I have a feeling this might be a bubble that'll burst. mark womack of madisonavenue.com i remember had a good argument back at cybernet 2008, and I tend to agree with him.
Companies are throwing huge dollars at any and all tubes with traffic - just to block the other guy, so the tubes jack the prices...because they can. However, eventually this "auction" will get so high, and non profitable for any advertiser that they'll just have to bail out.
I think eventually advertising dollars on tubes will thin, and as a result, sites like megavideo are offering a "premium access" type deal.
Tubes are convenient as hell - before, we paysite owners I think thrived on people who weren't all that tech savvy, and didn't want to deal with torrents or p2p and just wanted the convenience and ease of a paysite...however, tubes are actually EASIER, more DIVERSE, and CHEAPER than most paysites. The three words I capitalized are the 3 most important things to a consumer (based on my own personal experience anyway).
I think tubes will be around forever, whether they charge a small fee, or whether the advertising dollars continue to flow in. So - I think our challenge is to basically make our paysites worth purchasing. I think the days of slapping up a 20 minute update a week and thinking our members will be happy, are over.
So...who has some ideas to make paysites worth the money? What are you using to make your paysite worth the money? What have you innovated recently?
I just launched
www.femdombride.com, through spicecash.com - we do live free webcam shows weekly in which the members can tell Goddess Starla how to torture her husband...we also offer key holding services, we try and create an emotional bond with our members - and in turn, our retention thus far has been pretty damn good.
So...anyone care to share how your creating a better place for your members?
