A guy signs-up to a porn site because it gives him regular access to particular content that appeals to him. However few guys go online with the intention of finding porn to pay for. They go online, see something they like and decide they want more of it. The specificity of whatever they saw on that site that appealed to them determines how likely they are to subscribe.
For example, if a guy goes to, say, http://www.schokomaus.com and figures he likes latex, he can search around and find lots of free latex content. If he decides he specifically likes the look of Lady Schokomaus in latex, he can probably find something for free, but he'll be much more inclined to subscribe to her site because it's the easiest way to get lots of exactly what he wants right then and on an ongoing basis.
The point is that it doesn't matter how much free stuff is out there because sealing the deal on a sale has always been about guys seeing something very specific in your site that they want more of. |

6) Did I mention most of your sites suck?
9) Your sites suck.

These two have it. In the 15 years I've been around the Internet what has been the innovation on the product? Faster speeds, crisper images and sharper video. And more content.
When it came to giving content away for free we were doing everything we could think of to put more content under the nose of buyers.
If you want a buyer to keep buying the same product month after month you have to give him some very good reasons. And most sites don't. The content is all the same, the models are faking it and the shooting is often so poor and lacking in innovation the user does not want a months worth of it. The reasons are simple, the cost of content plummeted to a level where good shooters were leaving the industry, steering clear of the Net or working to a level that did not allow them to produce top quality scenes that were different.
Dean Capture recently said in his thread he shoots 4 solo girl scenes, with video, in a day. Well this is the TRUTH. You can't shoot that level and make it right at 4 a day. And there are shooters doing 5 or 6 a day and the quality goes down even faster.
As for it all being available for free on a Tube. So why does everyone still try selling what's free on Tubes? Give the customer more than what he gets on a Tube and he might think of buying.
That might take innovation and adaptation of the product. Guess it won't happen then.
