Webmasters wanted for Strictly Broadband

Strictly Broadband, our new broadband movie rental service, has been live for 2 months, and starting to pick up steam. We are now ready to start taking on a limited number of webmasters on a revenue-share basis (30% of your customers' purchases for the lifetime of the customer).

For now, you'll need to mail me to get an account set up, with details of where/how you intend to promote the service. SPAM promotion is strictly prohibited, unless you can demonstrate you have your own double opt-in list!

Thanks,
Jerry

Our conversions are very good... At 30%, we're paying out higher per click than most, apparently more generous deals.

One reason it's relatively low is that we pay a high royalty on every sale to the content owner. This raises our cost of operation over the typical "ONE MILLION VIDEO CLIPS!!!" type web site, but the difference in quality is apparent.

I have been talking to some US based VOD suppliers but would be keen to work with someone offering many of the same titles and studios etc as I sell currently to let my customers "try before they buy" as such but as it stands at the moment at ?5.99 per movie for 3 days I think its too expensive (especially taking into account my sale price for a title).

If you did something on a scene by scene or VOD basis then this is something I might be interested in - have you any plans to change from time restricted, complete movie only tickets in the future?

If you can get some of the producers on board that are not blocking up the shelves in our favourite R18 stores or the online outlets you'll do a storm. The problem we have is most of the other sites sell the same old same old as each other because they have no idea how to break a release. Problem is the only way for them to generate sales is price slash so by getting some of the other makers of British porn on board ?6.99 will be cheap.

Its been funny to read some of the comments that people have left especially the one suggesting you should change your buisness approach.


I'm sure you'll do well and be making money

The pricing works pretty well, based on our current conversion rates. We don't plan to offer the pay-per-minute option some of the US guys are doing, but *may* start selling individual clips in future.

Please drop me an email if you'd like to discuss further.

We're adding several new titles per week, and taking on new studios on a regular basis. You'll see more diversity of content over a period of time... currently, the site's working well so we don't plan to shift the approach drastically.

To webmasters who think that 30% is low, I'd say suck it and see... take the Thousand Click challenge and see what size cheque arrives the following month!

Well let me see - unless my maths is seriously fucked up, there has been one reply to the original post apart from mine and yours and the other post is commenting on the low affiliate payout rate which has jack shit to do with business approaches whereas mine mentions alternate business approaches..... I wonder where I got the impression that it was about me from???
