On this topic I see a lot of heated debate about whether or not people will pay for porn on a phone. My reasons for adding those formats to my content are not to sell clips or a subscription to a "mobile" site at all. Although it may very well evolve that way, look what happened with ringtones and wallpaper, they said the same thing, the fact is that it IS a novelty right now...but novelties DRIVE markets.
Bottom line is that if guys are shooting each other clips of porn on their phones as a novelty to show them this "hot chick" or unbelievable act...where do you think they will go when they get in front of their computer and want to see the rest of that girl or act, or just want to see that same clip on a bigger screen?
They are going to go to the site the clip came from...AND THAT DRIVES SALES. As was said earlier companies like Budweiser don't make a fortune selling Budweiser keychains, they sell BEER by putting out Budweiser keychains. And that's exactly my reason for putting my stuff in mobile format. Marketing 101.
And again, Imo the market right now is for the free trial stuff, to be on people's phones, to drive them to the website. The arguement that some have made about jerking off on a 1 inch screen or paying for a grainy clip are irrelevant right now imo. What IS relevant is delivery of your sample content to as many people as possible so they subscribe to your site. Distribution, Distribution, Distribution.
maybe in a year or two we will catch up to Europe and then we'll see if $2 a clip cuts it. for now it's a marketing technique.
