And that makes us saying the same thing, right in his case and wrong in mine. OK I see it clearly now.
My imagination is coming up with more than yours ever will.
Actually Mutt has given a reason it won't work, his idea and mine. It's too expensive.
I've known this from the beginning of coming into online porn with the content stores.
After the huge costs of traffic, running the site and profit, there never was much left for the product. That's why today programs are opening their own Tube sites, they're cheaper than affiliates and probably a better option.
Over the 11 years I sold direct to paysites the same message came across. They were never able to pay decent money for the product. Great little extra earner from a store after it's earned money sold to offline. But going 100% online as a content store or shooting custom and a store.
.
Online for all the talk about how much money it was making, suddenly had small pockets when it came to the product.
Perfect Gonzo had a great shooter and the site sold. When he went to the DVD market he never came back. Programs were all asking for similar content, that wasn't exceptional, good but not exceptional. Problem was when given the quote they all declined. Not just me, every time.
Same with Party Hardcore.
Vid Viscious is one of the best online shooters, went to DVD and never came back.
Same with offline shooters. They earned absolute minimum $1,000 from a magazine sale on a solo girl set. They still own. ATK, Karups, Mayers Money and many many others wanted us to shoot an exclusive set and video for $300 to $500.
So you ended up pushing sites full of content from shooters who couldn't sell at a better level. And it hurt retention and conversions.
Because they were paying you 50% + giving you everything you need, to build a reason to not spend money on porn online.
See how fucked up that is?
Paying you 10% telling you, this is what you have to promote the sites, now go and work. Would of cut out all the dross from the affiliates areas. It would not of meant 1 less surfer. Those who could survive would make big bucks. Little guys who have to suck off the tit of sponsors would die, well there shouldn't be a tit to suck on.
Now I know what you're going to say.
"And we would of sent our traffic to those paying the most."
And they would of had to put that cost into the cost of a join and customers aren't stupid. They would soon see a site charging $30 is no better than 1 costing $20. Especially if sites start telling them why some charge $30.
Your only excuse is "It's to late to cry over spilt milk." Doesn't make the idiot who knocked the bottle off the table innocent or any brighter.
Still I'm retired and can live out the rest of my life in comfort. You have to keep working to pay your rent.
