I'll preface this by saying I've never run or been part of running a program.

I've read and been part of lots of discussions involving PPS, and this is what I've seen a ton of sponsors do/say they did:

Start out as revshare only and pay on rebills. If you're not making money on a given webmaster's traffic then neither do they, and that way you can't lose your ass on affiliate sales by making a bad decision on PPS payout. After you've run for a few months and can really crunch the numbers to determine what you can afford to pay PPS, if it's a number at or over $20 start offering PPS then. Also bear in mind that many sponsors pay less on console free PPS than with consoles, and that doesn't seem to bother anyone a bit. We all know that without consoles a sponsor makes less on our traffic.
