My XBIZ Rant from last this month (uncensored)
First, I would like to thank Gretchan and everyone at XBiz for the wonderful publicity OCCash recieved from letting write this months rant. You guys rock!
Seeing as I am as Gretchan says "a primadona" -- here is the unedited verion that I like a little better than what was printed:
Pimpcashmoneyblingbuckspaydollars.com
Today?s rant isn?t meant to salt anyone?s game or discourage competition. It?s just practical advice. Every time I log into Statsremote, I see 10 new programs pop up. It seems every monkey with $600 for NATS and some hosting is trying to make it in the program game.
Can you see the problem yet?
Pretty soon there is going to be all programs and nobody with traffic. It will be like a giant sausage-party on the internet! First, let me clear up a few myths about program owners: We don?t all drive Bentleys, buy $10,000 watches, and live in the Hills.
Truth be told, you return on investment is much higher sending the traffic than receiving it. If you run a traffic generating source, you only have a few fixed expenses ? domains, hosting, and that?s about it ? if you are smart, you?ll profit $32.50 from a $35 join! As soon as the same $35 comes into Pimpcashmoneyblingbuckspaydollars.com ? there are a lot of people with their hands out: your hosting company, your processors, your employees, your affiliates, and your content providers all want to get paid too.
I still make more money from Jay?s XXX than OCCash?that?s a fact.
Back in 2000, it was easy to rip off surfers while paying the webmasters what they thought was fat money because the guys running paysites made fat bucks banging credit cards, spamming, and bludgeoning surfers with endless consoles. In those days, the programs shaved more than Gillette ? so, even the webmasters were getting hosed!
That?s a big problem with the history of our business: it has no history. We are about to enter our first full decade of slinging smut online and we are calling 2000 ?the good old days?. Does anyone remember prohibition? It was around longer than this not-so-noble experiment.
The days of the Wild-Wild-West are over.
The backlash of that is now half the internet won?t join a porn site because they?ve been burned. It?s such a big step between a guy roughing up the suspect to free pics on a TGP and actually putting a credit card down?why make him feel cheated after he did?
Today, much has changed.
Do you really want to move forward with Pimpcashmoneyblingbuckspaydollars? You had better have some great exclusive content or a reserve of cash that you plan on losing for at least two years offering a high PPS to stay competitive. Between Visa regulations, CANSPAM, and smarter surfers -- trying to make that $35 back on every trial join is like selling fire in hell! Even the dinosaurs offering 50$ payout for access to a bunch of feeds have seen their day. Content is king again. If you don?t have one of these two ingredients you are probably best off promoting programs that offer high quality content. Finally, you need a good face man -- preferably, someone that is established or you will have a hard time getting traffic. If you really insist on starting Pimpcashmoneyblingbuckspaydollars I?d suggest you develop your own traffic source BEFORE you even start your program.
You know what the most common question I get is?
Somerandomdudethatjuststartedaprogram: Hey man, how do I get listed on your linklist?
You just figured out how to not to.
Does this all sound like way too much of a hassle? Fear not, just ramp up your traffic and send it to me!
We?ll both be better off.
Peace,
Jay
