:2cents Industry Facts and Myths

Fact: If you take 100 naked pictures of a girl and give 99 of them away for free people will pay for the 100th

Fact: People will always pay for a flat image of a beautiful naked woman. The ultimate porn consumer sitting in front of his triple monitor system with 2 live cams sites up, 4 streaming HD 3D videos playing, 14 high rez images strategically placed on those screens with his fleshlight engaged will still be interested in a picture of Aria Giovanni in her prime or that first image we all saw of Tawnee Stone.

Fact: Dating Sites and Live cams while awesome revenue streams will not replace paysites; apples and oranges. I am a red-blooded American male and I have never looked at a cam site. I have never even thought about using my free pussycash minutes, lol. Lots of people do, but not everybody.

Myth: the paysite model is dead.

Fact: the overbilling model is dead

Fact: the growth of tube sites is unsustainable. I am not saying tubes will go away but their growth trajectory will diminish. This is true simply because the revenue from content based tube sites do not recapitalize content producers, they recapitalize dating and cam companies. Truly amateur ?submitted? videos make up too small percentage of their overall content portfolio to sustain the consumption (and let?s also state that ?real? submissions aren?t generally hot young girls) I should really make a mathematical equation from this, it would be Nobel worthy.

Fact: The ?brand? is the value of your company. The affiliate programs going out of business had no identity. Their identity boiled down to $XXX PPS period. Success going forward is the quality and distribution of your brand to the consumer not to the middleman.

Fact: The affiliate program AS WE KNEW it is dead. Yankscash to me is purely a vehicle for a select few people who understand my brand to land it in front of the surfers they touch. If you look at my program and see X% or $X PPS you won?t succeed for long. I believe this will eventually become true for all programs in the future. Gone are the days when affiliates sold a program, they will need to sell a product.

Fact: Quality will beat out convenience. Technology like 3D will blow away the revenue made from mobile. The key is to make the surfers experience as close to real sex as possible. I am not saying there isn?t money in mobile, I am just saying the hype is more interesting than the reality.
