The Triannual Report - A Catman Rant

CJ, I tried sending them to a couple of the remaining major Celebrity sponsors and they just did't seem to convert that well. Not like they used to. I dont have a ton of celeb type ins so maybe I didnt give it a long enough shot to average out.

I also tried sending them to that sponsor prog that promoted her video. I couldn't get anyone to buy. They would download but who's gonna pay $50 to view something like 5 times. I think it was marketed poorly. Should of gave surfers a permanent copy for say 10 bucks and gave partners say $3 to $5. 5 years ago it might have done better. But maybe others did better.

I found the best thing is sending them to the free zines. They converted well. But lately they are waning a bit too. Celeb seems to still be worth at least 1 cent a type in with the zines so I'll stick to them for now. But that also seems to be dropping like a rock the last month or so.

Mr Skin has a real nice tour now days. I could prob get better than 1 cent with them. But I'm not a fan of CCBill. I cant seem to recur with them that well.

Uncle Scoopey when CE had it was the best. That used to get some great conversions.

True Celebs has a really hot looking tour. Might try them some more.

Thing is with such a few Celeb sponsors anymore most surfers have been previously pitched on almost every sponsor. Even type in surfers. Time is not a salesman's friend. You cant keep promoting the same old stuff forever.
