Wow! Instant Results For A Change!

It's been a long time since I've seen one little addition to my biz model produce instant traffic and conversions, and am so happy that I stumbled across this one. Promises to be a Merry Christmas!

I, like all of the other paysite owners in the industry have screwed around for years with alternative consumer payment options, ranging from dialers (EEEK!) to all of the current alternative billing solutions.

The one aspect that I was just plain STUPID about for all these years was adding more "International Friendly" options to pay out my affiliates. "Check Only" was the rut we were stuck in.

But, late last week, I added Epassporte as a webmaster payment option and, frankly, I've never seen so many international webmasters step up to the plate after a small press release! Fantastic European traffic surge with some of the best conversion ratios I've seen since 1998!

Moral of the story? Look at things from the viewpoint of webmasters not in the good old USA. They have a lot of the really good-converting traffic these days, and really appreciate a simple solution that pays in Euros and doesn't take 4 weeks for a check to arrive and clear.....;-)
