Paying On Rebills Only?

[Lee]

well i can see that one as the payout would be better but if you have a long recurring member it wouldnt be too hot for the program unless i misunderstand you... with the numbers above it would be a direct lose for the program or am i misreading you ?

Why would it be a direct loss for the program?

Initial sale - $29.95
Rebill value - $29.95

On revshare, affiliate payout would be around $30 - The program would make $30.

On the model i described above, payout would be $40- The program would make $20.

Whilst there would be a loss on the initial to rebill to the program, you also have to take in to account initials that wont rebill, which the affiliate wont be paid for on the 'active' business model... Making the program a whole $30 instead of $15 on the revshare business model.

Of course with month 2, 3, etc rebills the affiliate would be paid less over time however, in the long term, the affiliate still makes more than on a standard PPS or revshare business model as does the program owner.

That being said, for the affiliate there will be a point of diminished return on the member but the affiliate has still ultimately made more money on the initial join just as the program owner does.
