This is assuming everyone can get off to the same thing. Also that anything, and everything, 'hits da spot'. It is this thinking that inhibits many in the adult industry apparently. Not everyone can get off to some cheap, poorly encoded, generic porn. Clips4Sale has shown people this (i.e. customized, personalized, tailored fresh porn).

As previously pointed out in many threads, you have people willing to PAY $9.99+ for a SINGLE 9 minute scene. There are people who repeatedly buy under this business model on a daily basis. So if a CLIP STORE can sell a SINGLE SCENE for $9.99 and you can't sell 100 or 1000 scenes, hours of content, tons of models, for $29.95 a month, then you need to dig deeper as to why you can't sell porn any longer. As you have clearly lost touch with the consumer. Their wants, and needs.

Keep in mind, not directed at you per se. Simply works better in first person.
No, that was just MY mind and I was an avid porn consumer for about 15 years. However, there are millions of guys just like me.

I sold porn when it was only available via VHS and mail order photos. I sold porn when it moved to DVD and digital photos. Now I've been selling porn online for close to 13 years now. It is not as complicated as everyone makes it out to be. Some try too hard to analyze it and forget that 9 times out of 10 it's just a guy wanting to blow his load. Now, if you want to aim for that 1 out of 10 who wants an experience, go for it. I'm gonna stick with my 9, as it's never failed me.

Sure, you have some people who are willing to buy anything at any price, but the majority of them still simply want to rub one off and get back to whatever it is they were doing, and do so before the wife or GF comes home. The reason for wanting porn has not changed simply because the manner in which we deliver it to them has.

Bottom line is, build the best sites you can in a niche you enjoy, take care of your members, and try to keep piracy under control. Trying to turn it into a science is a waste of time. There is NO logic when it comes to a man with a hard cock in his hand and 2 balls ready to blow. Any of you with a penis should know this already.
