I run paysites and offer cams and dating inside my 84 Members Areas. So the traffic is relatively small but also 'targeted' (to some extent). Here's MY problem with cams and dating as a business model for the affiliate vs. paysites for the affiliate:
With cams/dating the affiliate really has ZERO idea how much the Customer actually spends. That's why we get paid on intial signups (and all the fun little tricks that go along with them, like trials and upgrading and converting blah blah). Once a cam or dating Customer is inside the cam or dating site they basically POOF disappear in terms of how much they spend and you, the affiliate, knowing about it.
With paysites when someone joins you get the sale (and rebill), end of story. Sure, there may be Upsells in the MA that you, the affiliate, do not get a piece of but this is, at best, ancillary income (not the main moneymaker).
So there's my problem with cams and dating Programs. How the fuck do I know how much a Customer actually spends? You say he spent $x but maybe he really spent $xxx. Again, how would I know?
Trust, in this business and with that business model, is not something I trust. LOL
