general economy sucks... I dont know about USA but here in Europe... EURO has killed all of us...

czarina 05-10-2011 02:30 PM
I go to restaurants, the movies and stores, and they're always packed. There is no real recession for those businesses. Mainstream brick and mortar industries are booming, while adult is sinking!

Restaurants and bars by me are not as busy on weeknights as they used to be. Travel is def down. People haven't stopped going out to eat but a lot have cut out vacations.

Is that what they tell you? Or is it they've discovered tubes. Also I'm sorry but no site is worth $360 a year anymore. When Netflix only charges $8 a month $30 is just rediculous. And yes I'm aware Netflix doesn't show porn. It shows media most people value more highly than porn and are still only charging $8 a month for it.

So tubes and the economy have drastically reduced the porn customer base and for those left you have to reduce prices by 70% .......

agreed, can't hardly walk in the malls.

Jakez 05-10-2011 05:12 PM
Ask them what they WOULD pay, give them a free month, and afterward let them rebill at whatever they say they would be willing to pay, as long as it's a reasonable amount.

Bladewire 05-10-2011 05:30 PM
:eek7 For a second I thought this was a bumped thread from last year. I feel bad for anyone still having it rough that sucks hang in there and keep plugin away :banana

Pretty much. Times change. 20 years ago you could sell a 80 minute VHS tape with 5 porn scenes for $30( $50 in today's money ). Try doing that today. Content just doesn't have the same value it used to. That's just the reality. People either can accept it to not but it's still the truth.

I have to admit the past several weeks have been exceptionally brutal for me. I have always maintained a pretty consistent ratio over the years but these days they are all over the place.

I'd like to see anyone here charging $30/month - explain how they have a better content than netflix and are worth the added $22/month.

This, though simple, is one of the most brilliant things ever posted on GFY. Bottom line, porn as it is now will be dead shortly. How much can an affiliate make if porn sells at $8/month and with ratios running at 1:1,000?

I don't need a calculator to do the math on this ....... Porn really is dead.

The future holds what, sites pimping semi-scam dating sites and cams.

Many are offering pay sites with 1995-2003 over sold mainstream porn content, including the old 320 x 180 videos, and maybe a couple of hundred scenes if that.

Yet are mystified why they can't convert these old BROgram sites.

The paradigm shift of today's buyers is that PORN IS FREE.

When you make is better by broadening you base.

NEWSFLASH!

THE ECONOMY IS TANKING!

My recollection is that alot of the non-US webmasters were big Obama supporters.

It is said that Capitalism trickles down --but it appears that Socialism doesn't trickle, except for the political class.

marlboroack 05-10-2011 09:56 PM
That's business mate, try changing your niche and updating your content. Give your members what members want. Chat rooms, live girls. You know. A good time. Imagine what i can do at home with 30$ for a good time. :pimp

Agent 488 05-10-2011 09:58 PM
things are booming because it was busy at olive garden. ignore every other economic indicator known to man.

i set the price of FantasyOne.com to $10 and it converts at under 1:100. more importantly, rebills are over 60%.

there's wisdom in this thread boys...
