The big question is how to turn it all around?
Obviously the present business model isn't working. So what would?
The solution has to be inside the members area. We've tried just about everything we can outside and that's what brought us to this point.
Here's a few ideas.
Explain to surfers how most Dating sites work, by Geo targeting and hanging on to members for as long as possible. Then giving them links to free dating sites.
Giving away inside the members area live 1-1 chat for a lot less than is available on sites like cams.com. I don't know what they cost at the moment but a large % has to go to affiliates, by removing that the price falls. Sites earn by keeping the member rebilling to get his cheap chat.
Selling a product that can't be given away. Live sex 1-100 or 1-1,000. What ever it takes to make the cost so low a site can afford to add it into their members area. These shows have to be good. A live version of the faked porn on most websites isn't going to retain. So pay girls according to the people watching her and how long they watch her. Kick out bad girl.
The business can no longer afford decent exclusive content. 3 solo scenes for $2,000 isn't enough. A BG for $1500 isn't either. And many sites want it for less.
In major niches the idea that a scene can be saturated in a year is silly. So sell non exclusive scenes enough times at a price that allows the shooter to shoot great content. Say 15 times for a solo girl at $100.
Kick out bad shooters, bad models and the idea that the same scene shot over and over with just changing the girl is worth anything more than a 30 day membership. How many times before this gets boring? A girl getting fucked in the back of a van? Members don't stay because sites don't deserve staying in.
And then there's price and membership. Some customers simply don't want 30 days. They are very content with 30 minutes today and then 30 minutes next week. A 30 day membership only suits the customer who wants to login everyday. Change prices and membership to suit the member, not the affiliates and sellers.
Stop sending traffic to sites that rip off or disappoint customers, you're only hurting yourself. Because how long do you keep hitting yourself with a hammer, does it take until you realise it's wrong? 15 years most customers are very wary.
Quite clearly online porn started in times when customers had little options. Today he does and he CHOOSE those options over ours. We need to change to suit him, not ourselves.
