What would you rather have content or money?
 

Was chatting with an affilaite a few minutes ago and he said he would rather have content than money for sign ups, if the amount of content was more than the money pay out. For instance 100% in content or 50% in money for Rev Share.

What are your thoughts?

depends on what I need: if I need content that would be a great deal

Isn't that sorta like a house builder getting paid with wood?

no thnx, I prefer money

Exactly. But if he gets $90 of wood instead of $30 in cash and he can use the wood to turn into $900 it seems a good deal.

Depends if he needs wood.

Now how do I get him to take payment in nails. |king|

vague question but in my current situation, if it was a deal? i'd take the content


..

Well if you'll provide a diffrent link code that'll be "pay per content" I think it'll be cool with many people. If you need content than you make gallery/freesite with that link and in the future submissions you could always move back to normal link codes.

Sorry about that, this is for the paysite and as I'm new at it this post is me testing the water on a new idea.

If the content was shot here in the USA using hot European models that stayed here long enough to get work permits and CA driver lisenses and came with complete scanned copies (not photos) of the model IDs, a signed, datad and notorized copy of the model release forms and the content was actually good then maybe I'd choose the content.

Otherwise it's pretty hard to tell at this point :)

Since I always need content, it would be nice to get content instead of money, as long as it would be a GOOD deal.

The best way to do it (IMHO), would be to have add "content" as a payout option in the admin, like: Check, wire, epassporte, content
That would make it would be easy for the webmaster to switch it over to content if they need some content, or regular money if they have enough content for the time being.

What's wrong with them being shot here? I'm the primary producer so it's fine.

I assume you don't want to give the content to affilaites. LOL

So a $15 revshare signup instead he would take $30 in content? Seems odd to me as if your site has a good retention and rebill rate he would make more than $30.

Also you supply free content to promote your site? So, when he goes through that content if he requested more content would you supply him with it? Most sponsors usually do...so if he just remained promoting your site he could build up a nice little revshare income (if you have a good rebill rate), and still have content supplied by you to promote your site.

When you read the regulations it's up for debate if a US based company can use content unless the model has a US issued ID.

Remember the paragraph below does not say "PRIMARY producer". It only uses the term producer which mean both primary and secondary.

"or, a foreign government-issued equivalent of any of the
documents listed above when both the person who is the subject of the
picture identification card and the producer maintaining the required
records are located outside the United States."

Firstly an affiliate will have to build up a lot of joins to just wander into the site to take what he thinks he can. Then he will get it with our logo and must promote us, with the new 2257 US affiliates might be stuck with softcore only because I may not give out the IDs, that will be decided on an individaul basis.

So this content is hit to do what he likes with within the license terms.

Yes that is what we thought at first, but all the lawyers in all the US magazine companies are telling us otherwise. That would cripple the US teen porn market.

In fact it would damage the market in more than just teens.

Then it's not that a very good deal, IMHO. It's basically just sponsor content, nothing else.
Get paid with sponsor content or money? Easy choice.

No that would be the free content, the content in place of money would be the content store, content.

Depends on the conversion ratio on the site the traffic was sent to too ;) If the conversion was 1:100000 or something I would take cash ;))

For Paul's site it might work out though, his content is GREAT :) I bought 160 sets or so from him 1-2 months ago

But if the content can only be used for promoting your sites, it's just glorified sponsor content.

i would choose content because with the content i can make money, otherwise its money and i need to buy content with that money, i prefer the other way around:D

What about porn webmasters getting wood? :D

Back to the question... I'd rather have the money... but then again I am a cash whore!

I can see two options here.

I have a couple of content providers that I list with my affilate codes, and can take either money or content(no branding).

Also a lot of sponsors now have "point" systems for sales, that can be spent in their "stores" for things like content, etc.

Seems to be a mixed bunch, will talk to CCBILL about getting some options on the way we pay out.

good idea

We have on occasion offered sponsorship on GGandJ for content. But, I do like the money.

But, as an affiliate...give me cash.
