TwistysCash now offering Cross-Sell Free Options to Affiliates! - GoFuckYourself.com

Shap · 07-30-2008, 03:14 PM

Hi guys. We've been in the industry for almost 10 years. Our first 5 years were almost 100% on free sites. I think most of you know we own Thumbzilla.com. I say that because I've always felt our ties to free sites reflect in our understanding of what affiliates need and want. I know how frustrating it is to feel that sponsors don't give a shit about you and don't care about your concerns. We definitely care about our affiliates and their concerns. Making you guys happy is very important to us.

With all of that said I've read and heard the concerns regarding Cross-Sells. As a company we are working very hard to be one of the largest affiliate programs. As a result we have to be competitive in our payouts and our monetization of traffic. We do our best to be competitive without being counter productive and harming the industry. We've increased our payouts on TwistysCash in an effort to make our affiliates more money.

We've had a few affiliates contact us regarding a non cross-sell option. So today we made that a reality. We are adding a non cross-sell option for all sites in TwistysCash! We will have a non cross-sell option for both PPS and Revshare.

You guys spoke and we listened

Yeah, good idea man. I hope the affiliate realize that there is a paycut involved.

We should have a no exit, no xsale, and no limited access program done with the week.

Nice work man.

Bugbee · 07-30-2008, 04:26 PM

Deej · 07-30-2008, 06:38 PM

I like your style Shap!

Offering to everyone!

Reduces to potential bitching crowd.

Love the steady, quiet business!

Nicky · 07-30-2008, 06:45 PM

Good stuff Shap

Socks · 07-30-2008, 06:46 PM

Very good news Shap! Nice to see someone is paying attention.

For a revshare affiliate, is there any reason to keep the cross-sale?

yes there is. Your sponsor should be allowed to make money too.

A properly dome cross sale should not effect the original sale negatively.
Over the last 10 years the affiliate has gotten more and more and more at the expense of the program. At some point, inteligent people should say,"boy, I really get a lot from my sponsor. I should leave them a few scraps"

Keep in mind, I too was once a very successful freesite webmaster.

I agree. If you look at mainstream nowhere do affiliates get what they get in adult.

The other problem is anyone who has never run a cross sale on their site can't speak about the effects the cross sale has on business, sales or rebills. I was the biggest advocate against cross sales. The problem was I was talking out of my ass since I had never run them. Now having run them for a while now I'm learning more and more. And the fact we continue to have them on our sites is probably a good indicator of our feelings towards them.

Since we've had cross sells on our site (for almost a year now) we have not seen any drop in sales or rebills. We've run a number of tests and have not had any issues.

Snake · 07-30-2008, 09:26 PM

Shap, where's the no x sell option for FHG's? I can't seem to find it. I only want to promote revshare, that should be the default setting. I don't want to promote some other site I get no credit for.

I agree, you guys are trailblazers, very nice! Now all the other programs should jump the bandwagon as well and word will spread among surfers that the world of porn subscriptions has become a tad safer

Yeah, before the merchants with minimum tripple pre-checked/hidden cross-sales no body was paying $35.00 per signup

Snake, please drop me an email Kevin at Twistys dot com or ICQ me with your TwistysCash username, let me know if you want trial or no trial, as we as the sites you are interested in promoting and I'll send you the FHGs.
