Lesson #01 Introduction To Sponsor Studies
Written By Titmowse

Sometimes it isn’t all glamour. For example, take the paysite owner. Sure, they make tons of money. They get to buy nice gadgets and houses and have attractive people touch them. Paysite owners look like they’ve got it made.

Rubbish.

There’s a reason why paysite owners get to make all the money. They take all the responsibility. Someone has to conceive the site, get the content, design the layout, set up the billing and password protection, pay the taxes, employees, providers and vendors, lawyers and affiliates. It costs far more in time and money than any adult paysite owner takes home in pay. Adult paysite owners and service vendors are the machines of us all. If you want to take on that gargantuan task we have a class called Paysite Success.

Most of us would rather make a living by selling for sponsors.

What is a Sponsor?

A Sponsor is just a fancy name for someone that pays you a commission to sell their product or service. They provide the product. You market it. You are then paid a certain percentage of the cost of every sale you make. On the adult Internet, we call these people Sponsors. Online Sponsors give you a unique code that you put on your webpages. This code is called a referrer ID. They track your sales with this ID and pay you according to the Terms of the Sponsor/Affiliate agreement. When you sell for a Sponsor, you become an Affiliate.

Many Sponsors cater to the adult Internet. Most will want you to sell memberships to paysites. However, there are other types of sponsor programs with products/services like online adult toy stores, downloadable xxx DVDs, or herbal supplements. All of these Sponsors follow (primarily) the same business model. Most will payout monthly and many payout weekly. Most require you sell at least $50.00-$100.00 worth of their product/service before you will get a check. Quite a few will wire money straight into your bank account.

Selling for a Sponsor is a trade off. You trade your hard work and bandwidth for the ability to sell on a contractual basis. You are paid to for every successful sale and in turn, you don’t have to worry about members, billers, taxes or thieves. Best of all, you get to do it without ever walking a step.

In this class, we’re going to show you how to use Sponsor/Affiliate programs so you can get the green. You’ll learn how to pick the right Sponsor. You’ll understand how payout programs work. You’ll know the difference between a Pay-Per-Click and a Pay-Per-Signup. You’ll grasp the concept of recurring billing and trial memberships. Stick with this class and find out if banner ads are better than text links.

Stay with us and you will soon be able to make good money with Sponsors. Tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of adult webmasters sell only Sponsor programs, products and services on the web. They don’t own paysites and they don’t have to. You can make a living with Sponsors. Keep close to Cozy and get your green on!
