YNOT – Gay adult video-on-demand provider NakedSword, a division of AEBN, has left its former berth within the AEBN-owned GunzBlazing affiliate network to launch its own affiliate program. A spokesman for the company said NakedSword staff will manage the program from the company’s San Francisco headquarters.

NakedSword Cash pays up to $40 per sign-up or as much as 60-percent recurring revenue share.

“Building an affiliate program on par with the breadth and depth of our brand is the latest step in what is proving to be a landmark year for us,” NakedSword founder and Chief Executive Officer Tim Valenti said. “As our affiliate business has grown, so have our needs; therefore, it’s time for NakedSword to own the activities related to the running and operation of our affiliate program.”

Earlier this year, the 12-year-old company embarked upon a renewal-and-expansion program that so far has included adding an in-house production arm, NakedSword Originals, helmed by award-winning director mr. Pam. The company also upgraded the infrastructure underlying its family of websites.

Most recently, Valenti and his crew undertook a top-to-bottom remodel of flagship website NakedSword.com.

“As we began developing NakedSword Cash, we took a second look at the main site and decided that we can do even better, so we took the opportunity to take our front end and members area design on NakedSword.com to a whole other level,” he said.

Earlier this month, GunzBlazing co-founder Raging Stallion left the affiliate program to join the Next Door Buddy Profits affiliate program, a division of Gamma Entertainment. Raging Stallion also is an AEBN subsidiary.
