I just realized you said "new" sales. That puts a different perspective on it. I'm going to say 5-10. An example would be CE. I'd bet they are BILLING several thousand joins a day, but I'm not so sure they're doing 1000 NEW joins.

I could be wrong though......

Yeah , NEW joins.


Also "several thousand" ??

Like 5 or 6 thousand a day??

5000 @ say $40 = $200,000......

Naw.....

I remember The General Explaining to me about the "tail" too. Once.

In simple terms...you have 50,000 members.

You recur at 60%

No new members means next month you have 30,000 members.

To stand still , you need 700 new joins a day , best way.

Also the other thing to worry about with the tail..

Is 100,000 transactions per mth , 900 cb = happiness.

30,000 transactions a mth , 900 cbs = misery.

Can the "Old Time" big affiliate programs survive?



note - I fully accept I may be talking out of my ass here , its just that these discussions are coming up privately quite often.

So I thought I'd try and get some opinions
