Does this sound fair to you?

Hey there, I'm new here

So I've signed up with an sms-payment gateway provider that also specializes in surveys. I found them to be great but then I noticed something odd..

I got my first 4 sms sales valued at around $3. The funny thing is that my cut is : $ 0.35, haha. I really do believe in my idea and once i fully takes off, there will be a lot of money to be made but with this small cut, I'm starting to worry a bit. It is so bad that I'm losing on it.

I could of course increase the cost but then, nobody would be interested in paying through sms, and it would also affect the offers which would end up in nobody completing them, since they won't generate as much.

What's your experience with providers such as this and do you also end up with receiving a small cut? :confused:

These are CPA offers using mobile submit or actual SMS submit? Personally the payout is so low that unless its really cheap or easy to generate leads it doesn't sounds like it would be worth your time when there are many higher paying submit offers.

Doesn't sound to be profitable... but consider that you're making sales... now it's all about tweaking your offer, whether that be price, or negotiating to get a higher cut.

Look into adding upsells, or other offers down the road to increase revenues.
