I have not much doubt about GE generating this with just his partner since he is not the only one doing it. Just because you don't know about them doesn't mean they are not out there. Making money flying under the radar selling a mediocre product that's just really well packaged and presented.

Paul, you know I really do like you, and I am still pulling for your GFY HOF induction (see sig) but really:

You have never had success selling memberships, you had reasonable success selling content.


Allow me to answer all of your questions to GE

What are your sites?

None of your business.

Where do you get your traffic?

None of your business.

Why do you have a partner?

None of your business.


Google Expert, I hope to meet you one day (If I haven't already) maybe we can do some mutually beneficial business, if not that's OK too, I like to talk to intelligent people.

If he was normal for people driving traffic. The business wouldn't be running down. You certainly can't do it as you're an employee.

It started to be my business when he posted in a thread I started about Starting a new business successfully.

If he was the norm, or even amongst top 10% of people. He wouldn't be showing those numbers. If he's extra exceptional then he can do those figures with an average site, content, product. What the rest of us can't do is try to match him.

You've been at it a long time, can you do those figures or even have a clue how he does selling memberships with nothing great?

I'm saying GE is the exception of the best. Because if these were achievable by mere mortals. Porn would be flourishing.

I'm not exceptional. I'm not even out of the ordinary. What i'm kind of decent at is generating traffic - and this is what always brought me money.

I used to be a regular affiliate for years, but then I got tired of getting fucked over by programs and by companies going out of business and not paying, so i decided to create my own paysites.

I didn't know anything about starting or running paysites. I had zero experience in billing, i still don't know any programming or design. I hire people to do all the work for me.

I basically copy what other people do in this business. That's what always worked for me - you find a successful business model and copy it, making improvements along the way.

Reading all your threads - you're always fixated on negativity, with your way of thinking you are set out for a failure from the start. You are sure that everyone around you are either exceptional and out of the norm or that something is over-complicated and impossible to achieve.

I don't know why you constantly create your preaching threads without having anything to show for yourself. You constantly make points that you can't back up, people tell you that you are wrong, but you don't listen and continue to post/recycle your drivel.

Yes, I can and do, do those kinds of numbers.

I have no clue how he does them.

If you were normal at driving traffic. It wouldn't be converting so well on a site you creates as a normal person. Yes, you get a lot of traffic, SEO, bought or advertising? What do you mean as marketing?

As for points I can't back up. What about you backing up your points with more than a screengrab that shows you now converts at under $5 and rebill at over $35.

Just back up what you claim so other average people can get inspired by what average people can do.

As for negativity, I'm the opposite, I'm positive you're exceptional or bullshitting us. Or maybe buying traffic and the costs for that are very high. The problem is you have nothing to back up your points.

Roald, he says he's normal. Except at driving traffic to a site that converts average content at 1-1,000. You and I know that's not normal with average content copying what everyone else has done before him

This is assuming he's doing the norm porn paysite and not something else.

Spot the fake nick.

Of course, I have a State pension, two actually. Just as well I don't rely on them, got the huge income from sigwhoring and AC sales. :thumbsup

You forgot my wife going to work in the mines.

It's a pity other people don't put as much effort into asking questions of people they're clueless about making wild claims.

You're exactly the same. You mostly post put downs and pointing finger posts. I was shocked to see this post of yours with thought and introspection, but then, of course, it turns into you insulting & degrading Paul, sentence after sentence, as if you yourself weren't a shitstain of negativity yourself :thumbsup :1orglaugh

The irony that you use the word expert in your name yet blatantly say all you do is copy other people smh

markham has already schooled Barry on how to actually be successful with cams - I for one cannot wait to see paul share with you what you are doing wrong, and how you could make some real money in your particular field, of which paul also has zero experience. Get Nick in here too, so paul can explain to him how to get his traffic numbers up :thumbsup

Thank you. That's impressive. Now show us that's running porn paysites which is what this thread was about.

To remind people what my thread is about.

Quote:

I'm prompted to write this because of all the threads I see from people who think starting an online porn business/site is easy.

It's the opposite and people should think long and hard about it. This is 2016 and we've had 20+ plus years of online porn.

For a business/site to succeed it has to bring something new and better to the table. Or just shave off a micro-layer from all the others doing the same. Because there are others who have been around for years, successful and have all the elements needed to keep going. Imagine opening a grocery store opposite a Tescos or Ralphs. With products they sell, but far fewer, same price and the same level of service. Will it succeed?

That's the situation every startup porn site faces. Your product has to be different and better than the competitions. How you do that is hard to answer with one rule for all. Because for most people, the solution is beyond their grasp. If it were achievable for all, everyone would do it and we would all be back at square one.

Myfreecam did come up with a new model of camming and made a killing. Then Chaturbate popped up, now there are more and the old model cam sites are dying.

Don't know the first porn Tube, but the same happened. One popped up, then a few more. now there are so many only the top tier make real money.

Same with Teen porn. Barely Legal magazine, then there were 20 in the US.

Girls getting fucked in cars, leg sex, big tits, gonzo, reality, POV, and so on.

The last thing the consumer needs is another site doing what 100s of other sites do.
So far the snipers have had nothing to say except "I do it different" then post images that if I posted would be called fake. Has anyone met any of the detractors, know who they are in real life, done business with them?

Have we seen one thing to prove they do it the old way and make big bucks?

If the porn paysite business was making the kind of figures some claim. We would be going like it was 2006. Or these guys are bullshitting us.

Put up or shut up.

No one does it "the old way" that is the equivalent of opening a VHS rental store. You evolve or you die. Has been that way since the Earth was formed.

Selling "content" has gone the way of the dinosaur, selling "perception" now that is alive and well, Ask Microsoft, Apple, etc, etc, etc. Marketing of any kind is all about perception, people have not bought 250 million George Foreman grills because they are the best thing ever, they bought them because they were marketed well.

If sales were based on "The Best" the Mercedes would be the best selling car in America, not the mediocre Toyota Camery

  1. Uber

  5. Amazon
  6. Netflix

These are some examples of 21st Century (contemporary) marketing successes. They all involve a past-time business segment (transportation, retailing, finance,entertainment) where a neglected market segment was secured from the incumbent who had neglected this under served consumer segment. These usurpers captured their neglected market segment initially -- then have scaled out that segment.

Excellent post! Spot on. Many of those industries enjoyed oligopoly style control over their markets, and when you have this - what's the point of innovating (making your service better), they grew complacent and opened big windows for new players

I would add Banks and "Fintech" maybe even Fintech/Crypto Assets, that is an industry which is begging for a shake up - huge profits, dominated by a handful of giants (in my country anyway) - and slow but steadily, they are seeing a new system crop up which is designed not to fight them, but build something new and simply walk around them and their antiquated ways. I just noticed, you actually did write "finance" in there, haha. Posting anyway ;)

ps. twitter hasn't even made a profit yet. Curious if they found somebody to buy the company yet? know they were/are looking.

Barry-xlovecam 11-17-2016 11:06 AM

Finance presents special problems because of regulation by many governments.

Twitter got "left at the alter" by all their bidders. Freedom of speech is a problem for publicly traded businesses.

I hope we will be able to do public video journalism on a .cam domain -- everyone can broadcast uncensored content from their smartphone 4G or 5G (when available) or a data network enabled studio cameras -- want to buy an ad:winkwink:

IPO before I die :2 cents:

You've said nothing. We know we have to evolve, I did it for 40 years in porn. The difference between you and I is. Everyone knows what I do, you refuse to show how you earn your living. Those figures could be for sales anywhere.

It was a good post. The flaw in Barry's thinking is none of those businesses has to compete with a parallel service giving the product away for free. A real marketing man would know that.

And there's our problem. Barry now competes with Free Chat sites who have gained their traffic at the expense of his model Cam site. Pre-Recorded porn has been devastated and now a shadow of its previous size. The next to shrink will be dating as users move to apps like Tinder and Grinder which are far better and cheaper than the Match.com model.

I never said it was easy. Where did you get that? Same place you get most of your ideas, out of your ass.

All you need to do is show your sites. Then the debate of who's right ends.

Paul Markham 11-18-2016 01:11 AM

The biggest problem with people today is their attention span when online. How long does it take for a surfer to become a bounced stat?

So engaging the customer is a priority. whether it's on a Tube with adverts, blogs or sites making the sales. We have seconds in which to say who we are, what we do and what's in it for the surfer. Try doing that with text and you're likely to fail. An image was fine in 2006. 2016 it has to be video. Also it has to load fast because even though ISPs claim 200mbs. At peak viewing times the fastest speed is hard to achieve for you customers.

Here's someone who has it. How many of you adopt this method?

Creating the video takes skills. Essentially marketing skills and video production/editing skills. Which is why it's great for those that can and sucks for the rest.

So posting your idea here is a waste of time and an even more ridiculous comparison. Why not approach the big dogs and offer them your services?

Or even launch a camsite that's not dated and mostly French speaking. A small market.
