Now that have your attention...

Which do you usually preffer, per sign up or reoccuring revenue?

I know reoccuring gets you more in the long run but per sign up seems better if you need fast cash.

Any thoughts?

Re: $$$$$$
 

I personally preffer the programs which:
1) shave the least
2) underexposed
3) niche
4) people I know
5) programs which the owners present on the boards and at the shows
6) programs which use more than one processor, the ones which use their own Merchant acount are preffered

I used to be mainly pay per signup but I did take on a few revshare sponsors, which has been good seeing though I'm still getting cheques and I've sent them nothing for about 9 months.

Both have their advatages but if you want to grow your business faster and have more leverage with your money PPS is the far better option. You should ALWAYS have some of both though in my opinion though.

With PPS you can use that greater amount of up front money to much greater effect right away than you can with revshare. It's a basic economic principle. How many times do you see a big lottery winner go with the yearly option over the lump sum?

Here's a little explanation of this concept..

Time Value of Money
Is a dollar always worth a dollar? OK, you sly fox - you caught us, it's a trick question! And you guessed it - a dollar is not always worth a dollar. Sometimes a dollar is only worth 80 cents, and sometimes it is worth $1.20. (Say! You give us your dollars worth $1.20, and we'll give you ours worth $0.80, in an even trade! Have we got a deal?)

But let's think about this. How can it be? The value of a dollar changes dramatically depending on when you can take control of the dollar and invest it. The critical variable in the exact value of a dollar is time.

If someone owes you a dollar, do you want him to pay you today or next year? (Yes! Another trick question! The answer is, "Today.") With inflation consistently destroying the purchasing power of a dollar, a year from now a dollar will be worth slightly less than it is today. "Inflation" is an economic term used to describe the gradual tendency of prices to rise over time. If inflation is 2% per year, that means that prices, on average, will rise 2% over the next year, which in turn means that your dollar can purchase 2 cents less in a year than it can today. That's right, all you mathematicians out there - with 2% inflation, a dollar today is worth only 98 cents in a year.

However, if you got the dollar back today, you could invest it. If you invested it (along with a few of its cousins, we hope) in the stock market, and your investment returned 10% over the course of the year (which is somewhat less than the market average has historically returned), then you'd have $1.10 at the end of the year. So your money would be growing instead of shrinking, and you'd be staving off the negative effects of inflation.

Good post :)

All the above being equal its gotta be PPS.

Recurring is usually given by programs not capitalised well enough to PPS.

As a traffic person my job is to get the initial sale.

I do not want to trust that the program retains better etc etc....

I do not want to trust that there processing will be around in 3 mths.

The payperminute model however may be different
