LIFE LESSON #26:
There are TWO types of porn "fans":
1. Those who just want to whack off, have a pop, get a quick orgasm and move on. It's like eating cookies to them: I'm hungry, what's in the pantry? Well, I really like Chips Ahoy but all there's only Oreos...well, Oreos are free and I don't feel like dragging my ass to the store so GULP. Ahhh that felt good! Now what did I have to do with the rest of my day?
2. Afficionados. The "discerning" consumer. Someone who loves porn but loves HIS kind of porn (whatever that may be). Fetish? Niche? Sure - but even guys who just like POV (so they can fantasize it's their dicks getting sucked/fucked) or big titted blondes or group sex or MILFs...THESE kind of porn fans WILL buy but only for something they consider "woth it".
SO: It's OUR jobs to stop concentrating on porn fan #1 because, honestly, he just wants to come and doesn't really care who/why/how/where etc. Therefore, we need to focus on porn fan #2: buy OUR shit because it fulfills what you want (and need?).
There's also an age factor: younger porn fans raised on free shit are disinclined to pay for something they've always gotten for free. So fuck the under-30's (they usually have little to no $ anyway). When you get to the over 40's - those with money, busy lives and responsibilities - they WILL PAY, for the convenience of not searching through free tubes for hours JUST to find that short-haired big-titted blonde they love to jerk it to.
So what do "older" porn fans WANT? Design your tours for THEM, focus your marketing skills on THEM, appeal to THEM and their needs. And guess what? Most people in this category do NOT want to visit a porn tour that looks like they just walked into a Red Light District in Amsterdam. Flashing GIFs, this element POPPING in their face, music screeching in their ears.....
Finally, if you're an under-40 adult webmaster then chances are you're struggling BIG TIME. NOT because you didn't get into the biz soon enough but because the way you view the world doesn't "match" your customer's expectations. You're marketing like a 28 year old and have no clue what the 44 year old porn BUYER wants, and what will motivate him to open his wallet.
So check yoself b4 you wreck yoself.
