Paul Markham 04-10-2011 01:28 AM

When I first hit here I was telling people most were buying crap content, that wouldn't do them any good in the long run. Most of the crap content producers in those days have long gone.

I also told them that spending 50% on getting a client and 10% (Approx figures) on the product or keeping him wasn't going to work. Especially when a rebill is found money that costs less.

I also told them treating a customer badly isn't good for long term. Because someone will find a way to satisfy his needs better and make a profit.

Fast Forward to 2011.

Sites full of poor to average content shot by people who couldn't work in offline porn, mainly.

Retention is crap. So are ratios because.

They found a better person to satisfy their needs. The sites throwing out free porn in the hope of getting a sale on the 1 in 1,000s who can be persuaded.

This industry is in the shitter because instead of competing with free porn, it aids to the opposition to buying.

You never win friends telling them they're doing something wrong and being proved right.

Paul,

There is a market in any niche you go into as long as you know to market yourself. If you are good at what you do stick to it. Money isn't what it use to be in porn, but if you put effort into what żou want to be established you can succeed.

There is not a get rich quick method, it takes dedication and you only get results if you are willing to work for it.

I respect you as a person and as someone that has had success in the adult industry and wish you many more happy, successful years to come.

Also if you?re going to brag about your life of luxury I suggest you at least spell it properly.

Two delusional old fucks, posting delusional shit. It's like movie time at the old folk's home up in here. Only difference is that Paul still has some common sense in tact. Marion has slipped completely into a permanent state of dementia.

The problem with him he has a douche like you in his corner. Even if he right it's not doing him any favors having you on his side. If I were him I'd distance myself from you as far as I could.

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, the thread starter was caught pretending to be a young female (he's a 60+ yr old male) on this board for a year and defrauding his friend and partner. Reread my sig again and see who the quote is from before attributing it to me.

I agree with what you say. And it's a method used by most successful people in most businesses.

The problem with porn is a lot thought it was easy and a get rich quick business.

The problem is many didn't have a clue what the market was and thought marketing = giving it away.

The people who thing I can't market porn are clueless. How did I sell anything if I couldn't market well?

You like most trolls will listen to anyone who says what you want to hear. Doesn't have to be the truth, just what you want to hear.

And that's been the main problem for 10 years. "Bro's" churning out the same message which basically = The more you give away the more you will sell. :Oh crap :Oh crap :Oh crap

Until the free content was better than the bought content for 99.9% of surfers. In fact everyone would be earning a lot more if 1-1,000 of online porn consumers did buy porn. The true number would be more like 1-3,000.

Here's some marketing advice for 2011. Make the INSIDE or paysites better than the outside free stuff. Rocket science it maybe, but that would make me a rocket scientist. :1orglaugh

I know how, just can't be bothered these days, paysites were always 3rd in line on our income structure. If they had of been higher I would of created a proper paysite that would of been far better than most online. Not hard, just take 20 years experience. :1orglaugh

HardlinkSells 04-10-2011 02:01 PM

Just because people have good tours on their paysites doesn't mean a lot. You can pay someone to get your site to look fantastic on the outside. The people will sign up and when they get inside they will freak because the paysite lacks uniqueness and doesn't keep recurring members. Research your niche, find suitable videos, and have a page or a forum where questions can be answered so they know they are paying for something that will interest them. Refunds suck, dedicate yourself into one paysite at a time and when you have profitable results, and understand what a average joe is looking for, you will eventually start making it.

Paul understands the basic principals of what people like to see and what people want. That made him successful. As time goes by all he has to do is adapt to the new standards and profit off new ways if he needs to and I think he has enough grasp on adult to do so.

Yes, now look who posted that statement in my sig and that will explain the misspelling you attributed to me. You not only aren't a post master, but you're really clueless as to what has transpired with the thread starter and why I commented as I did. Sally Rand pretended to be a young female for the last year and was recently outed as being a 60+ yr old guy. I wasn't mocking senior citizens at all, but suggesting that Sally's support for Markham was based solely on their similar ages.

As you mention, most free tubes like Xhamster, Tube8, etc. have better free content then the majority of paysites.

The only thing in porn paying minimal or consistent is cams and that market is over saturated to the point it even makes Adult FriendFinder look like a new idea.

Yes. I'm not even sure if someone could afford to launch a site that would truly sell. The market went down so many blind alleys in search of a quick buck the demise was inevitable. If it hadn't of been BW dropping to a price that made giving away porn in massive amount, easier than selling it. It would of been something else. Dating sites will go the same way because a free non porn dating site will be more profitable than a porn related dating site. Girls will join and members on sites like AFF will soon learn they're a con. Even Cams could go to a donation/tips model.

Define making it. Earning $50K or $100K, is nice if you're working in a proper job for $40K but note really "Making it" and how long will it last.

Yes understanding porn isn't rocket science, creating good porn needed some guidance and experience. Not rocket science.

As fr adapting. I've adapted in this business many times. Never had any intentions of becoming an affiliate and looked at opening a paysite 10 years ago and decided it wasn't the most profitable route for me then. It would of hurt the other sides of the business.
