At first, they focused on busty women, “because the big-tits niche was so cheap,” explains Feras Antoon, the company’s current CEO. Then “they saw, wow, that tit niche is huge. Then they realized that the MILF niche—the older-woman niche—is even bigger. And they became the masters of the big-tit–MILF niche.”

More like I "bought" a bunch of tube sites. Tube sites have taken the tens of millions of people who use to surf porn on thousands of sites and pooled most of them together to a hand full of sites, where it also just happens to have for free what some of these people use to pay for. The "wide availability of free porn" did NOT create more people who would be willing to "eventually pay for porn" in general. It diluted the number of people who would pay for porn, but wtf do you care if there is a lot less people buying, when they are all buying through you... your sales go up because of your huge market share you gained. In general less people buy porn and as a total porn sales are less. Specifically, those who own top 100 traffic sites in the world have seen sales go up, because of the market share they grabbed. They are making more money, almost everyone else less. They are killing the industry but they don't care because they continue to make more money, at least for now.

I've heard a few stories over the last couple of years of others who started making millions but it was always something illegal like banging cards. Seems like when ever someone starts banking millions of fast money its from something that is going to land their ass in jail when it catches up to them.

I don't know Will, it may be a short-term death or killing that will end up increasing the appetite and creating buyers long-term. At least, as long as the consumer trusts their credit cards aren't to go be charged $150+ for something they didn't want.
Spend a little time on a site like MFC (myfreecams.com) where you can get everything free, but there's still a huge number of money being spent continuously.

" Thylmann made his money (NYMag estimates he spent around $140 million to build his empire) buying up niche porn sites for a handful of cash and making them almost instantly more profitable by boosting things like search engine traffic and conversions. " If anyone believed anything you said in the past, I can't see how they would believe that. You honestly claim that from the time you left Nats in 2007 till now you made 140 million from buying niche sites and doing a better job SEO'ing them. LOL "anything I do not understand"... Trust me, I understand things perfectly well. Time will prove it. If there is one thing I know for sure, time tells all. A couple months or a couple years, the truth is always reveled.

In general, porn sales have gone down and will continue to go down because of tube sites. For every long term buyer you think that is created because of a tube site, 10 other potential buyers are killed off due to being satisfied enough by what the tube sites offer for free. It's never been like this before. TGP's were great upsells. They showed either 12 pictures or a couple 30 second videos. It was a teaser, a good sample. People joined the sites to see the 1000+ full length videos because of those 30 second clips. Tube sites show full length porn videos, not 30 second clips. Most of the content you can find in member's areas are listed on tube sites or torrent sites. Why buy when you can get it for free. Everyone should have this down pat by now, common sense logic like 1+1=2.

Will, I'm not comparing tube sites to cam sites. I'm comparing 1 large cam site to itself. In the exact same location, you've got dozens of hot girls giving it all away for free. Yet there's no shortage of private shows, group shows, or guys just throwing money at them. They're at a buffet where all the food is free, but they're still buying tons of it and no sign of slowing.

funny the very next thread I read on GFY after I posted in this one was:Big credit card banger gets nailed! " The St. George man lauded as a hero for numerous charitable efforts in Utah and Haiti has taken in$275 million since 2006 in a “massive Internet scam,” according to a federal court document." Look, he made 275M in 4 years. You right Fabian, most people who have made 100+ million from nothing over the last couple years all did it from perfectly legal ways like being SEO pros. I have no idea how you made 140M or if you really are the guy who even did it. I am just saying two things, the vast majority of the time money made that quick is done from illegal activities and eventually the truth will come out. /end

In many cases the girls require tips before a nude show or particular act the viewers want to see is done. While most don't pay, many do. Other people get off on being the guy who spent money on her and feeling like a big shot. The huge difference is what they are paying for they can't get for free. The site is both a traffic magnet and a way to up sell some people. But the bottom line is it doesn't take away from other cam sites. The people who want a private show still have to pay for a private show whether it is on MFC or cams.com. The customer still exists. Most traditional cam sites make money off of this small market of people who want the control, the experience, the private show etc.. MFC doesn't dilute that, Tube sites that offer entire porn site's member's areas for free do dilute sales for those type of porn sites. MFC is a good example of offering a platform to tap a huge part of the market that cam sites have not been able to appeal to in the past, and make money from. Nothing more, nothing less. If you can jerk off to girls doing free shows where they don't talk to you much (if at all) and some other dick is controlling the action, then there is a 99% chance that you would have never paid for private cam shows anyway. However if you paid to access a porn site to jerk off to hot full length videos and now you can do that for free on a tube site, most will stop buying. I love when I run into people who say " wow I found this cool cam site MFC, i love it girls live on cam getting naked, why would any one pay to see them on cam." I ask, have you ever paid for a live cam show and they always say no.

People used to pay for porn without a problem. But... ah ha... give it them for free, give them the very videos they would otherwise have to pay for, and that will eventually make them want to pay for porn again! However, illogical people and industry dinosaurs still believe in this failing business model... Don't give people free porn and they will continue to pay for it. ![]() |

Look at the numbers and consider the consequences. You need at least 10 times the people to make up for the loss. If you can do that then you can do well with it, yes. If you can't then you're in trouble. The numbers were pulled out of my ass as estimates but they probably aren't too far off. Fill in your own and come up with your own conclusion if need be. |

As Will76 was saying with the free cam model it only goes so far. People will continue to pay for the full/private experience. With the long length tube model a person is getting the experience, that being 20-50 minutes of a video for free which is more than sufficient. If you can get 20 to 50 percent of a porn video for free most are not going to go ahead and pay to see the entire video. The upsells you refer to negate the value of the content which cuts severely into the profits of people selling said content.

When you go and buy a house or a car, do you have to pay the full amount in cash? This business is a positive cashflow business, I am sure he didnt use a bank to finance this, but I am sure as hell betting he could have with a good financial analysis of the company. and if you are in the right circles, individual wealthy investors would be all over a company like this. If they are offered a % of the company or a good interest rate on the money loaned it would be no problem coming up with even 400 million dollars in a short time. Just because you do not have 50,100, 200 million dollars to play with, does not mean others in the world do not, and I think you would be amazed at how many wealthy people have that sitting around looking to parlay it into even more. |

my theory has always been he represents in part, a group of mainstreet & international investors, hedge funds, and other wealthy investors that have millions to toss around, and they funnel money through him to get the porn % returns, especially after the 2008 financial meltdown when people were take millions out of the stock market and had no place to put it.
Nathan convinced them to give it to him and he would get a better than wallstreet return, which he might have done already. that's my theory.

He wrote NATS. I imagine that did the trick. But I find that kind of ironic because a big reason (but not the sole reason since NATS has other uses) for having NATS is for your affiliate program and it's mainly affiliates who are being put out of business by the piracy. After affiliates it's the pay sites (traditionally NATS' biggest customers) who are being harmed. Kind of strange if you think about it. I'd be interested in hearing his perspective on this. I realize it's probably quite different than my own.

A couple of statements that don't make logical sense, "Fabian Thylmann, the current owner of the company, whom NYMag calls "likely the biggest porn tycoon on the planet", argues that the wide availability of free online porn has created more people who would be willing to eventually pay for porn." " Thylmann made his money (NYMag estimates he spent around $140 million to build his empire) buying up niche porn sites for a handful of cash and making them almost instantly more profitable by boosting things like search engine traffic and conversions." We all know giving the product away doesn't encourage as many new buyers as it deters old one. And we all know you don't build $140 million in 3 years by niche sites. Unless they're major niche site and you're a genius. |
