re-post for all lazy bums!

Oprano's Exclusive
(haven't seen it anywhere before)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The other day somebody asked:
"How come the processors report record sales and webmasters cry about decreasing sales"

how is it possible??

I think I have a partial answer to that,
came from one of RB's members:


>*** WE WANT YOU BACK !!! ***

>Previously, you were a member of one of our
>adult entertainment sites.
>
>During that time you had access to ONE site.
>Now, for less money than you paid for that one
>site, you'll have a membership to 41 full sites,
>including that first site that you joined.
>
>Visit this web page for details:

href="http://www.maximumcash.com/cgi-bin/maxcash.cgi?id=I'mNOT_TELLING

how is the hell can webmasters make money when their sponsors begin competing with them and sell memberships for LESS than what webmasters sell????

This is one fuck up THIS COUNTRY never seen,
try buy car direct from General Motors by-passing the distributor!

I see this as yet another trust violated by the sponsor.

shame...shame...

Very disturbing. I have been in several lines of business; and in all of them, our suppliers went to great lengths to avoid competing with us. Frankly, this sucks!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I think this just shows what lenghts the "big boys" will go to to keep the $$$ rolling in.

With the worth of a member dropping lately and conversiong being almost 1/2 of what they used to the big program operators are trying to keep the per join $$ where it used to be.....just not going to happen.

Torone,
my feelings EXACTLY,
and what disturbs me the most,
it's REALLY sad when once "leaders of the community"
start "pushing the envelope" more, and more, and more,
and do things they would NEVER even concieve 2-3 years ago...

what's NEXT for our once "beloved leaders"?
will webmaster find out AFTER the dick is in full thrust and deep inside the ass????

meni, JJ isn't a good bs artist, too honest. She came on with the idea to float the idea that maybe her and Rodman might have something going on but she didn't have her heart in it and folded when Howard starting axing questions.

And JJ's voice is getting lower. Not as bad as in Vegas. Does she smoke?

I like Jenna, i'm not attacking her, just noticing her voice is changing.

i gotta go look at Kitty's feeds.

Thanks guys for all your support!

In all honesty I musn't take credit for it.
My partner (who as always shall remaain anonymous) did it along with help from all the best guys out there right now.

It took us 8 mnonths just to set it up - working 20 + hours aa day - battling OZ telephone companies and dealing with sooooo many hassles.
Never seeing each other and being very stressed abou t it.
Maybe now we can sit back and retire!!!

Lots of big news today, most of it tragic - but what is going under-reported is that the taliban has fled from Kabul.

This seems like an interesting twist, maybe they are setting up an ambush?

I think more then likely, they are going to hide in the mountains and try and fight a guerilla war.

It seems like they were all bunking out of town before dawn... too bad we could not turn that road into another "Highway of Death" like we did the IRaqi soldier leaving Kuwait city!

fatbaby,
you answered one question, so I have another.

Oprano is ad broker (affiliate) for
Webfather's board,
we sell advertising on it and get paid comissions.

can you concieve Webfather going behind Oprano's back and selling
ads direct to the people he knows as well as I do
(some even better)?
we don't have written contracts, we even ddin't have a handshake on the deal
(we were 1200 miles apart when it all started, phone call was it all it took)

can you?????

I'm not trying to pile on maxcash. They've always run a solid program. That being said, I'll go back to my Schwinn example earlier. Once the dealer sells you a bike does Schwinn try to take all future sales away from their distributors by undercutting them? I don't think so. They may send you promotional material but it will be designed to get you back to the dealer.

than I have a multiple choice for you:

if this all so fucking cool and ingenious,
1) how come MaxCash NEVER done anything like it before FTC? when RB was a King of the Hill?

Serge,

Well you are right. This is the type of thing, even though I think there is nothing wrong with it, that you don't exactly want to make public because i'm sure there are webmasters who would agree with you and take their biz elsewhere.

Serge, I didn't like RB's comment about 'percieved value' of this board either. But I do think Maxcash is as reputable as any program on th adult Net.

how is the hell can webmasters make money when their sponsors begin competing with them and sell memberships for LESS than what webmasters sell????

1) very easy, it helps sales and webmasters come up as a winner

2) very hard, but webmaster still come up as a winner, because RB loves webmaster

3) who cares? some people equal
LOVE to FUCK as both lead to the same result

I can think of more questions, LMK if my help needed

I agree with Sharkey also.. we are talking about a pay per signup program here... They paid me for that signup once, now its their job to retain that sufer as long as possible, so they can pay me for the next one, even if that one is only a trial...

NOW.. if we were talking rev share, there would be a different viewpoint shared! ;-)

Mutt,
one small question to you....
if Maxcash thought it is OK,
how come none of their reps
http://pics.sinfulmale.com/mcnews/staff2.gif
said anything about it?

if you can find me ANYWHERE on ANY board their reps talking about this "new innitiative"
-I'll buy your argument.

do you think it's a coincedense that the mailer been sent while webmasters party in Las Vegas?

what would Drudge Report say?

good debate. I'd like to put a poll on OpranoPlus about it but not sure how to word it.

Right now, I am siding with Maxcash, I think they have already paid the webmaster/salesman for his work and what happens after is their business.

But i do see Serge's points.

Serge...

I never said "fuck the salesman."

The key thing here is what was the agreement in the beginning?
If I run a webmaster program, should I be able to have freesites of my own and send traffic to them?

Hold your thoughts.. I'm going home for the evening.. we'll talk tomorrow:-)

"do you have comission sales force? "

No. I don't.


Serge, My point in posting to you is that MANY companies(adult and non-adult) contact their customers and former customers to try and upsell them or get their business back. They do this by offering incentives... a discounted membership ... a shirt ... a chance at a trip to hawaii, etc.

Albeit this doesn't apply to every industry. Your talk about being offered 41 cars for the price of one is example. It's more economical to offer a 41 site for 1 price $40 membership than it is to offer 41 cars for the price of one.

However.. I was offered a BIG discount on a new expedition near the end of my lease. I doubt the salesman who sold me the first one got credit for the 2nd one....

Now, I am not posting on behalf of Maxcash, these are my own opinions.

When a webmaster sends a member/signup to a sponsor, they get paid for that signup. they don't get paid for any of the upsells in the members area or any other source of income from that member. Many paysites have cross-sells within their members area to try and convince members to sign up to more than one site. Their is nothing wrong with that in my book.

You are coming from the mindset that a webmaster could in turn send that same surfer (even a few months later) to another paysite of that sponsor and they will sign up. That COULD happen, but why shouldn't the sponsor have the right to solicit future business from someone they have already paid for? Your thoughts would work if we were talking about a partbership program like a 50/50 or 60/40.... but not a a pay per signup program.

am I wrong?

Ulfie,
I drink Swanson Merlot...

$29.995 retail.

guess how much discount you can get
buying direct from Winery????

NONE!!!!

it's a taboo to undercut your distributors and retailers, BIG TABOO!

I don't know anybody besides MaxCash who is doing it,
on the net and off the net.

I guess MaxCash webmaster is just VERY SPECIAL....

Mutt, playboy is more concerned about protecting their precious image than making money. Why do you think hustler is kicking their ass?

I've gotta agree with Serge. When you sell through a distributor network it is suicide to undercut your distributors. I just went to http://www.schwinn.com/ , can you buy a bike there. NO, because they sell through their distributors and they would go nuts if Schwinn started undercutting them.

i missed posting this story about Playboy's financial future last week.
They have 96,000 members to their paysite. They are still losing 15 million dollars a year on the Web.
How?

Has Playboy ever put out any feelers to anybody in the adult web community? Do they think they are above the rest of the Net porners?

Playboy is on the right track, they bought 3 hardcore porn TV channels. I would buy this stock. Good future. They just have to start making money online. Somebody needs to show them the way.
