Naw...you misread what he said.
He isn't planning to have webmasters make up a tour for him.
This is exactly as he quoted.
Quote:
Basically charge some basic fee.... like $2.99 a month or something.... THAT would insure that the surfer is indeed a paying porn customer.... AND at least break even on bandwidth.... And basically ask other porn webmasters to allow me to grab between 100 to 150 pics and 4 or 5 vidoes from their member's are. Basically, i'd just pic a completely random sample that would give a accurate feel for what the member's area would give the surfer.
First of all, if he does this.
Content producers find out he is using unlicensed content. They WILL fuck him raw.
Think you new guys fail to understand. I can give you all you want in photos and shit..everyone can.

BUT..alot of the Content Producers, when they sell content. They issue license to THAT webmaster that bought content. NOT to whom anyone wants to use it. If thats the case..no Content producer would make money. Granted its flowing everywhere..but GOD help those who get caught by the Producers.

He or anyone would be foolish to wanna take a chance on something like this for THAT main reason.

Now..if he got permission from the Content Producers, thats fine.
But..even if he did get good traffic. I can't see any Webmaster thats gonna pay up front for traffic coming from something like that. Unless it is a percentage. Prepaid deal would be foolish.
Aslo..alot of click thru programs are based on performance. Iven raw..if they don't claim it..but if they see your traffic is shit..they'll can you or move you to a % deal.

Also...one of the main reason why the top notch Webmaster programs out there don't let Webmasters make up their own tour like they used too.
Too many misleading and lies, just to make a sale. Causes too many chargebacks.
Sponsors have way too much to do and some have way too many people to have to police where every click is coming from.
If other webmasters let anyone make up their own tour for their own program. They are foolish and gonna get fried by chargebacks.

Plus, with new VISA regulations coming down, not to forget $25 chargeback fees. Yes he will get them. We all do from idoits put there that know they can get away with doing so.

There just ins't any way making money on something like that.
Sure, he'll make a few nickles.
But those nickles won't be worth the hassle.

I know this from experience.
Dean (The General and DoKK) taught me tons years ago on this.
If he does decied to go head and do this. Instead of charging $1.95 or even $2.95.
Charge $19.95 or more.

As Dean told me. People will buy from you if you charge $2.95 or 49.95.

I stopped charging $9.95 on my site back then and backed it up to $49.95 and still had the same converstions, chargebacks ratios, traffic.

Difference was...
I was't making pennies..I was making dollars.

See where I am coming from?
All New people will be arrigant when starting out.
But ya'll have got to listen to some of the people thats been around a while or you won't last long in this business.
