I just realized you said "new" sales. That puts a different perspective on it. I'm going to say 5-10. An example would be CE. I'd bet they are BILLING several thousand joins a day, but I'm not so sure they're doing 1000 NEW joins.
I could be wrong though......

Yeah , NEW joins.
Also "several thousand" ??
Like 5 or 6 thousand a day??
5000 @ say $40 = $200,000......
Naw.....
I remember The General Explaining to me about the "tail" too. Once.
In simple terms...you have 50,000 members.
You recur at 60%
No new members means next month you have 30,000 members.
To stand still , you need 700 new joins a day , best way.
Also the other thing to worry about with the tail..
Is 100,000 transactions per mth , 900 cb = happiness.
30,000 transactions a mth , 900 cbs = misery.
Can the "Old Time" big affiliate programs survive?
note - I fully accept I may be talking out of my ass here , its just that these discussions are coming up privately quite often.
So I thought I'd try and get some opinions
