I thought this post was about an explosion in porn, not a solution to "some" peoples problems.

If you want to make more money/traffic/sales, it's "very" easy.. Stop marketing in the same places online as every other adult site in the world. It's that simple.

I bet you are doing the same thing online and offline that you were 3, 6, 8 years ago.. 99% of us are, so it's not a bash - but that is what the real problem is.

Not the cost of memberships, not tubes or piracy, it's marketing.. period.
So we keep marketing a product at $30 while everything goes down?

Yes moving from a $30 to a, for instance, $3 might initially lead to less. But if it's combined with us giving more than just a means to DL video or sets it could lead to a % of the buyers who in truth fund the Tubes we close them down. We need to price closer to the buyers needs and not to ours.

Not knocking you as I agree we need to step out of the "video/sets download" box and into something else. I'm doing live shows and it's working, got to do some design work and then tell the affiliates, I also increased the size of the site and considering the price angle (2 months for $30). Maybe a 24/7 online girl to chat with customers might be a good move.

I'm trying things not just dreaming Tubes and Torrents will close of their own accord.

Got any suggestions other than "marketing"?
