Guys use to jerk off to pictures of girls from the Sears Catalogue, because that was all they could get.

Then someone showed a nipple. The next guy showed two. The next guy showed two full breasts. The next showed a bit of pubic hair.........................................

Today the girls get abused with spunk all over their faces, DPed or what ever we can think of to leap frog the guy before us.

Then a guy gave away a small picture. The next guy showed two. The next guy showed three. The next showed a 10 second clip......................................

Today we give away more than we sell.

And sales are plumetting.

And traffic guys scrape a living selling traffic off sites giving away porn. In fact the most you can give away of the most explicit will earn traffic sellers the most.

There is one sure thing in business.

If no one else can do it, you're going to make money.

If everyone else can do it, you're not.

There are a few exceptions, try to copy what they do and see how successful you are. :Oh crap

Not if you steal the ladder and keep it for yourself, suing everyone else who tries to use it. ;-)

Sales plummeted for a lot of people, me included. But they have been coming back, and not just for me, for a lot of people.

This came to me as I was writing my book Porn Memoirs and recalling a contempory and here of mine Harrison Marks.

Read about his magazine Kamera and imagine making that kind of money with a brand new site today. Or even 10 years ago.

Quote:

1957 was also the year that George Harrison Marks launched Kamera. Like Rock 'n' Roll, the public had never seen anything quite like it before. Kamera was published with a cover price of 2/6 (half-a-crown in 1957 prices or 12.5p in modern money, but that was equivalent to around £2.75 at today?s prices). The original print run of 15,000 copies sold out within two days of the launch, so an immediate reprint had to be ordered. Again that sold out in days and, in all, over 150,000 copies of issue No.1 were sold in the first five weeks. George and his partner and model, Pamela Green, knew they were on to a winner. Their share of the proceeds, after deducting printing and distribution costs, was 1/- (One shilling - 5p) per copy sold. That is equivalent to about £1 by current prices. They went on printing Issue No.1 but Issue No.2 had been prepared. It was decided to bring the publication date forward and so Issue No.2 was published six weeks after Issue No.1 had hit the streets. According to Harrison Marks it sold a quarter of a million copies. From this point on it was decided to publish Kamera every month. If the figures are to be believed, by the end of the first three months Kamera had netted Kamera Publications about £20,000, which is getting on for a quarter of a million pounds in today?s terms.
I knew him a bit, great guy and sex mad.

Ask him if he slept with models and he would say something like. Not right now! Indicating the day could get better. :1orglaugh
