For instance, they may pay you $35 on a $4.95 trial but you're paid one time while they get to keep the recurring membership for the life of that member. That $4.95 would, most likely, rebill into a $34.95 memembership monthly. Now, if the site is great and the new member likes what he is getting, he may stay for several months. So, let's assume he stays 3 months. He paid the initial $4.95 plus $34.95 times 3 making a grand total of $109.80 (so paying you $35 for the sign up is justified).
Also, the bigger programs have a slew of ways that they can milk even more money out of the member. Another instance is "upsells" in their members area along with email marketing to current and old members.
The hardest part of a deal is getting a surfer to actually take out his credit card and join. Once you have a lead on who is willing to pay, you can market similar products to that member in order to make additional money.
I could go on and on, but this is the jist of it.
