Anonymous Sales Poll - Be Honest!

[BFT3K]

How many sales per day are you currently making in adult?

No one knows who you are, so just be honest.

[Barefootsies]

Depends on the site.

2-4 a day on new tube pay site(s).

Much more than that on clip store sales. I would say 20+ on those.

[woj]

why did you stop at 10? 10 sales = barely 100k/year

[Agent 488]

of course everyone here makes more than 10 p/day.

If you only run one site.

I think even small programs, and independents typically run more. Even if 2-3 sites.

I do not think this poll would apply to the bigger BROgrams as they have 50 sites, and a lot more traffic and resources then the smaller companies, or individuals. My guess is the poll is targeting the small programs, and independents.

Could be wrong.

You're right - small programs and independent sites. I should have clarified. Thanks!

[The Porn Nerd]

We have three websites in my network that do 25+ sales daily, and five that do 10+ daily, with the rest averaging 0-5. We have 17 sites, with two more to launch next month.

But hey, everything's relative, right?

Good info.

Thanks for sharing.

[Nicky]

5-10 As an affiliate since I own no paysites currently(about to change though).

[After Shock Media]

Sadly with my own sites and affiliate sales I am now down to 5-10 per day on average.
FUCKING SUCKS ASS.

Glad I rebill well.

Also know I need to work more but well I have more medical crap to deal with soon so my mind is a little out of it.

[Iron Fist]

You didn't have an option for 25 sales a day

[BFT3K]

Interesting results so far. Let's keep it going.

[FrozenJag]

More then 10 per day.

No im not a big baller, but normally do 10 to 12 sales per day on average. Sometimes less sometimes more.

Avg. for OCT. is 10.1

btw. This is pure affiliate. My paysite isnt launched yet, just sending a little of my own traffic to finish testing things out.

No more money in adult, tubes killed adult business.

[DebsDeep]

2-4 for us on about 800 uniques daily

10 sales per day x $40 a sale is $144k a year.

[Elli]

$40 a sale? Interesting number there.

[BFT3K]

50 votes cast. Interesting poll results so far.

[Jakez]

With the amount of brain dead posts and threads around here I highly doubt the majority are doing 10+ daily. Take it for what it's worth.

[DebsDeep]

hmm....Some of yas arent being honest here

[st0ned]

10+ every day, wont elaborate from there though.

Well, this is clearly not a scientific or verifiable poll, and it certainly does not include EVERYONE in adult by any stretch, but the results are still pretty interesting.

Hopefully more people will vote. It is anonymous, so there's no reason not to cast a vote for fun, and maybe learn some good info as well.

62 votes cast so far!

[LoveSandra]

Interesting results

[BFT3K]

Currently 55% UNDER 10 sales per day, and 45% OVER 10 sales per day.

Keep it going!

Impossible to ever know for sure, but as this is an anonymous poll, lying doesn't make too much sense.

[TheStout]

Wow 31 people sending 10 + that have voted in this thread. Not bad at all

That is beer worthy.

So far 32 votes are for 4 sales a day or less, so I guess it all depends upon how you look at it...

[Argos88]

Obviously they are not being honest here...

If everyone was doing so much money, there would be more people here.. and traffic is going down MONTH AFTER MONTH..

when you try to sell something like a very good domain or a good site, you don't get offers... nobody buys anything like in the past...

in the past traffic was 1000% higher than now in this very same forum... you could sell domains or sites right away... now it's clearly that there is a lack of money in this community... and everyone is trying to sell an image of fake goodness and profit to try to be popular...

correct, now all you guys go flip burgers and get out while you can!!!

[Ginn]

Looking at the results i think i do something wrong. I want more sales!

[BFT3K]

Over 20% of votes so far = 1 sale or less per day.

[Shap]

I hate to be a dick but if any of you that replied <5 have been in this business full time for more than a year you really need to quit now. I'd almost say if you replied <10 and have been doing this full time for a year you should move on. If you are working day in and day out and working hard at this and can't get 10 signups a day you are in the wrong business. The sooner you realize that and move on with your life the better. There is no point in wasting valuable time in your life at something you aren't good at. It's better to move on and find something you are good at.

[Shap]

Btw I say that speaking from experience. When I started in this business I had a friend that started with me. I took off and kicked ass almost immediately. He sputtered and sputtered and had excuses why he wasn't making money. The reality was our industry wasn't for him. He went on to start a HUGE (and I mean Huge) mainstream site and sold out for mucho deniro (8 figures). Just because he failed in adult didn't mean he wasn't smart. He's one of the smartest guys I know. Adult just wasn't for him and the day he left and gave up on it was probably the smartest thing he every did.

[Bomberoso]

Pointless poll... The McDonalds where I'm a WEEKDAY SHIFT ----SUPERVISOR----- currently sells over 300 combos a day

Just to play devils advocate...

7 sales a day at around $20 p/transaction exceeds $50K p/year. The average salary in the US is $30K so unless a few of the guys on the board are also secret doctors, lawyers, or rocket scientists, it is still better than most alternative professions.

Mickey Dees ain't payin anywhere near that!

True. But if you are doing 7 sales a day after 2 years full time work it's only a matter of time before you are a goner. It's cool to make that money but it's probably smart to start looking for what you'll be doing over the next 5, 10, 15 years. I'd say find a way to do this part time and try to find what your career or long term plan will be. That way you are making money and setting yourself up long term.

Of course I view this as a business. So to many people my post may sound like their dad talking to them and they will want to wipe their ass with my opinion. I'm Just giving my professional advice to those looking to be successful

That's good advice, but even if you are doing great in adult today, it is unclear what tomorrow will bring. It is always a good idea to diversify, and keep your future options open.

Running a dangerous cult in your spare time for example...

True. I didn't want my post to come off wrong. It's the same advice I'd give a close friend or family member. I believe I've given a few friends that exact advice in the past. I told them to set realistic goals and if they couldn't hit them then move on.

I'd agree with the diversify to a point. I think if you are in the middle area it's good advice. IE If you are at a point that your success isn't great but is better than average. If you are let's say FreeOnes then I completely disagree with you. If I were FreeOnes I would not diversify out of adult unless I really had the time or an unbelievable opportunity to do so. That is how I've approached our business. We've done very well. Far better than I could have ever imagined. Splitting my attention and diversifying outside of my strength and knowledge base is a risky move. If the risk was worth it (ie a great opportunity came up) then I'd say it's worth trying. But if I was diversifying simply to not have all my eggs in one basket then that would be a huge mistake.

I would say that my success really took off when I stopped worrying about diversifying. When I said fuck it, I'm in Porn and I'm going to kill it, make as much as possible and then retire from this. That is when I killed it and exploded. Before that I was always thinking about mainstream ideas and how I could build something acceptable or respectable to most people. You have to do what you are best at. Right now my time is best spent doing what I'm doing

No offense Menudo, while I expect these kind of stomp out your dreams posts from the BROgrams. I simply think they are vastly oversimplified - let me take a piss in your face posts. Whether you meant it that way or not is another thing. However, that is how it reads.

If someone is knocking back 5 sales a day, and doing this 2-3 hours between burger shifts, then they are doing some nice extra money and may eventually go full time. If a small program has 3-5 sites and doing that on different sites, they are doing ok. Add in some clips stores and other revenue streams and they are over 100k easily.

As I said Livin La Vida Loca, no offense to you. But those couple of posts do not accurately sum up the industry, nor what is considered 'successful' to many. As the O.P. has pointed out.

I think you missed my point.

I said if someone has been working full time and (in total) does less than 10 sales a day then they should start thinking about moving on.

I didn't say anything about part timers. About one site doing that much. I said if someone's entire full time effort over a prolonged period of time yields less than 10 sales a day then they should move on.
