CJ, how do my current members get in on the action of this shared resource? Do they have to go through swoit.com or do you have a system for that? I wouldn't mind paying $10 per customer's monthly access fee to access that system & I'm sure their are THOUSANDS of paysites that wouldn't mind either.
A lot more webmaster's now know the name swoit.com
Meatloaf, that's not an angle that has been thought of yet ...
The long answer would be that you can promote the site to your cancelling members as an affiliate ... i say cancelling members because in your case your own paysites are probably the main revenue stream for you, swoit would be more of a bonus or addition to your existing business model ... so you don't want your members to cancel from your site when they see this.
I think its a good product for cancelling members (in the confirmation email, add an advertisement), decline pages, and anywhere that you can find surfers who have already been a member of a paysite ... i think these are the type of members that will recur the most, so if you are an affiliate as well as plugging in your members areas, you make money for minutes plus $15 recurring per month ...
but ... your suggestion brings up a new idea that will definately get some discussion ;-)
While you have their ear, can you ask them if they can package the same product as an upsell/cross sell. say $1.95 trial - $regular membership rate recurring 50/50 rev-share
If they use ccbill/ibill/epoch then they should try to package that as an offer.
The product idea looks good, but I'm trying to work out how much it would cost the average webmaster. Like the old days with ACGOLD, people would put a good site together & surfers would spend 30mins on that site instead of the normal 3 mintues, meaning that webmaster was spending a lot more on b/w then his competitor and getting no real benefit.

This has been a popular concern so far ... is the cost of the bandwidth going to be covered by the payouts ...
I'll bring stats for my own sites as soon as there's some data there to share ... hopefully it makes me money!

you wouldn't know the company's name as they haven't had much to do with this side of the biz.
they had pennywize a few years ago, and have done the tech backends for a bunch of programs, including sexhit, and intergal since day 1.
sorry i can't provide home addresses and social security numbers ...
Is it Steve?

Hahahahahahahaha, you think he could do better?
Mistakes and fuckups happen all the time with mail. Hell, I know of one group that sent to various US goverment agencies for years and didn't know a damn thing about it.

Thanks for the big ups Forest, but I know next to nothing about email.
One day maybe someday someone might explain to me how to use Proxies to send mail and what I need to do to bypass brightmail et al.

Feel free to come see me Pete. I always enjoy seeing friends. I hope you won't have a problem at the border, since there seems to be a large anti canadian sentiment up there.
Hit me up anytime you are down here. I'm not hard to find.
