It needs to tone down... show mostly your site... and create a free account by simply picking a username and continue. I would likely completely redo your home page, incorporate a free trial with only a few vids and then, after a free member, show all the other sites available. Upsell them after the free join  |
First, Thank You for your input. Now a couple things which may alter your input:
1.
www.misterpeabodyworld.com is merely my network homepage, a central place for all the tours to link to, a "hub". I never send any "direct" traffic there; surfers go there to check out the Updates, or to learn more about me/the network. Sure, I make sales from that site but only a handful.
I send direct traffic to the tours themselves, like here:
http://www.erosexotica.com/index1.html
2. I've A-B tested both stand-alone tours (where I don't advertise the rest of the network) and what you see now; 8-1, or 8x more sales WITH that table of thumbs at the bottom advertising the network. I don't care how ugly it looks, it
works.
3. Because everything is "linked up" we get tons of sales from "bounce around" traffic; someone comes to ErosExotica but joins MILF Mia, etc (and vice versa). Affiliates may think those are all "traffic leaks" but because I'm a CCBill sponser the aff gets credit no matter which site they send traffic to. In other words, someone sends traffic to Chubby Blondy from their BBW blog, and they get a sale from Amazing Cleo, etc. Once affiliates realize this they get SUPER HAPPY and just start pumping hits, and everyone wins.
Having said all of the above, some tours in my network are "whales", some are steady performers, some do so-so and some act merely as "bonus sites". In the end, my bottom line coninues to grow so ultimately, while I'm still building my network/empire, I don't really care. When I start to concentrate on building purely traffic sites/sources (later this year) I suspect even more growth.
4. Lastly, I don't believe in free memberships or trials. Perhaps through free sites or some such but I've also tested $1 trials, $2.95 trials, even odd-pricing/length trials, like $3.95 for 3 days, etc. I believe, if someone wants to Join they'll fucking pay the thirty bucks. Those cheap/hesitant bastards who go for the trials? Fuck 'em. Come back when you're serious, boy.
Plus, I do "splits" with models and producers, and how do you "split" $1? LOL IF I'd get tons more actual memberships then believe me, I would do trials. I just don't.
Everyone's got a differant business model that works for them, right?
