Hey Dianna
Minutes are the number of minutes all the Swoit members spend on your sites.
At the end of each day, we look at the total number of minutes you have accumulated for that day compared to the total minutes for all sites (ie.a percentage).
Then we just apply that percentage to 40% of our entire daily rebills.
So 100 minutes 1 day might give you $20
Then 100 minutes another day may give you $800 - it all depends on the day

It sounds all good in theory. Is the accounting done real time in stats/admin?
The concept is really cool. It’s not like anything I’ve seen before and I think you’ve got a real winner here Steve. If the affiliate end works well and you get tons of traffic, some webmasters will do very well. Then again, as you’ve mentioned, there’s the webmasters who will try and treat it like an AVS and use it purely for up-selling and use a little content as possible. The billable view minutes make it fool-proof in a sense.
I’m excited about it. I just may build some new sites to cover some of the niches on sites you don’t have there.
When do you expect to start getting some traffic?
Anyone who hasn’t taken the time to look at this, it’s really a great idea. It’s basically paying you to serve content in your member’s area. Or you can easily promote the program via the affiliate program because something like this will retain really well. It’s giving subscribers a chance to join dozens of sites all for the price of one. If you’ve got a great site subscribers want to bookmark, stay on and return to, you’ll make money that way. If you send traffic you make money every month even if you don’t have a site.
