Sly is an extremely wise man so I would never contradict him. So I will just add to his term 'marketing' to say....it's all about the traffic.
Can Tours be tweaked/improved? Yes. Can the sales funnel/marketing approach be improved upon? Yes. Can you A-B test endlessly until you get a good ROI? Yes, in theory. (Are people who ask themselves questions then answer them annoying as fuck? Yes. Sorry.)
Seriously now, it's ALL about the traffic. If you had a conversion problem (not knowing what to do with said traffic) then yes, it's about the marketing sucking. But it sounds like your partners did a shitty job of sending enough traffic to your sites to make it profitable for you.
So to answer your question (is it 'worth it?'): Yes - IF you can get enough traffic to make sales. Today a 1:1000 ratio is decent for a paysite. But you can also monetize via clips4sale, licensing and other ways.
Hope that helps.
