We can all jerk off WITHOUT porn. I can make images in my head. And so can everybody else.
The reason that some people's "business models" may or may not be working is because there is NO business model.
What a PERSON (you might call them "surfers") wants is a little more complicated than that. Keeping all things equal and taking into account that everyone has different fetishes and things that turn them on the most, you have to realize that it's more in depth than JUST jerking off.
I know that the people who may not have had the same real world experiences as me won't believe me. And that's cool. But I can tell you that prostitutes...the real high dollar ones, don't make their money by fucking. They make it by providing something else.
And that's how the highest selling sites on the internet operate as well. You provide what a person needs to satisfy their fetish AND you provide them with the desire to return.
I'll leave it up to you and your "business models" to figure that one out.
And of course you still give them something to jerk off to in 20 seconds...that's a given. But the interaction and sense of "belonging" is what separates sucessful sites from the generic "cookie cutter" sites using "business models".
That's only my opinion, and I'm sure there are plenty of you who think I'm wrong.  |
Great post Robbie. You touch on what some people fail to understand.
People who can jerk off to anything don't buy memberships in the numbers any part of this industry needs to survive. Never had and never will.
However look back at the posts telling people not to put too much hardcore in a TGP gallery or the surfer will get off and not join. Clueless advice like this and other similar pieces of wisdom,
has misled more affiliates than anything. The guys that jerk off to a gallery are not a target market for a 30 day membership. Forget about them and sell to those who will buy.
The reasons people join a site on a constant basis are simple. Convenience and the porn fills their specific DEVELOPED needs. And not because they can't rub one out to a 20 image gallery.
Just one example of many pieces of bad advice handed out.
