Setting Rates

[Administrator]

When setting rates for your new site..make sure they are not too high. High rates will cause your site to become a ponzi scheme and crash, leaving you with a bad reputation, and some of your members penniless. Your first goal should always be sustainability, everything else is secondary. When setting up your prices for premium packages, don't think you can double the premium earnings just for $50 or so, and that this won't cause you to crash. Here's an example to demonstrate my point:

STANDARD MEMBER:
$0.01 Click, $0.005 ref click.

500 refs, clicking 6 ads a day average: $15
Member clicks 6 times: $0.03
Total: $15.03

PREMIUM MEMBER:
$0.0125 click, $0.01 ref click.
500 referrals, clicking 8 ads average.(This is considering you limit how much is earned depending on how much is clicked.): $40
Member clicks 10 ads: 1.25
Total: $41.25

Which means, in one day, the premium member recovers the upgrade money. Every day after that, you will get in more debt you can't pay. Imagine how bad this would be if you only had 100 premium members at these rates? That's $410 of debt a day..and you won't be getting that much from the ads.

Basically, plan your rates before starting your site, and don't just set random numbers because you think they're nice looking. Do the math!

Yes Admin, I agree this is very important. I am thinking of opening my own ptc, but I want to do the math ahead of time too. High rates are not sustainable.
