Emailing, Tubes, social media, etc. Will all come back with a return that's determined by the content. It's now about "engaging more traffic". Selling rather than shelf stacking and hoping.

Sell the sizzle not the steak. That will always be the personality in the scene, over the scene itself. It may be a girl on a bad masturbating, like 100,000 other porn scenes.

But this is Emily on a bad and she's like the girl next door, or the glamourous babe I always wanted, she goes shopping, rides horses, has a cat, an opinion, a life she shares with me. I know her!!!

And that can't be done by shooting scenes of any girl who will get on a bed and masturbate in front of a camera for money.

Just an example of how porn has to be personal to get bought, in a time of saturated everything.

Personally I wouldn't do this these days with recorded porn, I would be going down this road with webcam girls.

I made my money in the days of shelf stacking, because of the valve limiting outlets. So no comments about "Why didn't you do it?". The answer is I didn't have to.

Interesting points. There definitely seems to be a move towards interaction as opposed to just "watching". However, a lot of cam models make money from selling clips in clip stores or their own member site don't they? Personalisation would seem to be the key in today's market.

They do work. BUT...only when you offer them a deep discount (half off, etc.)

The problem being that once you do that, the info gets put on a surfer forum with the link to the discount join.

So now you get a few extra joins too. Great! Right?

Yes and no. Because now your current members get pissed because they feel screwed because they paid full price.

It's kind of a delicate balancing act.

I've made some good money with email campaigns. But you can't do them all the time. They only really work a couple of times a year. After that you just start becoming an annoyance to your members and you get a reputation for "spamming" even though you really aren't.

You know the kind of companies that send you a freakin' email everyday until you finally end up blocking them because it's so annoying (talking mainstream companies).

You don't want to end up like that.

Ditto, right on the money.
