It is no wonder that a lot of people in this industry either completely fail, or are having a hard time in this famine economy.... You look at your customers as pea brained apes who have no choice, or original thought in the matter. They are just there to see some tits with credit card in hand, and are happy to have been graced by your site and content.
They are just surfing the web for porn daily, and then get to your site, see tits and momba womba as if in a trace, pull out their credit cards. Get hit with their 12 different cross sales. Enjoy your 50 scene pay site that has not been updated since 2001. They send you some email, you do not answer. Refuse to cancel their subscriptions. Then sell them, and their information off to the next porn company for $0.50.
Fucking Christ.

Yes, fucking cross sells and just being a stupid fuck to your customers. I have never done that shit and never will. But, I was a surfer before I was a pornographer. And remembering things I hated about buying a subscription, I made sure not to do, when I was lucky enough to start my own paysite. And remember, surfers remember EVERYTHING! If your a paysite owner and were ever shady, perhaps this is the "goes around" part of the old adage, "what comes around, goes around. Not in any way directed at you, Mister Markham, just saying.
