200 PaySites won't Change Before It's Too Late.

So they built more statues hoping. And destroyed the land that kept them fed.

Online porn thought the solutions was always more traffic, which they got by giving away more porn. Hiding behind their gods of HD, faster downloads, 3D and now VR. Which can all be had for free. I see the similarity flew over your head.

The problem is doing the same and hoping for change won't change anything. We need to talk to the people who don't buy and find out why.

With many sites, it's obvious. There's no real selling going on, just dumping traffic on a site in the hope someone will buy. They rarely do, especially from tubes because Tubes are a superior product to the one being offered. Just a large selection of bland anonymous samples.

No real pre-selling, which should make bloggers ashamed. They concentrate efforts on traffic rather than selling. Text is important to Search Engines. Youtube isn't the #1 entertainment site because people don't like watching videos. Where is the porn equivalent of YT, not tubes giving away parts of the scenes, actual promotional videos? No good complaining YT will kick you off, this industry needs its own version of YT.

Which porn models, film or cams, has their own blogs, twitter accounts, FB, and YT page? Where do they create fans who are converted before they land on the site that wants their money?

A supermarket approach to marketing only works when there are no free weekly food baskets on offer. It won't work when there's more free food on offer than paid for food and it's better quality.

Yet online porn markets the same way it did 18 years ago. It really is time to adapt, what's your next adaptation?
