Reward Programs

[FShoppe]

What kind of reward programs do you think would be popular?

Obvious 'current' schemese include:

1. High payout per 1000 downloads
2. Affiliate Referral

Regarding these two, obviously the higher the amount, the more popular it would be, but what is an acceptable minimum? Personally I do not believe payouts of $40 / 1000 is sustainable and is actually loss making. It is more likley that $10 / 1000 is the break even point. But would $1, $2, $5 be acceptable?

What about other possible scheme? Such as and uploader sign up bonus? And what amounts are attractive?

25/1000 not to high not to low

Anything else?

PPS best at all

[FShoppe]

Pay per sale? This is what I meant by 'Affiliate Referal'

[thedossetup]

Depends on file size...

[Shahrukh]

Ofcourse PPD will do it as there are not such PPD programs paying right now

Maybe 15/1K DL will do it

[FShoppe]

The PPD model on free downloads is an unsustainable model.

well you are the one who is asking anyway it depend on the file size table if you wanna go with fixed plan go for $5/1K a lot of users will go for it with you hotfile did max $15/1K and survived easily with no PPS and with the worst DCMA reaction in the market so choose either debend on file size or just go with fixed file size wise minimum will be $2 maximum $15 or go with fixed with a low percent of sales/rebil and you will get a lot of users

before all of that make a good servers network coz file sharing is a bandwidth beast

Indeed I am aware that file hosting (and shareing) is a bandwidth beast, but besides the PPDL and PPS reward scheme, what else would be attractive?
