This may be about the most ridiculous thread ever.. The numbers, ideas, and stats as to what and why things are happening is absolutely laughable.

1) Paysites aren't converting 1:1000, the average is around 350, not much up from the 250 8 years ago.

2) Webmasters convert worse, not the paysites, because the traffic bubble they work within (not getting fresh sources) has dried up. Fresh traffic still converts like old-school.

3) PPS will be the end all, not revshare or ppv options. At that, some people have already tried lower level ppv (per clip/scene, ect) and they don't covert better.

4) The price & options DO NOT convert members, the content does, fact! You can have amazing content and charge whatever you like. PPV charges 10 times the price as membership sites, because they have amazing content that no other sites on the Internet have, so they can.

5) Video sites, are no the future, they do well but they still offer a limited type of content and needs. Are they going to keep the price at $15 a month after they reach 10,000 movies?... no!

6) PPS make money through exits/upsells/xsells/upgrades, ect.. The sale pays you and the other webmasters, everything else is the fluff on top. Please don't ever confuse that..

7) PPS programs do not have to shave. NATS and MPA programs don't shave, and many pay pps and offer super high bonus rates.. The math works, don't knock it simply because you don't get the math. Note: Bigger programs that did shave are dead, think about it.
