Signups vs Rebills

[BOB777]

Let's keep this one alive it can be very informative if people chip in their thoughts.

I'd be interested to know what kind of rebill ratio you guys get with other membership programs ? And is that something you look at when choosing what sites to promote ???

I was chatting to one of our affiliates the other day who said that we have one of the highest rebill ratios of ANY site that he promotes. He's been with us a little under a year and currently gets around 3 times as many rebills as he does signups.

He only sends a handful of signups each month but has already built up a big membership base so is earning a LOT of money with us without having to do very much. We do all the work our end to drive up the rebills and as time goes on, his membership base is only going to keep growing !

I see a lot of programs out there offering 70% comission or whatever but they rarely update their sites (if ever) or do anything to keep their users rebilling

Whereas we add over 200 updates a month and give them full access to https://www.chickpass.com/ specifically to keep the users engaged

It seems to me that a lot of program owners don't put in the effort and instead are relying on you affiliates to do all the work

Updates the magic words why any program does good with rebills. Good for you and affiliates too.

If you want to make $$$ go with revshare because you will never fully maximize your earnings per hit going with PPS

How can a program survive let alone make money paying out 70% of the sale amount, this seems illogical to me.

1:560 banner clicks is my average this year for trials.

But how many of those go on to rebill ???

Just looking at last months stats, if I take an average affiliate (been with us around 18 months) they did 11 signups and 31 rebills last month. That's nearly 3 times as much income from rebills as they get from signups

This is my point. Its not so much about what percentage you get per signup, its about how many of those signups go onto rebill. Thats where you can really boost your earnings

All good assuming they rebill,and this year is not going good on the rebill front.

Here is my idea if you are always chasing that new signup without rebilling revenue you are always going to work harder than it's worth. I want the rebills period.

I shut everything down in December 2021 and I'm still making money. It's down to a trickle now, but still! Revshare is a wonderful thing

I no longer own any domains, social profiles, websites, hosting... nothing and I'm still getting paid. It's not much nowadays but it's for zero effort.

Thats a good way of explaining it.

The way I see it is its the affiliates who are responsible for the initial signups, but then its solely down to us (the site owners) to drive the rebills. There seems to be so many site owners out there who just dont seem to be pulling their weight. They start with a handful of content and then maybe add one or two updates a month....... and thats NOT going to keep your user on the hook for long

Our strategy has always been to start with a MASSIVE database of content (around 2.5 million pics, 20,000 videos plus access to the chickpass.com network which is about the same size again) and then add around 200 updates a month. Seems to work too as our oldest user joined in 2012 and is still happily rebilling and making his affiliate money

Some sites convert but are not good at rebooks so I use pod for those

Revshare in the beginning but if I see no rebills I switch to pps if they have it or else I dump the site.

Absolutely what I was about to reply.
