Any CCBILL sponsors that DO NOT SELL their shit in members areas?

Are there any CCBILL sponsors that do not resell their own services or products in the PAYSITE members areas and STEAL our HARD EARNED Surfers from rebilling?

Anyone? That does not resell WEBCAMS/ESCORT SERVICES, penis pills, or any shit in their members areas and STEAL OUR Hard earned surfers?

REBILLS with those programs SUCK...

Sponsors are looking to maximize profits as much as affiliates, so you can't really blame them for upselling. My suggestion for you would be to start your own paysite(s) and funnel your traffic to those. I believe it's fairly cheap to get a CCBILL site up and running these days. And content has never been cheaper.

Retard.

You want 50 or 70 percent of the sale maybe more if a webmaster referred you and that leaves the company with say 20 - 40% and they have to pay for hosting, advertising, staff, new content, updates and lord knows what else. Stingy fuck. They do this to offset the costs of paying idiots like you too much.

20 - 40% is plenty in bulk. Sponsors could pay out 100% of revenue generated by affiliates and still come out ahead without cross sales and other garbage.

On revshare? No way.

You can do soft upsells with out being intrusive and bothering the member.

Yes, since an epic shit ton of sales come in because of affiliates that aren't credited to affiliates. Decent sized programs make millions a year on 'lost' referrals of some kind. Paying 100% of profit is well worth it if you can swing the initial outlay which is fuck all these days.

You make it sound like its a smart thing. Cross sales have no impact on ratios and upsells have no impact on rebills, they just make more money. I tried both, on lots of sales, no difference, so doing it without is like saying no to free money. And that isn't smart.

I know more than one person that will pay for porn but will not hit submit if there is a cross sale anywhere. It might not affect you much but I would bet your affiliates don't feel the same way.

There are absolutely ZERO upsells, cross-sells, or ANY kinda "selling" that occurs within the Member's Areas of Mister Peabody World, a CCBill affiliate program (PeabodyCash, please see sig).

We don't need 'em, we don't want 'em, and we won't work with anyone who does. Period. Average rebill: 5 months.
Now start promotin' - GO!

I sold cars for Chevy at one time in my life.

We had the Corvettes in the showroom, not on the outside.
If you came in looking for a Camaro, I'd try to bump you up to a vet.

I worked for a Chevrolet dealership also, and after I sold them a unit I never tried to send them to a Ford dealership to buy another unit.

I wanted them to stay with me and when it came time for the customer to buy again I wanted him to come back to me.

Unfortunately in todays world you not only have to sell the customer but you also have to sell the affiliate.

My affiliates don't have to worry about any traffic leaks.

Most affiliates feel way more comfortable sending their traffic to a sponsor with no leaks.

Again we are talking revshare.

So you might make more per membership with upsells. But I might attract more affiliates/traffic and make more memberships by not having leaks.

Either way I really don't believe what you say and I think your full of shit.

All I hear you talk about lately is how great you are and how you are making more money now in todays market than you ever have in years past.

I think that's a crock of shit.

A banner here or there or a link to webcams is not a big deal. An "upsell" is a choice, it's not forcing them.

You guys are missing out on free money. It doesn't bother you members so long as you dont blast them with crap. A soft sell is all you need. 1 - 2 banners that are relevant to your site.

Given the current times, I want to come back and see how many are still in business from this thread, in 18 months.

I don't think I'm great, but I always tried more things to compare, I don't talk about stuff I never tested in real life. How can you say cross sales are bad if you didn't use them? You can't.

And yes, I make more nowadays, I don't understand how its possible, too. Probably because of lower costs, hosting is almost free nowadays, traffic on some sites is much cheaper than it used to be, too. Fewer people in adult make it easier to make more money.

Deal.

But will you pay 3% of my staff and general business overhead every month?

If you are willing, so am I.

This doesn't change the fact that it's retarded as hell to send your customers to a competitor across the street. I'd love to see this in real life though.

"Thanks for buying your sandwich, did you know you can but more sandwiches right over there? They're really good sandwiches so you should check it out! Never mind that you might like that sandwich better or buy one of their bagels while you are over there. Surely you have unlimited money to spend on sandwiches and you shopping there will not cost me anything!"



Fuck you assholes are even more retarded than I remembered.

If you are willing, so am I.
It takes 3% of your staff to deal with his one customer?

Epic fucking retard.

Fuck you assholes are even more retarded than I remembered.
Did you even run a paysite? Many members are members of more paysites at once. You think when a surfer joins a paysite, thats it for him? You don't have a clue.

No shit, sherlock. Nothing you say will change the fact that many people have a limited amount of money they can spend on porn and you (most sponsors) are selling themselves short for a few extra bucks up front. If you have only one paysite and you send a customer to someone else there is a chance they drop your site because they like the other one better. If you have multiple sites and send a customer to a competitor it might limit the money they can spend on your future offerings. Also, when a customer gets pissed at 14 different companies rebilling them they will cancel all of them.

There is nothing you can say to justify sending customers to your competitors. It is shortsighted and stupid unless you are done with the business and just looking for a quick payday.

We do not sell food, we sell porn. Perhaps you don't know the difference, but there is one. But since you want to use sandwiches... the difference is that porn consumers will eat more than one sandwich at once at any given time. Not any one shop can satisfy their hunger. So you sell them as much as they can eat, because THEY WILL KEEP EATING and if you don't feed them, someone else will.

So says the moron who doesn't know a hypothetical question when he sees once.

Don't know what nick you used to go by here but you probably changed it because you are more retarded than those you are accusing of being retarded.

You're a real piece of work. Doubt you have any stake in this business at all.

People don't eat more than one sandwich per month? You will not find anyone in ANY other line of business telling their customers about competitors without being prompted. It is shortsighted and the programs suggesting it here are outing themselves as fucking morons of the highest degree. It's not that every single customer you send somewhere else will be a net loss to you but overall it has a negative effect. This has been going on forever, who knows where rebills would be if everyone weren't so God damned stupid.

Since you want to continue the food analogy I'll help you out.

People eat 3 times per day. Some people find a restaurant and it is THEIR ABSOLUTE FAVORITE FOOD so they eat there all the time. Well they did, until the owner told them about a better shop just around the corner.

Seriously dude, it's not rocket science. The fact that someone would even attempt to argue about it is hilarious to me. Keep shooting yourself in the foot, it doesn't affect me at all.

Many theories just don't work in adult, you never know what will work and affect sales/rebills if you don't try it out. I always analyzed stats very closely and I tried everything, I didn't see any difference in retention/rebills with and without upsells. Not even a bit!

Lets see webmaster gets 60% processing takes 10-15% so that puts you at 75% of your profits gone. You still have to pay for content and daily operations. If they don't upsell how do they put food on their tables? I been in hundreds and hundreds of members area and i would say 90% have upsells to dating or even other paysites its just how it is and how it always has been. This is nothing new.

With a lot of the cross sale companies gone, everyone needs something new to complain about.

I think people who upsell do so because they realise that their content alone cannot sustain the member long term and as the member will end up going somewhere else anyway, why not give him some ideas as to where to go, and get a share of his future purchases.
