Hahaha, really?

Let's see, affiliates only (no type-ins, in-house, exits, upsells, ex-member mails, return joins, etc) 100 affiliate trials, $2.99 trial that rebills at 29.95 monthly, and we'll limit it to 3 months. 50% trials convert with an upgrade script and well say 55% each month being that we're only looking at 3 months.

100 trials at $2.99 = $299
50 rebill at $29.95 = $1497

Trial Total: $1796

2nd month, 55% retain for 27.5 members = $823
3rd month, 55% retain for 15 members = $449

Rebill Total: $1272

Total: $3068

Affiliate Payout: $3000

Profit: $68

Again, that's taking in zero other factors and only 3 months.

Anyway, once that affiliate is gone it's all profits for the pps program. So 2% of the sales (2 people above) will retain for 9+ months, that's another $539.10 profit on two members. If you take the rebills left and just run them out at 50%, that's another $391 profit.

Basically, the above program could pay $40pps and still make profit and most 40pps programs charge more than $29.95 a month and they ALL make money with more than just the membership.
