There is one solution and only one solution to the present drop in sales, and yes I have the balls and honesty to say we've had a drop in joins. The majority of sponsors telling you they are doing the same of better are mostly lying. And you will find out when you sign up and send traffic. Content production and sales have slumped. They are spending money on sending traffic.
So back to the solution. It's one that we already knows works but we mistook the reason. Bangbus did a great job, it was unique for the time on the Internet or maybe had no competition. It was expensive to shoot and needed setting up which most companies at the time could not afford or could not be bothered to do. And it sold. The problem was people said it was selling because it was exclusive and proceeded to produce or promote exclusive content that was the same as every other exclusive site in the niche.
This is one example of a few sites and there is the problem, there are too few sites that stand out and are worth switching from a Tube site to a paysite for.
So the solution is simple. Sponsors need to sit down and think of the members and then surfers and then affiliates. They need to concentrate on why a guy who buys porn should buy from then and not think about getting 1,000 so one signs up. Don't flame me on the numbers you know what I mean.
They need to think about why a member should stay being a member on their site. And giving them another video of another blond doing exactly the same as the other 100 blonds on the sites are doing is not reason enough. It gets boring after a while. Unless the scene is very good, different and the blond giving her all. Girls used to walk off a set exhausted, now they walk off and rush into the next scene.
They need to create a site that concentrates on a theme that's not ordinary, dull and boring AND on 10,000 other sites. This takes talent, skills and porn knowledge. It is a bit harder than buying a HD camera. Which is a pointless solution when everyone does it. It's the content of the scene that keeps the guy hard, not the clarity of it.
As for the download issue, put Throttlebox on your server.
As for the size of hard drives, 1,000 scenes that are all the same, all boring and all not worth watching are not going to remain on the server for long.
For many members the monthly subscription is wrong. But we don't have it for the affiliates so we can pay them what they need. Who said $5 porn was a stupid idea, the members or the affiliates?
Bottom line is sponsors and affiliates are no longer in control of sign ups. The surfers who will buy porn are. And unless you change that you're pissing into the wind.
Now tell me traffic is king and you can sell any crap porn with traffic.
