I was a HUGE per-signup supporter until I started to compare on long periods. There's not even a correlation, revshare on GOOD programs (usually NOT THE BIG ONES with a few exceptions) beats per signup on ridiculous numbers, something like 8:1 or 10:1 for the same paysite and/or niche.
You're preaching to the choir. I referred to the "average".
No doubt, recurring is great.
But, there are MANY unknown factors in there.
WAY too many, to make it the only basket to put your eggs in.
Again, how many actually buy the trial but don't stay for the full month? Or, leave after the first month? How many charge back? How many demand a credit?
Not to mention, what if the program shuts down? Or stop updating? Or stop paying?
Or, lo and behold, the surfer cancels and returns again and again but you don't get creditted for the re-sells?

Ofcourse, you can have a guy recurr for years and years. And at the same time have 10,000+ who did not.

Lot's of if's in there. Lot's and lot's.

Point being: don't put all your eggs in one basket.
