Idea brewing in my head
 

Let's say I was an affiliate of 10 sites.

If I put together a sales team of women to "sell" those sites how do you think that would work?

So theoretically a guy comes to my page and there's a selection of sites he can join...but if he needs help then he can call a lady to help pick his porn. We'll get a sales pitch down perfect.

She can sell a month or 3 months, whatever deal he will get. Maybe if he purchase a 3 month subscription he will get a free phone sex call. Then I split the sign up profit with my sales person.

I realize selling paysites is all about traffic and clicks but where I really excel is in sales and getting the guy to buy. I think getting to talk to a real girl and have her tell him the options will make a lot more sales.

It's a "just born" idea, so don't be harsh. What do you think?

tempting

With some tweaking I think it's a decent idea.

I thought so too. My husband just gave me a blank stare.

I like the idea of a live sexy sales rep. Might be an interesting business model to have your girls sell the big boys' sites. Why not casually recommend sites to your existing caller base and see if there's much interest? "I hope you don't mind if I watch some videos from brazzers while we talk" < like that but, you know, good. If they ask about it give them the sales pitch.

In that area you run the risk of the caller going to the porn site and then saying ohhh shit, look there you are, and your name on this site is SALLY SUCKS A LOT but as a phone sex operator you're sweet sophia. We really try not to encourage them to look at porn cause then you inevitably get called out for being fake.

Putting my best voices and sales people on a "Help you pick your porn" line they would be models from the sites I was trying to sell maybe? Talk live to so and so and let her help you pick your porn and then he gets excited that he's talking to the chick, bam...we know how to get the card any hesitation, we will at LEAST get the email address.

It all sounds good in my head. I do have a blog with about 40k visitors a month so I already have that resource.

All you will get is guys calling up to wank to the voice of the sales rep

Sally does suck a lot, never underestimated the Rand Corporation

I can see how it would be a conflict of interest for your existing customers. It does sound like a great way to generate leads though. Like you say, most people will give up the email address over the phone. I might hesitate to call because I'd be worried about a porn site calling me or texting me.

Of course you will, but we know how to handle them.

A couple google voice numbers can ring to 5 people at one time, doesn't cost me anything to have or for guys to call in. I can enable do not disturb with a voice mail if there were no sales reps to answer.

I can see how guys would hesitate, but most unmarried men would be too curious not to do it. You don't agree?

I think it would result in a LOT of hang ups, in a LOT of guys trying to talk dirty, and quite a few sales.

What's a good amount of sign ups per day for any program?

When they call in and try to phone sex, that's like a free lead. If you can get your number on some of the larger sites you'll be set. I think selling it as a service would be more profitable than generating your own traffic and splitting rev share or whatever with the reps.

Ohh, aren't you smart. That makes sense!

so much pressure

I do agree. I would be curious. That's the only reason I could think of for not calling.

I'm not sure what you're asking here and I doubt this answers it.

I heard the porn nerd is making 6 sales a day. :winkwink: (someone was fucking with him)

5 sales a day for an individual is pretty good. That would be at least $50k a year. You'd need a lot more volume to negotiate a better rate. In the past I was able to do that with 15-20 new sales a day. I don't know what it takes these days.

5 sales a day? That's it? I don't know anything about selling porn...I'd just have to try it and see how it worked. Will have to find someone to experiment with. I think it's an interesting idea to at least try.

If you can mix the porn with some live interaction and give it to them as a courtesy...well damn. They are getting the best of both worlds. A sexy voice to get them geared up to get that membership and then all the jerk off material they need once they get in.

Since 420 invoked the unholy name of The Porn Nerd here I am. Unlike Beetlejuice you only have to say it once (apparently).

The issue with paysites is that the "pie" is only so big. Once you start slicing it up the ROI gets worse and worse. So if you are selling paysites for the 50% affiliate cut, depending on the site, that's around $12-$15. So what do the girls doing the actual selling get? $5 per sale maybe? That would leave you $10 "profit" (not counting any costs, tho probably minimal there) and not counting rebills.

So you would have to decide how much volume you would need to be happy with your ROI.

The way phone selling via paysites is normally done (and this is rare but it does happen) is that the model of the paysite offers phone access as part of the membership (call me on my private # etc). I don't know of any trying to sell actual Memberships to their own sites via phone sales but perhaps some do and promote that via Twitter, etc.

A service would be better. Cha-ching!! Good luck with it (and keep the REAL good ideas to yerself hehe).

5 isn't bad assuming you don't pay much for your traffic. You'd be making a living as a webmaster. Once you figure out how to get 5; 15 is within reach.

They can probably get more interaction from cams. But, I have seen help desk / talk to live person on mainstream sites. Maybe your girls could take phone payments as well as giving advice and handling cancellations.

There was some pay sites I saw with like 30.00 payout?

I got ideas flowing now.

I think he's quoting you rev-share payments (you get 1/2 of membership cost monthly until customer cancels). And you are talking about pay per sale payments (You get $30 one time no matter how much the customer spends).

Thanks for clarifying.

That's what I thought :1orglaugh

I can't think of anything I would want to do less then talk to some operator about what porn I like. I always thought this was how porn sites survived, no one wants to chargeback as no one wants to talk to other people about their porn tastes. Just my 2 cents.

Hi potential hot chick that I'm afraid to speak to. Should I join the tranny fisting site or the midget bukkake site?

Say 1% of visitors will call to speak to someone. Maybe an operator can convert 10% of those to sales. In this totally made up example a site gets 100k uniques a day. That's 1k calling the line daily and 100 new sales.

I had this idea in 2003.

First I thought you were drunk but then I saw it. https://gfy.com/2651602-post22.html

How'd that work out for you? :)

It will never work

I never went live with it.

I currently work for a mainstream marketing agency that provides live sales support solutions. I can tell you that live sales support makes a big difference in the bottom line. Average 20% lift in conversion and order value.

I say go for it. All the cool kids in mainstream are doing it. Haven't seen it done yet in adult.

I think having a girl help you pick your porn is much more appealing than a guy helping you.

I like your totally made up thinking.

Hot chick working the call center for a porn site? You are pretty optimistic. They will show you a picture of Dillon Harper, and she will sound like Marge Simpson. Less then 1% are this naive.

You could call your cable operator and beat off as you try and cancel...

:1orglaugh

I think makeabuck runs phonesex lines where guys think they're talking to models. Even if only .1% call it could generate a few extra sales per day. I just don't know if anyone will see that as a reward vs the risk of losing potential customers to phone sex operators. Maybe if she pitches it to the right person.

Have you considered that the 'horny Joe' might want to have cyber sex with the lady on the chat? Will they be on cam? Maybe, what you need is a merchant account.

Another thing, what is your traffic like? If it's a lot of bulk traffic the chat lady will be working for free a lot.

Bottom line, it probably won't work.

HTML5 WebRTC will allow for P2P Webcam and Audio so have fun ... Maybe, make the guy flash his credit card and then the girl can flash her tits and pussy or ...NVM :1orglaugh

i dont want to talk to sales rep when i have a dick in my hand.

porn buying is impulse decision.

ppl dont want anybody to know what they are doing at 2 am.
they just want to see some porn and get off .,

And for alllll of the other guys who need a little help...

There'd she'd be. An amazing voice and professional sales person. Hot pics will help.

Good thinking. :)

Nice idea Sally.

Here's an example of how guys feel about talking to somebody on the phone about a porn paysite subscription.

I'm obviously way better than she is. Guaranteed =)

If you build it, they will cum!

Mutt, that is the best signature I ever saw. I'm stuck, I have to watch it like 7 times before I'm satisfied.

Notice how no one is agreeing? Seriously, the cool thing about a website is it is automatic. Costs are super low. You are trying to reverse that. Just something to look at.

I think we work in the same field (selling sex) but in far different ways. I'm used to closing the sale, making the guy comfortable with spending his money, making him feel comfortable about his fetish, and making sure he comes back, but still being professional and to the point, not letting them jack off without the credit card.

I don't think I could do it as a service at first because I'd have to really figure out the sales strategies and then roll up my sleeves and do it myself with a select few girls on solely commission basis. I am sure selling porn and selling phone sex are a bit different, but a horny guy is easily swayed into whatever direction we decide to pull him.

Um, no. And that is what men hate about women and why there is so much anger towards women in porn.

Phone sex work is WAY different than paysite sales. Let's just leave it at that. :)

I didn't know there was anger toward women in the adult industry.

Have you sold phone sex before?

Sounds decent

Since you already have the infrastructure in place it almost seems like a no-brainer to give it a go. You sound like you know what you're doing.

The main challenges are going to be traffic. Quantity and quality. Only a small % of people are going to want to talk to someone, or would actually benefit from talking to someone.

If you have this skill set then talk one of the porn site owners and work a deal. No one is going to turn down free cash.

I ran a customer service center and the minutes add up fast. 3 minute calls with a 10% closure rate means you are making a $1/minute. Phone sex does better. I also think a 10% closure rate is optimistic. The great news is no one knows so you might have hit on the million dollar idea of the month.

:thumbsup

There was a time where everyone had phone sex numbers on their sites. It did not do well on the hardcore. Maybe fetish did better but I have not seen any numbers up in a while so my guess is that it did not sell that well. No one turns away money.

Xpays.com was into it and a decent guy, maybe he could help you out.

Just watch some porn videos.

Have you ever sold porn or run a paysite before?

I have never sold porn, but the question was have you ever sold phone sex? You made a statement that they are WAY different.

Well one is dead and the other is dying so they have that in common. Men as a rule are sexually stimulated by visual images. So men who would like to buy phone sex have to be a subset.
