Paying $30-35 when the surfer is paying $30-35 upfront is insulting.
If you can't afford to pay $30+ on trials and $50+ on monthlies then you should stick with revshare.

If that's too much then just stick with revshare until you build up your member base  |
So Lenny2, let me get this straight,
An affiliate program:
Hires the models, shoots the content and all that entails; photographers, videographers, locations equipment etc., edits the content, compresses the content, builds the sites and pays for programmers, pays the graphic designers, pays for compression, pays for servers, pays for bandwidth, goes out and gets merchant accounts, pays for credit card merchants accounts or billers, pays someone to do accounting and sending you your paycheck.
An Affiliate;, builds and submits galleries and tweaks SEO.
and you want 2 MONTHS of the customers payments?!?!
Talk about insulting!!
This is the thinking that is making the affiliate programs go after their own traffic sources and not depend as much on affiliates.
That's why you are basically talking yourself out of future income.
If you think these companies are not working to push you out for these very reasons, you are sorely mistaken.
