Good recurring progs you got to have or someday you will be hurting.
I wish I could name names. I dont mind but prob should not. Then another 3-4 progs progs keep trucking along with 2-3 members recurring. That helps a lot.
THIS is how this biz works. There are still some good recurring progs who ARE the REAL winners!
Of course the PPS progs who pay you then keep the long recurs are winners! too.
BUT we want YOU to be winning! So dont forget those long straggler rebillers and get some rebill progs.
Why do I say this?
To THANK the real progs in this biz who ARE updating and ARE holding onto their members. Like I say good PPS companies do too as they are actually good recur progs in reality just that they keep the recurs.
So thanks to them both.
101 stuff for most but oh well I'm hitting "post" |
Good posts and some good comments.
I posted on another board asking the question if most of online only porn can actually afford to have good recurring sites. My belief is the majority can't, the profit simply isn't there for most.
Forget about the few sites who today profess to have lots of money. And think about theses figures. They are used as an example, so don't shoot the actual figures before you think about it.
A good solo girl scene shot by a good shooter, with some innovation, imagination and porn quality will cost quality will cost $1,000 per scene. Unless the site owner shoots it and only a few site owners can shoot good porn. Updating 1 set or video a day will cost $50 per update.
50 scenes = $50,000
30 updates = $15,000 a month.
So the first months content costs $65,000 and then $15,000 recurring.
At a monthly membership of $30 and allocating $5 to the content only got the site that means. 1,000 members recurring to pay for the initial content and 100 a day for the updates has to go to the content budget.
Very few start up sites can achieve that without massive promotion and that costs money. By the time the site is up and launched fully functioning what are ALL the costs after the first month?
Someone with more skill at this than me need to chip in here.
I've spoken to enough big time sponsors who would of liked to buy exclusive content from us, but simply couldn't afford it. They could and did afford to buy from people who were shooting a lot cheaper.
This effected conversions and retention. But it was cheaper to throw tons of traffic at a site rather than build a site that would really work.
Look at the few solo girl sites that do work well, Alsscans, Abbey Winters, Met Art and a few others.
Mostly we expected customers to keep recurring when we didn't give them good enough reasons to. The long time recurring member is a rare breed and not the norm. Long term = over 1 year.
