We give our product away at the favored point of consumption.
Can you actually show where they state they spend $600 million solely on iTunes advertising? Clips from You tube, don't show a cost of $600 million.
My other point is simple. Traffic isn't King in porn. Getting men to look at porn is very easy. Every single affiliate does it to some extent. The hard part is getting them to buy it. Getting traffic is easy. Getting enough to sell a product that's better for free than when it's paid for is bloody hard. Sign Ups are King, Retention Emperor.
Free hits consumers "Hot Buttons"
far better than paid. If you're in marketing you'll know that phrase, maybe by a different name but it's all te same.
A Consumers Hot Button. Is the needs he has that a supplier has to fill in order to sell. In porn they're often as not these.
Hitting the niche right. (And all that involves in getting the porn right.)
Delivery.
Ease of access.
Trust.
And that's about it. If you can get those right you can sell porn easily. If not then you're left with throwing as many surfers as possible at a site and hoping the site hit's someones hot button.
Major tubes for most people do hit all those buttons.
You can sort through the sites for the right niche, hit right. In most cases. Delivery is great, there when you want it. Ease of access couldn't be easier. Trust, need I say more? The odds on getting scalped on a paysite are far higher than ever on a Tube site.
Paysites don't. Once the money is spent the buyer is often stuck into a site that has low level porn. Usually produced to cheap by a producer who can't get better paid work or shot by the site owner themselves to save cost. Don't tell me about the few who get it right. Met-Art prove what happens when the members area is good.
Delivery, some sites are a bit of a jumble, but both free and paid are level here.
Ease of Access, Tube beat paid hands down on this. No registration, no CC, no membership. Watch once an hour or once a month. All the same with free.
Trust. If you are not paying the odds on getting scammed are less. Less not removed, yes some Tubes can install viruses onto a computer. The big ones treat customers well.
These reasons are why consumers prefer free. iTunes and their ads, don't have ads that are superior to their product, from the consumers POV. In porn that's abundantly clear with 1,000s consuming free for 1-2 buying. Don't nit pick figures, you know it's the right principal.
Think about this with an open mind and come back with a debatable point. Or just throw hate, it makes no difference to me. It does to you and your future employment.
