So today I think, in 2016, paysites need to play up these points on their Tours and point of purchase:

* Convenience. Why go anywhere else? Inside you will see more porn than you can watch in a lifetime. (Have limited content or niche content? Add feeds with vast libraries of all kinds of porn.)

* Safety. No viruses, no worms, no nasty bits of code that will fuck up your computer or phone.

* Privacy. Do you really want to be surfing around on public PORN sites in this age of identity theft, credit card hacks and social media blackmail? Stay here, we protect your privacy.

* Respect. Didn't your mama teach you it's not right to take something for free? Support your local pornographer or he will go out of business. (Sounds hokey but it works.)

* Technology. As you and your devices change so will we. We will always deliver to you what you want, how you want it and in a way that's easiest for you to enjoy. (Make sure your shit looks good on all devices.)

* Health. Ease your mind, relieve yourself of the stress of always searching, searching to satisfy your needs. Come here and feel happy again!

Shit like that. See what I mean? Selling ice to eskimos (marketing).

Lastly, instead of trying to squeeze 10% more out of the cow just get yourself some more cows.
This deserves a Facepalm pic. Because it illustrates how out of touch the industry is with the consumer. Major Tubes beat paysites on every point listed. Which is why for most people who need a quick jerk off they go to a tube and don't even bother clicking on an advert and most certainly don't buy any other form of porn.

All the marketing in the World isn't going to re-invigorate DVDs or Paysites. All you can do is work hard at slinging traffic at yesterday's model and hope some will buy. Around 1-1,000s who see the promo.

Getting more cows, requires more grass to get more milk. So not a solution.
