Originally posted by basschick you say regular sites pay rebills. what if the guy who joins joins for one year but does NOT choose to extend his free MANcheckPlusVideo membership to $39.95 per month? do we still get rebills? if so, how much does a rebill pay?
The short answer is no because there's nothing to rebill.

Let me explain in a bit more detail.

MANcheck has two kinds of sites: Regular and Plus. A regular site contains at least 50 pics and is accessed by anyone who purchased a $19.95 annual membership. A Plus site has at least 100 images and can NOT be accessed with a MANcheck yearly membership, the surfer needs to have a MANcheckPlusVideo (MCPV) membership, and this is $39.95 monthly and is our rebilling product.

I think where the confusion lies is that we have Plus sites and MANcheckPlusVideo memberships, and both mention the word "Plus," this is throwing people off.

Regular Memberships

If a surfer buys a $19.95 yearly membership, they get access to all Regular sites for a year. They also get trail access to MANcheckPlusVideo (MCPV) and any MANcheck Plus sites for a period of seven days. On the eighth day, they are rebilled $39.95 and rebilling continues until they request it stops. If at any time they cancel the rebilling, they still keep the $19.95 yearly access portion of the membership and they'll have access to Regular sites only.

Plus Site Access or MANcheckPlusVideo

When a surfer purchases a membership to MANcheckPlusVideo or a Plus Site, they are essentially buying the same membership. They get access to all of the video feeds, live sex shows, and web cams like Chi Chi Live and Raw, Prague Buddies, etc. and any of our Plus sites that have been built and submitted by webmasters. (Think of a Plus site as the cream of the crop: more pictures, updated regularly, many of them contain video clips, and they aren't supposed to have as many banners.) This membership costs $39.95 and rebills at the same rate monthly.

Let's use a concrete example. Let's say you register a Regular site with us called Hot Boys. Your site follows all of the rules that allows us to list it in our search engine and it promotes MANcheck exclusively (no other AEN's like GMP or UGAS). You sell a regular membership for $19.95, you earn $11.50. (This membership includes a 7-day trial to MANcheckPlusVideo MCPV). On the eighth day of the membership, the surfer hasn't cancelled their trial MANcheckPlusVideo membership, so we rebill the surfer $39.95 and you (webmaster) automatically receive another $18.00.

In another month the surfer's membership rebills again and you receive another $18.00. Now, let's say at this point the surfer decides they don't want access to MCPV anymore so they cancel that portion of the membership and stop the rebilling. You get no more rebilling and the surfer continues with another ten months of Regular site access, which is the original product he purchased, and the surfer no longer has access to all of the MCPV feeds and live sex shows, nor can they enter Plus sites. If they decided in another three months down the road that they want access again to MCPV, they need to upgrade their membership.

If you run a Plus site, a couple of things can happen. Any member who buys the yearly membership with the 7-day trial to MCPV will have access to your site for those first seven days. On the eighth day, if they've cancelled the MCPV membership, they won't have access to your Plus site and they'll be prompted to upgrade.

The second scenario is that a surfer would buy the $39.95 MCPV membership outright. In this case, they are buying access for 30 days only. They only have access to any MANcheck site (Plus or Regular) and MCPV for as long as they keep the monthly rebilling.

So if we look at basschick's original question: if a surfer buys the $19.95 yearly membership and cancels the 7-day trail, the webmaster is only getting the $11.50 commission of the yearly sale because there is nothing to rebill.

If you click on "MANcheck Policies" in the webmaster forum, those are the policies for running a Regular site. They just haven't named them "Regular Site Policies."

One other thing, you'll see the words "exclusive" and "non-exclusive." If MANcheck is the only script your site requires for entry, then you'd be considered exclusive. If you site gives the surfer the option of entering using MANcheck or UGAS (or any other AEN) then you are considered "non-exclusive." Exclusives make $1.00 more on regular sales and $2.00 on rebills.

I hope this helps clarify things. I know it can be a bit confusing, so if you have questions, PM or AIM me (dzinerbeartor). And if you want to shoot me a URL and ask: Is this site okay? I'm happy to look at it.
