Pierre,
Can I make a suggestion on your pricing?
Recur your 90 days and set as the default.
Change the $99 to $99.95

Lee,
I THINK we have a misunderstanding here.
Retention has nothing to do with showing two weeks of data. It is total net divided by members. Actually I am more looking at the value of each member. And even this is a conservative figure as the members are still renewing. i don't care what his last two weeks show. I am looking at the big picture.Originally Posted by Lee
LOL. Paying out 100% for one month, actually it's now even less. Is not PPS. He'a paying out one time non recurring 83% now, before it was 100% non recurring. There is no risk in that. A member has to stay past one billing cycle. Even if he converts to next billing cycle well below the norm, it's a win for him. Combine that with a site with exclusive videos, 2 live shows that I hear are packed, and exclusive pics. Maybe you are looking at your sites and their conversion to billing cyclye two. If he had a site like those in Condom cash, I would not advise him in this direction so easily. But with personal homepage with all exclusive content, its a no brainer. i ran one with and it was the best converting site I ever marketed or had. The live cam shows like his are the draw.Originally Posted by Lee
That is subjective as to my skill sets. And I do not treat everyone like they do. Far from it. IF I did I would have advised Max to borrow money and set up a good system. Insead what did I do? I spent time with him on aim, email, pm, offered simple advice, registered a domain for him, offered to buy his site with the members he claimed to have, emailed a company about a CMS that I wouldnt use to see if they have the features he wanted. I DID NOT FOR ONE MINUTE ASSUME HE HAS THE SKILL SETS I HAVE. I did see one thing that others didn't - he at least has a dream. And even through my frustration and sometimes unprofessional remarks, I will still help him. One step at a time. I have told some that maybe you should NOT launch your own paysite, that maybe an avs site is best and one actually did just that. I am one who has been doing this for years that currently does not officially have my own site. But I have lost in the works and maybe 6-10k feeder sites.Originally Posted by Lee
i gave an EXAMPLE of what the PPS was. Which many don't even know what it is on a techical level. And to be honest Lee one reason I gave that example was because of a remark that you in fact gave that was flat out wrong. You mentioned you may make a conversion of 1:100 if you put a crosell on your page. I am a silent partner in a PPS model. I make NO decisions whatsoever, but I am privy to the information and also privy to the information we trade traffic with. Crosells to a TRIAL convert in the range of 1:5 - 1:15. The worst day we ever did was 1:20. That is with epoch. When you mentioned if I can do 1:100, I felt that was very discouraging information. And as you said there are different webmasters here, Many who have benn in the business for years and dont have a site. MAYBE those webmasters are ready. They MAY have the skills from years of marketing other people's site, but just need something to strive for. Is introducing a new idea bad? They can lose their shirts just as easily by continuing to market other people's site on a % basis and then lose it all over nite if Ccbill or Epoch collapses. Look at DMR, Ibill, Probilling. At one time Ibill and DMR were darlings. Things happen fast.Originally Posted by Lee
We have a misundertanding here Lee. Firstly it's part my fault. I guess I never really left the business. I had five employess at one time. Two years ago I dropped to a one full time employee. He actually works maybe 60 hrs a week. He has been creating feeder sites, avs sites, and maintaing my last paysite. And while playing poker, I worked with him. Was a silent partner in an affiliate program, though not a decision maker. While on the poker "tour" I started a mainstream business model with ebay. Through that I developed "programs" that can be applied to the porn market. You mentioned I will begin to see. The fact is I HAVE SEEN HOW IT HAS CHANGED IN TWO YEARS. The projects that I am working on, all but one, are in fact being created because of this change and future changes. They all concern filtering traffic and increasing conversions. Data Mining is a HUGE part of these projects. ALL reflect the changes that have taken place. Those who have been privy to the information either via a NDA or a handshake have all said they don't know hwy they havent been done sooner and that they will be copied real soon when I launch them.Originally Posted by Lee
My other project Lee is simple - Foreskincash.com - 20+ PPS websites in a niche that is starving for quality uncut sites. With tools that will filter webmaster traffic like you wont believe.
This is so far from the truth. From those who have seen what I am doing, the industry will be in for an awakening. Especially if big players copy what I am doing. My paysites are a small percentage of what I am doing. The fact that I know the industry did not stand still is why I am back. And what i am coming back with is much more than anaffiliate program. That is maybe 10% of what I am doing.Originally Posted by Lee
As we will cookie cutter % programs that advertise multiple tours but when you sign up all you see is a tour that is no more than a cheap $200 half page ad and no second tour. Maybe multiple tours mean a half page ad and a join page. Look at Deviant cash, Posing strap, and countless other sites that were CCbill affiliates. Where are they now. it's funny that the only links I seem to have to change the most are the Partnership ones. they seem to disappear. The only PPS liks I had to chnge was ARS and we all know the story behind that. But damn even now they have a couple sweet BYOT tours.Originally Posted by Lee
Lee, I can put a program together and run it as either and make money. Based on my being in the biz since 1999, being involved with both types of affiliate programs, and owning both, I need to be where my confidence lies. And trust me, I know what the market has done in the last two years.Originally Posted by Lee
Questions I ask like "how do you make money on a warning page" may mislead you. Like I was the last two years I am mining information. I know how to make money on a warning page. i asked to gather information as at the very root of my project a surfer hits a warning page and I have developed a dynamic one that can do some pretty neat things. That can make a newbie webmaster up to 20% of his sales before a surfer even enters his site. Imagine if your warning page could dynamically generate an ad from the best converting sponsor in your niche on a daily schedule based on concrete conversion and tracking info. Which when the whole project is complete the surfers actions will be tracked from the second he hits the page to a hub and filtered and then to a sponsor. I gave a lot of info. And if you read between the lines you may see what is happening in general tearms.
I never said its my way or the higway. I have said on more than one occasion I can be very opionated and that you either can believe what I say or not. Ultimately any decision is up to that webmaster. You asked in a thread are you a decision maker or a marketer. I told my employee the only "wrong" decison you can make is "NO" decision. My way may be the way for "an awful lot of people on GWW". Then it may not be. Is it for you to decide? And have you ever thought that maybe your way may not be the best way?Originally Posted by Lee
Exactly, so that is why I get the most information when many post their own ideas and beliefs. The more the merrier. Just as competition is healty to any industry overall. I welcome competion, new ideas, and different views.Originally Posted by Lee
As the saying goes, Bring it on and keep it coming baby.
