Now with sales gone to zero, what will you be doing?
 
This month has been the worst ever, what are you going to move to now?

From the tone of your previous posts and program changes, would have guessed times have been haven't been so good

commonsense 04-30-2008 11:23 AM

Time to trim some fat in the industry.

Summer just around the corner too. But it might not be that bad because no one has any money to go on vacation so they might still be stuck at home surfing porn. :)

Selling Apples infront of Wal-Mart yielded my daughter $3,600.00 last month, but she got arrested and prosecuted by Walmart for peddling without their permission.

The Judge 04-30-2008 11:48 AM

Many threads about this, only sig whores claim otherwise

marko13 04-30-2008 11:50 AM

Sorry steady growth since we launched here including this month.

Tat2Jr 04-30-2008 01:49 PM

Wasn't that bad of a month.

Having launched my newly designed Dickmans Design tour for Amateur Upskirts helped quite a bit, plus since Michelle Lynn does 3 live webcam shows each week, she keeps her members rebilling pretty well. Picked up a few good affiliates this month that started instantly sending sales too.

actually pretty good month for me and I'm not talking crap, when the sales are bad I like whining as much as Dirty Franck

pornguy 04-30-2008 02:10 PM

IM actually on the upswing with sales.

Nookster 04-30-2008 02:30 PM

If you're noticing your sales dwindling you're obviously marketing wrong. Not everyone in this industry is losing money right now, you're just not moving with the times. I for one am having one of my best periods to date with adult. Mainstream is a whole other story also. You gotta have something to fall back on.

How zero how do you usually promote sites ?

This month was pretty good for us. So you may need to go back and hit the grind stone and figure out how to monetize the traffic again.

Reak AGV 04-30-2008 02:34 PM

Enjoy my rebills :)

Maybe the program changes and the focus of only one person steering the ship are what made it the best yet.

As for us here we had a very good month over last year this time.

e-god 04-30-2008 02:41 PM

It's not the worst on my side, just keep working and you will be fine :)

I just cleaned out one of our traffic sites and the numbers rebounded maybe you need to do a house cleaning of your traffic network. I have noticed a lot of sponsors have gone to shit recently. :)

Clean_Franck 04-30-2008 02:58 PM

Arent u the idiot who said that the adult dating industry was in decline simply because you didnt get any sales in february compared with the 2 sales you got in january?

Just because you do shit, does not mean others do shit retard. You are not a model for the industry.

The Judge 04-30-2008 02:59 PM

its not the sponsors, read this http://news.aol.com/story/_a/people-...30090909990001

No one said they all have buyers and those that do end up selling for much less than what their shit is worth

Absolutly nothing:)
I do not have to work anymore.

But I do enjoy getting into design here and there:)
Always be a demand for it, maybe not in adult but many other places.

Another great month over here at CyberAge. Let me know if we can help with your sinking ship.

gadabout 04-30-2008 11:42 PM

Build more :) I don't believe that porn will die for a while since pleasure is what we are selling and that is what everybody wants. How hard can it be to sell a $1 trial anyway?

venus 04-30-2008 11:46 PM

people saying they are doing good or doing bad only means something to that person, someone saying this is their worst month, could be doing way better then someone who says this is their best month. So dont try to figure out and copy what someone who says they are doing great is doing, some sites do so bad, anything is considered great to them :)

when you have nothing, you can only go up, when you have allot you can lose allot.

Some are just spamming and some are telling the truth. what you have to do is think "Why is he selling when I'm not?". The reasons for some are as obvious as the nose on your face and some need to be thought about.

For 10 years most have produced the same porn, the same way and kept the budgets as low as possible so we can spend as much as possible to market it. Result is clear, 1,000s of sites that have very little to offer the surfer against the next site. The solution for the last 10 years has always been the same, send more traffic to more sites.

Sites that did not convert well enough need more traffic to not convert enough. Go figure the logic of that.

Then the introduction of Tube sites added to the load. So many people are so fast to blame them for their own mistakes. Look at them, most offer a crap scene most of the time. Yes a few exceptions. No quality, no theme, no "exclusivity" and no fucking with the surfer. In most cases it's a 5-6 minute scene. And this is stealing the surfers from sites trying to sell a 30 day recurring membership to a site the surfer feels a free Tube site is better.

Please give me a break, the day the trash can stops people eating in restaurants is the day these people are right. Unless the restaurant serves you out of the trash can and charges for it.

Stop and think to yourself the number of sites that have opened in the last two years that were different from the rest. There is the reason for most that sales are down.

Yngwie 04-30-2008 11:56 PM

I had a shitty month, but I'll manage. Shit happens. Just have to work harder. No big deal.

No doubt dude, I'm in mainstream and it's the same shit. I've been doing something online for 10 years now, while my sales are higher than a couple of years ago it is due to overall growth. This is an absolute horrible time online and it's only going to get worse as the recession kicks in. If I didn't have so many foreign customers ($100 = $5 to them lol) I would be really pissed. Americans are going broke and they are cutting back on spending for fact.

I looked at your content, that's definitely not the reason. :2 cents:
