This is a small program. There's over 200 programs out there doing the pre-checked cross-sale thing. Most of those 30K surfers who got dinged with a cross-sale will NEVER buy porn again. Not from me, not from you, not from anyone. Now, do the math, multply 10K/mo by 200 and see what number that lands you at. I stuck with 10K/mo despite the fact that most of the bigger programs who pull this shit do much more damage than that. Anyway, once you're done crunching numbers tell me if you still think that diminishing the pool of potential buyers by raping their credit cards is less bad than giving them free porn to watch (something we've been doing for years BTW). |
I am not defending cross sales scams. They suck too, but if you think that most sales are from guys who consistently join sites like they are going out to eat, I believe you are mistaken. That is the logic behind blaming everything on cross sales. You think the very same small pool of surfers are the only ones who join sites, and once they are burned once, they are gone for good. This is true for a percentage perhaps, but the bulk of joins are from new people, who are momentarily horny enough to try something new, and like what you have to offer.
Now when a person conducts a search for almost ANY type of porn (niche or not), they are given tons of links to FREE TUBE SITES!
Especially now, when the economy sucks, people will certainly prefer FREE over having to pay anything.
Once again I must say...
Bullshit! Tube sites and the economy are 90% of the reason sales are down.
Tube sites SUCK SHIT!!!
Every single one of them SUCKS SHIT!
Stop giving away the milk and maybe someone will bother to buy the cow.
Cross sales are maybe 5% of the problem.
Tube sites are the stupidest fucking bullshit fucking crap ass douche bag things on the web!
ALL TUBE SITES SUCK SHIT!!!! - Illegal tube sites suck shit, and LEGAL tube sites suck shit!
If you are currently giving away clips that exceed 60 seconds you are part of the problem!
Cross sales suck - torrents suck - the economy sucks - and (wait for it)...
ALL TUBE SITES SUCK SHIT!!!!
