Something similar was attempted by many with trial subscriptions. Now, I am not sure about the others (sponsors), but our trials members fled, quickly.
Also, I've never received so many threatening e-mails as I did during that big mistake (not one of mine as I hate the idea of limited access - the others here "thought" it was a good idea).
Some offer with or with out exits.
Some offer with or with out iPods.
Some offer payouts worth more than the value of the SU.
Some offer only rev-share.
We all have different ways of doing things.
Heck, I love to ask webmasters why they bother to promote so many other sponsors/sites, or why they do not keep trying strategies until they've exhausted every single tactic, but I'd never stoop to that!
How many webmasters do you think would go for this: until a referral (member) is fully done with us (cancelled and moved on), they are not paid out. Webmasters will receive payment after the exact worth of that referral has calculated.
Something like:
sign-up value - expenses (BW, support etc) + agreed % of up sells
if anything, THAT will create a more equal playing field. Problem is, WTF is going to accept that?
