Affiliates: free content versus own content

[[BV]]

Think about this for a moment:

Surfer visits a free site or gallery featuring the tease pictures of a particular set of a model that he just falls in love with. He now wants to see the full set of her so he can get his groove on. So he signs up.

When he gets inside and discovers that that full set or even that model is not even inside the members area, I'd imagine he is not going to be happy.

On the other hand after logging in he is first directed to the full content set that matches the promo content set of the gallery or free site he signed up off of. Or can easily find it. I'd imagine he is going to be very happy and more apt to stay around.

Think outside the box for a moment.

Why are you buying content of a girl surfers will fall in love with and your sponsor is not?

I argue with site owners who bought ten sets of mine for the tour and the 100 crap sets on price for the bulk of the site. Or just want single images for design.

Here's the solution.

If you find a content provider with content that drives surfers, makes the surfer sign up, then tell the sponsor and get yourself a cut from the content provider.

Here's the deal from me. Get a sponsor to buy from www.paulmarkham.com and I will GIVE you a copy of the sets he buys for you to promote him with. He can't give it to his other affiliates.

Win win situation?
