My OP said "lets say".... So, I was just thinking about the upside as compared to a site I am now running for 11 years. Used to be DVD & Download of SINGLE MOVIES for a fee ( about 30 dollars), now streaming single movies (at about the same prices) and yes, I have some customers for all this time, so we still ship about 100 DVDs a month.
Some of my "young cowboys" are pushing me to go "membership" but all of you guys just convinced me that is NOT a way to go for us.
And BTW: we do have an affiliate program and pay about 3 dollars per stream ( about 10 %), have about 200 affiliates with the top ten performing in $ 100's per month ( and down from there).
Thanks again to all who answered. It was a good lesson for me. My next question in another thread will be about traffic, even more perplexing to me.... |
You shouldnt worry to much about the %, (the 40% that is yours)
Thing with the videos/revshare is.
Your main cost are making the videos. and after that you earn 12$ (40% of 29.95) for each person subscribing each month. No (real) extra costs for each one, the more the better.
You can offer affiliates anything you want, ranging from 10% to 80%, its the weigoff.
How many sales will they generate me, how many extra affiliates/sales will i get when i increase the %
So if offering 80% to affiliate would get you 2mil revenue = 200k profit (also -10% for processor)
vs
10% getting you you 50k revenue = 40k profit (also -10% for processor) you would be a lot better off with the 80% offer ofc.
Mainly saying this because i find the 200 affiliate with the TOP 10 in the $100's fairly low. Which doesnt suprise me with the 10% though. (for actual items, like toys/dolls 10% isnt strange, but for streams/downloads it is)
