Paul's idea may not be viable/new/sustainable as it is, but if one thing I have learned is that there is often "value in madness". And I have seen many, many times businesses built on some idea that everybody was dismissing as silly or impractical at the beginning.
Of course most mad ideas turn out to be actually mad - but encouraging open thinking will turn out the right ideas. Dismissing ideas too fast, won't help.  |

Thanks guys.
So far how have paysites progressed from 1995? They went from largely images sites to very small videos and as hosting and speeds got better the size of the videos improved. In the early days everyone was worried about content that could be delivered on a dial up connection. Later as hosting and BW got cheaper HD came into being and sites went to HD.
So all the innovation of the paid model was zero. All they did was based on the speed of connections and hosting costs improving. They're still trying to sell pre-recorded content at largely the same price as they did 15 years ago. Yes sites have got bigger and more numerous but basically it's the same model that was being sold 15 years ago at a similar price. The innovation in online porn has been on the part OUTSIDE the members area. The advances in ways to deliver free porn to the consumer have increased and got better over the years. And paysites have suffered.
So why are some people flaming me and comparing this idea to C4S which it's nothing like?
Then it hit me. They are thinking micro payments might mean micro earnings for affiliates. It might even reduce the need for affiliates.
Could a system like this be built? Yes it's just an adaption of web cams.
Can it be billed? Yes, it's 1 lump payment, could be $1 for one show, or $??? for as long as ???? At the end of the billing period the member has chosen he pays more or leaves.
Can models be found? To right they can. A good girl earning a decent amount per show on her own performance will have them lining up outside the door.
WILL IT APPEAL TO SURFERS?This is the big one. Will surfers prefer a real micro payment site of live good performances over a site with pre recorded scenes or often very badly faked porn?
And that's the big question. How many will watch it and pay?
1,000 every 20 minutes = 3,000 an hour
= 72,000 a day.
Say the same guys logging in once a week.
72,000 X 7 = 504,000
Could 10 sites with 50,400 members feeding into the same plug in provide the membership?
Could Manwin with their Tube traffic do it? Only if they convert 1-40
As I said the figures are purely to explain the idea. It could be the cost per minute is 15 cents, the members might check in twice a week, the shows might go on for 30 minutes. Feed those figures into the statistics and you come out with a very different figure.
If for instance the girl earns $200 for 20 minutes and the system can be built by members on it's popularity to run 24/7 then what will be left?
$200 for the girl = $1800 left or $5,400 per hour $129,600 per day. $47,304,000 per year to run the site and provide a profit.
The idea hangs on the surfers willingness to buy and stay buying. Like every thing we now sell. Will a surfer think $2 for a good live show when he wants to watch is better than a free recorded show on a Tube or $30 a month for recorded videos?
