partnership with established company

I really doubt Raven Riley’s site would have done over a million dollars in the first year if she had gone it alone.
KatVixen, Ramster and SirMoby have all chosen to put their pay sites under an established affiliate program.
I was going to put my baby (tijuana-whores) under an established affiliate program but the processor didn’t like me promoting hookers, So I’ll leave it alone and start a new Latina site that will get approved.

To me it’s simple math, I would be lucky to get 100 webmasters to promote my site by myself, where an established affiliate program will already have many times that many webmasters ready to promote it.

With no Videos I feel $20 is a fair price, subtract processing fees of roughly 15% I clear $17 per sale, if I were splitting sales with affiliates we would make $8.50 each.

Going with the established program I’ve chosen I get to add videos as part of the deal making my new site worth $30 for a membership, so I’ll make $21 for each sale I do (15% for the affiliate program and 15% for the billing company) the split with an affiliate will be $12.75 for the affiliate $8.25 for me.

Seems like a No Brainer to me

I believe she was discovered and recruited - never on her own as far as I know. I wouldn't hazard to use her unique success story as a comparison of what the average personality site will earn.

Sabby van Whats-her-name, a somewhat established name, didn't turn out so well.

Frankly, if I was to invest in a paysite right now, I wouldn't even bother with affiliate webmasters.

T Pat, I agree with everything you said...except "Seems like a No Brainer to me". I think there is a lot of value in understanding how to market your site before you join in with an established affiliate program. Otherwise how can you really evaluate if that program can best promote your program the way you want it to be promoted.

Second, if you do know the marketing aspect of the game and things do go wrong with the established program and you decide to take control back, you will have a loyal base of affiliates to help deflect the negative publicity that always accompanies such breakups.

I know it's a lot of damn work, but in the long run I think your much better off understanding the ins and outs of the business before turning marketing control over to somebody else.
