So a
Jack of all trades and a master of none.
I began my real career selling office furniture to multi nationals in up to 7 figure sums, then moved into advertising, then into porn production/selling. I know a lot more about marketing than most here. Dissecting demographics, knowing what turns people on, catching their attention, drawing them in, etc. It's not what most here call marketing, the dissecting of stats and just collecting traffic in any way possible.
I have always maintained that giving away a product endlessly kills a % of sales. And none of you can disagree with that I hope. The more you give away the higher % you lose in sales. Justifying by saying Data and Ad sales replace the money lost is stupid. In fact very very stupid.
Any site can carry Ads and collect data. Even paysites.
So what do you need to sell a paysite membership? Nothing more than a link to a tour. At the most a single picture. The problem arises with the constant piggy back game we played. We started off with Newsgroups, then link list, then TGP, the video TGPs, then blogs, then small Tubes with compressed scenes, to today. Where we have millions of scenes given away in good quality, certainly better that some years ago, stealing such a high % of sales that the industry is declining.
I know there's nothing to be done about it, until Governments step in, but don't spin crap and BS that you're all making more than you would be selling porn to the 100,000,000 who are getting it for free. Because you can stick ads and collect data on any site.
