Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between Revenue Sharing and Pay Per Signup?

Revenue Sharing (RevShare) is paid on a sliding scale, from 20-35%, based on each month's gross sales, and is paid out for the life of your referred customer's purchases. Pay Per Signup (PPS) is paid on a one-time, flat bounty of $50, based on the first qualified purchase per customer. A qualified purchase is any dollar amount beyond a free sign up (Note: when a free signup converts to a paying customer, you will receive the $50 bounty).

7. What if I made the minimum amount for a payout, but I have not received my check yet?

a.) All domestic (US-based) affiliates are required to send in a W-9 prior to receiving a payout. To get a blank W-9, please contact us or download the PDF (http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf). To send in your W-9, you can fax it to us at (818) 880-9022, email it to your account representative, or email sales@videosecrets.com.
b.) Checks go out on the 15th of every month, and we ask that you allow up to two (2) weeks for checks to get processed through the mail.

8. Where can I see how much traffic I have sent?

Traffic statistics are available on the stats page. Traffic stats are updated every two hours.

9. What are raw hits versus unique hits?

A unique hit is the number of individuals that click your ads/links, while raw hits are the total number of clicks all those individuals have made. Example: if you have 2 people that each clicked 10 times, then you would have generated 2 unique hits, and 20 raw hits.

10. Which should I use, the homepage link or the random webcam link?

The homepage link is great for showcasing all of the live models, and then allowing the customer to choose a specific model, and start chatting. The random webcam link will take your customers directly into a random live chat, thus reducing the number of clicks required to enter.
