Welcome, nice site concept and tour. The 35% rev share for affiliates is a little low, but I think your site will convert well and possibly retain member well, so I signed up.

prisonmade · 01-31-2007, 03:47 PM

I am certainly receptive to changing things as I learn the webmastering side of things. What is a standard percentage for affiliates. I have tons of buddies who are ex-cons and I know how to put hot sex down on film...but the webmastering side is new to me. I certainly respect the fact that the financial viability is dependent on webmasters like you bringing traffic...so I will give some serious consideration to upping the percentage next month. Any other suggestions for how I can make it easier for you guys?

maxpower · 01-31-2007, 04:17 PM

50% is standard $0.02 (just look around)

prisonmade · 01-31-2007, 05:00 PM

Not quite 50% but I am listening and learning from you guys. I hope that is an improvement. We are just a team of regular guys who have made a little money escorting since we got out of prison, not some corporate behemoth that has 25 websites and can work the numbers like that. Hope to continue working with you guys and thanks for the advice and all-around hospitality!

Welcome to the board. :turddance:

Welcome -- I tried signing up but for some odd reason the affiliate code that I got takes me to seancody.com and the banner farm link at ccbill also takes me to seancody.com -- perhaps something at ccbill isn't set up correctly?

I just took a look at your webmaster resource page and the link url you have: http://refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clic...=933521@pa=XXX

isn't the same as the ccbill referal info that was sent to me via email just now or in the ccbill admin area.

Hmmmm anyone from ccbill around that can shed light on this?

prisonmade · 01-31-2007, 07:21 PM

I just called ccbill and the incorrect affiliate code was embedded...you have saved me so much headache! I am having it fixed as we speak and i will post here when it has been resolved and now reflects accurately. Thanks again!

If you can't afford an attorney to review your site and make sure you're doing things legally, you DEFINITELY can't afford to defend yourself against a Justice dept. charge for noncompliance with 2257. One costs under $500. The other could cost $100,000 or more. Not a wise gamble.

Just trying to help you stay legal

Max, I'm really sorry. I was speaking to prisonmade about his 2257, not yours. It may have been confusing because of the way I wrote the post.

The URL for the noncompliant 2257 on Prisonmade is
http://www.fifthtiersupport.com/2257.html

and there's another URL that's a completely broken link at

http://www.prisonstud.com/support/2257.html off of the main tour page.

Easy to miss stuff like that, but it can get you in trouble !

No worries -- I'll put up linkage to you on my sites when it's ready. I'm about to go out now so I'll check again tommorow.

Dzinerbear · 01-31-2007, 08:47 PM

Great site, it should do amazingly well. I don't know of anything like it. And Workin Men Movies sure has done well for me.

If you'd like to PM me a login and password, I'll get it reviewed for Gay Porn Pig. And I can blog about your site, too. I'll get your banners up on The Pig's link list.

BTW, don't listen to Max, ccbill is way better for affiliates than Paycom. ccbill allows webmasters to merge all their accounts into one. Paycom is still on the seventh sun of Jupiter as far as this is concerned.

Cheers
Michael

Can you actually do me a huge favour? Can you go back into your ccbill admin panel and actually call your program something other than "CCBill Referral Program." I have like 20 of these all called "CCBill Referral Program" and I have to look through each one when I'm looking for a particularly program. Drives me nuts. Just call it Prison Studs or something.

Thanks
Michael

Adding another welcome to GWW. Did have a question about one of your membership pricing options. There's one that says 24.95 for 37 days (trial) recurring ... is that legit or did someone mess up entering information on a trial option?

prisonmade · 01-31-2007, 11:58 PM

Hi guys,

I called ccbill twice with regards to my ccbill affiliate linking code. They assure me that everything is correct and running properly. I have PM'd Robin and, hopefully, he will confirm that everything is working smoothly. I want to make sure that it does before everyone invests time in being an affiliate of ours.

Dzinerbear, I will pm you in the morning and would love to be reviewed. Thanks!

Bec, I saw that trial rate somewhere else and like it. It really is silly to have it next to a subscription plan for the same rate at 30 days but I hought it was a clever way of marketing towards people signing up for a recurring plan as opposed to a one-time billing option. I guess i will see how well that works out here over the next month or two!

Thanks all...have a good night!
