The same content, different tour/members area will convert differently like that. It's called split testing.

Manwin is good in employing different shooters.

Some members like the exact same thing from the same person... same style, same total crap... and they buy and retain far past most sites.

Online porn can deliver so much more than recorded porn. Some sites offer live porn. I'm adapting that model to the paysite model.

It has adapted... I can see many vast differences in porn from the mid 90's to today, and even more from the 80's to today, just in the actual content. I dang sure do not sell the same porn today as I did 10-15 years ago... it's vastly better today. Or like above, another form of content adaption is every unique twist, quality level, niche, styles, etc... "variety" is a form of adaption.

Where did I say disadvantage? I simply told you what the facts are, free internet porn is one micro bubble of porn income/traffic to tap into. You're focused on "it" and wondering why your ratios tanked or sales are tough, when the Internet has so many other traffic sources that produce sales, ie: bring your ratios back down.

That wasn't an insult... and, I said people want all different stuff... and not your eye.

A girl 40 hours a week is going to cost from around $400 a week. $1600 a month. At $10 profit a sign up that's 160 sign ups, increase of 16%, will it perform that well? sites with 10,000 members only need an increase of 1.6%.
|
No, it will not perform that well. Sure, 10k member sites could prob make a few people happy... but so would updating more, being that is what they actually purchased and all.

No, that's not an insult.. you've stated it from your own mouth before. So I was slightly off one one thing and I missed everything about you?

Right right... I think in the box and you're doing live cams finally..

The way so many talk I would of thought quite a few.

No, I'm reading your posts dead on.... the 1:1 was me mocking you.
10k members is 300k a month, many sites make 300k a month - but that size isn't needed to have some fun. You really only need about 20 sales a day, 15-20k a month for a site, to really start doing more updates, new features, live stuff, etc... however, it's all comes down to what the surfer expects. If you sell them 5 videos, that's what they expect. If you sell them daily updates, that's what they expect. If you produce hq content, your surfers expect it, if it's amateur shot gf stuff, that's what they expect....
It's that simple, adaption is providing "them" with "exactly" what they want, when they want it and how they want it. Not changing what they're getting - what they purchased, not making it different... which means you're now attracting a different group of people and your leaving out those that expect to get exactly what was sold to them.
