Now all of a sudden you send a join and also say that join goes for the cross sales to 12clicks sites too.

Now you didn,t make any more money. I did.

Plus what's the chance of that member keeping a membership to my site, plus 12 clicks sites, plus whatever emails he sends them plus whatever up sells are in his members.

Your chances go down. Ray charles can see that.

If you think cross sales to 12 clicks sites is going to help your retention on yours and my members on my sites, then well, there is no sense in explaining it further.

especially when you are not making anything off it as an affiliate
BV, let me educate YOU

first of all, don't misrepresent how I operate. we do not email, upsell, extra sell, or in any other way touch the cross sale member. We let the recurring run and that is it.

second, since you've never cross sold you're simply in no position to state how it effects retention. you can guess at it, but you certainly have no stats to back up your claims

furthermore, cross sales help the revshare program survive in this down market. most revshare programs are small. small=less likely to survive. Now people can rail against cross sales all day long but I say more money goes into the affiliates' pocket when the program stays viable and does not go out of business. what is your cut of $0.00 in a 50/50 revshare?
