There are many factors involved in programs paying the high rate per sign up they do now. These factors include
$39.99 monthly charges 2 FREE cross sells per page rebilling at $30 to $40 / mo there are other factors as well but its these factors in specific I would like to address. Chargebacks occur for a number of reasons but a lot have to do with very high monthly charges. Obviously these prices bring in more money which allows a much higher payout. In an effort to reduce chargebacks, free cross sells will become single micro $1 payments that rebill at a much lesser rate. Much more importantly monthly rates must drop from the rate of $39.99 to $29.99 Obviously this will drastically hit the top of line of many sponsors (those who choose to take the path of 'correcting' some of the problems in the industry. Because of this cut in revenue payouts of $35 and $40 per trial will no longer exist (again for that group of sponsors who attempt to make the proper changes) Payout will drop below the $30 range. Also FREE trials (which ARS recently began offering) will no longer exist. These changes will take place in the coming days. Webmasters use this post as for warning of things to come. Sponsors use this post as a support for you to follow the necessary trends to correct an escalating problem over the last few years. Its time to fall in line or its time to fall out! |

Marc, I agree. Frees are gone, because they do not count as a transaction toward the 1%. Going to see alot more $1 trials. #'s game that can be managed, but going to be tough and some will not make it for sure.
$30 seems to be where people think trials will settle, I am still running #'s. Will also be interesting to see where CCBILL and Jettis stand on these issues and they will soon follow epochs lead and announce changes.

As a webmaster, I certainly don't want to see lower payouts, but as a mortgage holder, I'd rather take lower payouts for a longer period time. Longevity is a good thing.
Good posts from Marc and LAMike. |

Free trials have always been a bad idea. They have been abused, as well as the cross sales. We have brought this upon ourselves.
I am very EXCITED about these changes. One reason PureCash has not launched on time was due to the changes that were coming down. We wanted to make sure that we have the right business model built in, and not try to build on the old model that is being put to sleep. I think in the long run this will make the industry much more stable. We have enjoyed a drunken orgy of $45 payouts on free trials... reality looks like it is finally setting in. |

Nick I was thinking about something similair, but not shipping porn.
Selling something else that is nominal, hat, t-shirt, whatever and with every purchase get a few id/password to a website. You could do re-occuring and send out new t-shirt, hat, every month. |

I have a friend who's getting out of the telemarketing biz who used to offer travel certs as promo incentives. The travel agencies he worked with practically gave them away to him. Very low acquisition cost and could be some intersting upsells. (Anyone here a travel agency? ;-)) I know we used to give away Hawaii certs and the owners of the company got kickbacks from travel agents, who in turn got kickbacks from certain hotels and so on.....

I also think dialers are going to play a larger future in this business than alot of people think.
Lets also not forget checks.
