I filmed a handful of very crappy cell phone videos of a guy sucking my cock and posted them on Xtube with my watermark and they threw me out for "Spamming". The tubes wont post my videos because I dont have a reseller program as my monthly price is so low.
Lately its earning me around $50 or so a day. At the height it was making me $100 and sometimes $150/day. I make an extra few hundred dollars a year from PPV theater and sex toy sales. But now its dying.
I thought being microniche would make the site more sticky but I'm so late in the game, most gay hookup sites were established years before mine and these days with Grindr & Growlr people are used to getting everything for free on their phone. And with tubes they REALLY don't expect to pay for anything. I'm lucky to be getting that $50 on it.
Im wondering if theres anything I can do or is this niche just too competitive and not enough money left to go around?
I'd really like to be making $200-300 a day.
Maybe someone works this business and has more experience. I dont mind switching niches I just want to keep working and make more money

Hey altman,
Have you ever thought of doing a co-reg, on one side you keep your data, and on the others you monetize with another dating platform, hit me up and let's try to make some cash together ;)
