AVS Sales were great, we would convert at about 1:50. So almost everyone using our program were making sales. We were also the first to offer other content to members then just access to the sites.
Some guys made 1 sale a pay period, but some also made hundreds. So it paid for our bandwidth. We didn't have the huge office spaces we have now, we were at home in a small rental with no employees. Just my partner and I at the time. That grew to over 20K foot prime spot real estate with over 100 Employees.
But yes, our advantage was Free Hosting and Support. Support was always bad back in the days. So I would take my support to the boards, I would do "Ask me anything about our programs" Threads. Also, we stayed home most of the time and all we did was answer emails around the clock. (We still kind of do with email coming to our cell phones)
Not much on GFY because this was more of a TGP board, but other boards that were more AVS friendly. I'm here because I like you guys.
