cross sale your own sites?

[haganxy]

does anyone here have multiple sites with separate members' areas? if so, do you cross sale your own sites? if so, what has your experience been? do you use the same content throughout your various members areas so you can't cross sell them? maybe the design is similar and surfers would feel like they are paying double for the same site?

I've found that cross selling my sites that fall within different niches works very well.

All of my sites have different content within different niches, that keeps customers happy

I mean, we only have two sites... Fratpad and FratmenTV.

FratmenTV features the full-length, polished and produced movies with a few live shows every week.

Fratpad is more like Naked Jackass.. very Gonzo-porn.. nothing polished, mostly live, seat-of-the-pants stuff. The content is VERY different but it features the same guys.

We cross promote because neither one would really canibalize the other's membership.. in fact we've used content from both sites as supliamental content on the other and it's encouraged a lot of people to join both.

I wouldn't cross sell my own sites. You will get more new members by X-selling with other sites. While you may only get $15-$20 a signup, the amount that they can send you makes it worth it imho.

The only way I would ever cross sell another site I had was if it was radically different from my other sites.

If i ran regular membership sites, I may cross sell a dvd download site I had, or a live cam site I ran, or... you get the idea...

Xselling to your own stuff is dangerous when it comes to CB ratios.

Cross selling to your own sites if done properly can be very lucrative. The nice thing is that you have conttrol over where the cross sells or coming from which helps avoid fraud or misuse from other webmasters.
