Content will always be King. Because content is the only thing that brings surfers we can sell to. The problem is 99.9% of sites don't agree and have medium to crap content. Yes it's shot on HD and in focus. Still crap. And boring.

Then Tubes started hammering in the nails. Why pay for this boring recorded porn when it's free?

Or more importantly, why keep trying to sell it when it's being given away for free?

Been saying this for years and been ridiculed, now Shap says it and everyone thinks it's a great idea. Read the message not the Nick before deciding if it's a great or crap idea.

Most solo girl sites failed because there was never enough money to keep the girl working or exclusive. The few that did are exception. Making a Multi Girl version of the solo girl site is the way forward. It can only be done by the big guys and with people behind the operation who understand porn and it's buyers needs.

A great salesman can sell sand in the Desert, or ice to an Eskimo. Once. After that the repeat sales rely on the customers satisfaction with the product.

Selling a repeat buy product relies 90% on the product. Unless you keep buying a product you don't like.

You've got my song sheet there?
