These are the three main payment types that adult sponsors use to determine your payout.  Some sponsors may offer a choice to use one, another, or more than one, while other sponsors offer one, the other, or simply just one.

Let’s examine each payment option.

Pay Per Sale

• Has larger up front pay amount than PPC,  Revshare, and CPM. Sale amounts range from $20-$200, with $200 being on bonus days.
• No rebills. You get credit for one sale and that’s it. Not every sale is a surfer, and not every sponsor will convert for every website.
• Once you find a pay per sale program that does convert, the payouts can be much larger up front than any of the other options.
• Use this option if you know a program cannot retain members for more than two months. Otherwise, use Revshare.

CPM

• If you have tons of traffic but can’t convert anything to a sale, then running CPM ads are for you.
• These pay per thousand impressions, regardless of how many sales you do or do not convert for whatever is advertised.
• I can only assume that payouts will be higher for quality traffic, and lower payouts for low productivity traffic.
• This is easy money, but you need a lot of traffic to make it worth it.
• If your traffic is of great quality, I don’t advise on using CPM ads in prime locations.

Revshare

• Works like Pay Per Sale except you split the profit with the sponsor.
• Payments per revshare sale can be between $5.00 and $100+ depending on if you sell $10.00 memberships or a live web cam show for $200.
• You earn a sale each month the member renews their membership.
• Less money up front, but possibly more money in the long term.  If a surfer remains a member for three months, then you’ve probably made more money than if you did Pay Per Sale.
• Do this option if you’re sure that a program is able to retain members for at least three months.

Pay Per Click

• Your job is to make surfers click on these text or banner ads and in return you get paid a few cents per click.
• Rack up thousands of clicks and you can earn decent cash.
• Some PPC programs pay on first click, others pay on second click.
• Second click programs sometimes pay more money per click.
• Some programs also pay more for high quality traffic. For example, a person sending 1000 clicks from USA will be paid more than someone sending 1000 clicks from a country considered third world.
• It’s always a good idea to have at least one PPC sponsor on your site to generate extra cash. If you’re having a bad week with conversions, then at least you’re generating cash via PPC.
