APCW Poll : Healthy Income

You might want to qualify that statement Integrity – so that we can answer?

It might simply mean over $1,000 per year?
Or over $10,000 per year ?

Or you may have consistancy qualifiers as well …

For instance “healthy income” might mean :
– In profit 75% of the time (9 months of 12).
– Totalled $10,000 in the last year. ( ave $800 per month)

Any guidelines ?

I leave these things somewhat interpretive for a reason =0)

A webmaster who makes $30,000 a month is going to consider a program paying him $200 a month a dog…

A webmaster making $2,500 a month may think that $200 a month is a vital part of their bottom line…

It’s all releative, aint it?

Makes for a thoroughly meaningless poll though.

Take the sum that you earn total at the end of any given month.
Whatever that may be.

Then have a look at how many casinos you needed to send you money to achieve that sum.

Then take a look at how many casinos send you the bulk of that sum. (On a regular basis)

Actually pretty simple IMO.

Well I answered 2-3. I have 2 programs that make up the bulk of my earnings. I also have 4-5 others each month that pay me a small amount, but combined they make up a tidy sum. I hope this helps…

It has also a lot to do with what type of site(s) you are looking at.

Regardless of monthly income level, if you have a site with a lot of return visitors you need to offer more choices because otherwise visitors will run out of things to click on.

If you have the “get them in, get them to click, get them out” kind of site, less choices will do better for you. Not so many decisions to make.

You’re all correct…

Gooner, I’m not mad. I’ve just been doing this long enough to know that no one can possibly please everyone… trust me, I’ve tried! :happydanc

The APCW was set up to be a very sterile group in that we want to just report data and let each webmaster make their own business decisions. We learned our lessons at the old GPWA about what works and what doesn’t.

There are many many things I’d like to do with APCW, but they just aren’t practical. It would be nice to have an ROI stat, for example, but only a small percent of webmasters report the simple stats I request now. Participation is the key… and it’s always in short supply.

This poll was left a little vague on purpose, and here’s why:

LETS SAY BOTH WEBMASTERS PROMOTE THE SAME 10 PROGRAMS:

Webmaster “A” makes $50,000 a month… 30% of his income comes from one group ; 50% from another

Webmaster “B” makes $10,000 a month… 30% of his income from one group ; 30% from another, and 30% from a third.

Webmaster “B” has more programs giving him a healthy income than Webmaster “A” does, even though “A” makes more cash…

See, it’s all relative =0)
