Rev share or PPS, who has the numbers?
 

Has anyone made a no-bs database of how well different sponsors retain customers? Maybe it's not even possible (since I imagine it depends on how you sell their product), but whenever I signup with a new sponsor, I always sit and ponder if I should go for revenue sharing or pay per signup.

I usually end up going with revenue sharing and eventually switch to PPS if the sponsor is not retaining the client.

:spawn

too many variables besides just the program, it really depends on the kind of traffic you're sending. that being said, after a couple months you can do the math for yourself much more accurately than any general DB could.

With the state of the industry these days I would always go to PPS. You never know when a program gets out of business or stops paying affiliates, so it's better to cash in while you can instead of going for long-term rebill revenue.

Revshare...

Only revshare can get you to a point where you send 50,417 uniques and you generate a turnover of $11,373 in less than 20 days....

So yeah it takes 2-3 months to get to that point, but once you are rolling...

Those are some pretty awesome numbers, what program is that and how are you promoting it? :D

if these are cam sales then u don't know what the OP is asking about.

Yea I am not talking about cam sites. Regular porn (or freaky shit for that matter).

AFF has paid me 7 figures on revshare, and when traffic falls for various reasons I still get paid because of the recurring billing until I get traffic levels raised again.

With PPS you get more up front, but if your traffic dies you arent making anything. And you only get paid once for a signup that may stay a member for several months or even a year.

I think your approach of trying revshare first then switching if the retention is not so good is a pretty good approach already!

I request a User pass for the Member area and i look around before signing up to the sponsor. ( on another topic, i also look at the billing pages, xsells etc)

You'll be surprised of some of them, some of the largest players have the shittiest member areas ever; when that happens i usually pick PPS or i move on.

Lots of updates, content quantity, content delivery options (downloads, streams, mobile...), customer service friendly, good hosting etc etc.... i go for rev share

Good pointers, I should start to do that. Thanks CT!

revshare can make the most but these days stuff is too shady to push revshare at most programs

I have told many affiliates this and only a few have listened. When you find a program that you want to promote because they have the sites/niches that you want do your self a favor and use Both PPS and Rev. Split 70% or so PPS and the rest Rev. Then once the rev starts to build change the split to closer to 50/50 and then reverse it when the Rev has passed the PPS amount.


Or just go with Rev 100%

not bad at all...
