Can the Dating site business model support $35 payouts? - GoFuckYourself.com

I think so due to the many upsell and cross sell opportunities. Your thoughts?

We're supporting $50 and not shaving

However thats a promotion to attract new affiliates...our standard will be $25.

I think that if a dating site charges 24.95, they can support $35 even without cross-sales, depending on their member retention.

If their average member retention is 3 months,

3 x 24.95 x 0.85 (lets assume max 15% processor fees) = $63.62

With upselling of relaqted products (pills, sextoys, etc....) I'm sure it can be done.

Fuck one-time $35 payouts!

At AFF, a single join can be worth HUNDREDS to an affiliate before the wad's all shot.

For your information, we also offer a rev share program, which could allow an affiliate to make quite a lot from one member only.
For example, on our wesbite, we have members that are with us for 5 years now! The affiliates that referred these members years ago are still earning revenues on a monthly basis for the same members.

And to answer the thread, it is possible to go up to 100$ per join, it all depends on the quality of the website, how well it converts and how well it retains its members.

Cheers

Doesn't Lover Cash pay $35?

i bet some members stay on these date sites years, just for something to do. i bet 35 usd payout is ripping off the webmaster

Well not ripping them off...it's their choice afterall.

Take the slow and steady money or the quick payout. It's like investing in a low-riosk stock versus a high-risk one

Of course it can. It can support $40 normal payouts. It can support $50 bonus days. I will vouch that AAC does not shave.

Dating sells! and if the dating website suceeds in retaining the member, then yes, members could stay years.

For instance, at www.IwantU.com, we try to create an adult dating community, thus, members stay longer, and our affiliates earn more.

Tip: With dating sites, go for the rev share, not the pay per signup option.

Hope it helps!
