We’ve had several affiliates ask why we pay only 35% commission on an MP3 download product.
This is a fair question. The reason is the massive bandwidth costs associated with online summits such as this one. We give away to each person who signs up for the free summit a free, 1 hour download per day. We contract with an outside service to sream all this content. It’s not uncommon for us to spend 15-20% of sales to provide for the bandwidth.
If we at some point move to a different model where we do not offer the free download, but just sell the summit, we at that point could readjust the commission schedule.
The point here is you are offering something free to your customers that has great value. This increases signups substantially, so in theory, what you lose in persentage of sales is made up in volume.
