Bro, we don't have any rights to that money anyway. A program does everything for you...provides you pre-made hosted galleries and other tools, then we simply link 'em up and make money off of the sale. Fuck, they even send us the damn links in our email because I don't have time to go to the admin area.
You're not getting paid for "traffic", you're getting paid to make a sale to a specific site. Damn. On revshare you're making 50% of the gross. You don't have to pay shit. On the other hand, the program owner is paying for production, hosting, biller costs, and declines and other related credit card bullshit. If it's a $34.99 membership and it's revshare...here is the breakdown:
Affiliate (you): $17.49
Biller costs : $6.12
Program Owner: $$11.38
And that is at 50%. You can do the math yourself to see what happens at 60% and 70% and some of these programs doing 80%
We affiliates are already making the lions share of the money that the site owner did all the work for. Hell, I WANT the site owners to make as much money as they can. I want them to succeed. This is a symbiotic relationship. Neither can survive without the other. Start making it impossible for the paysite to thrive and you end up with a site that doesn't update and starts faltering.
Yeah, I agree that 3 or 4 hidden pre-checks is excessive. And it's our decision on whether to promote those programs.
