Saying, "Here's some free shit, like? Sign up here.", is not a solid converting sales pitch. You have not earned that customers sale, and they are letting you know that with bad ratios. Throwing shit traffic and shit promo pages is not going to get you sales.

Most whales I know of MAKE their own promo tools, and pages from the content. They do not rely on FHG, or standard freebies from the sponsors. They know how to convert it themselves, and invest their time and efforts doing it right.



I don't disagree at all, but, after that sale is made why would a customer stay if they can write down a few title names, go to a torrent or tube site download them, then cancel or chargeback? I wouldn't.

We have created a lot of problems for ourselves over the yrs and they are all leading to our industries demise but torrent and tubes we can actually work to remedy. Short of a mind eraser there isn't much we can do about the other things, except clean our act up.

1:70k, holy shit! That is no way an issue created by torrents, tubes, the sponsor or anything else but traffic, you can't just through shit at the window and hope it sticks anymore!
