shave me

I think sponsors shave, they gotta shave a PPS program, what happens when most of the sales for a month or 2 are all 4.95 trials and hardly any convert to a full sale ? would you want all your money you had saved up to be gone..

Plus greed has to come in, and as mentioned if they only shave 10% of sales, thats a lot of money in a month..

plus now think about it, say you had a program and if you shaved a little a month you could make 10k more a month and if you didnt shave you only make 6k a month being honest... Thats a hell of a lot of temptation.. right ?

the thing is nobody can or will prove that a sponsor is shaving from a webmaster side of things..

So another question how many program workers have ever left a program on bad terms and showed the webmaster public that they shaved with proof...

So really I think very few sponsors shave sales because the risk is to high..

I'm sure some sponsors do shave. I've seen them openly admit it on another board a few years ago.
A good sponsor really does not have to shave if they are smart. I'm not that brilliant and do not run a paysite but I do see some moneymaking opportunities that they have to increase their bottom line. Upsells inside the member area.
Offering bonus sites when a member wants to cancel their membership.
Offering a bonus site for a single $ on initial sign up that rebills full price.
The obvious: console sales

I'm sure there are hundreds of hooks I have not even imagined.

With the cc processing the way it is nowadays you do have to wonder wtf is going on sometimes tho.....
