Jayeff, I know what you mean. I use the free AVS's mostly as ways to promote my hub and other stuff, but I do list them on the hub and they make a few sales. I have yet to try the AEN stuff, but I'm going to look into it. I can't deal with Jan though if it's the same Jan the Man formerly of Certifier.
I didn't lose much with AC either because all of my eggs weren't in one basket, and though my sales are declining with all AVS's except ProAdult where I really can't upsell much because of their rules. Retention is great though.
I still like the Gold/Platinum/Pro/Quantum model because it forces me not to get lazy and I put a lot more time into promoting them and that pays off for some sites, not all.
It is a tricky biz for someone new tho, and you have to have your own traffic to do well, but with me it's pretty much on autopilot while I get into other things. And because I'm used to it I can put together a premium AVS site in less time than it would take me to make a freesite that would pass on LOR
