Want to increase revenue 16x? [MUST READ]

You are not going to fucking believe this.

Turner Group did some research about online ads in 30 minute shows.

First the bad news.

They concluded when you put a one minute ad in a 30 minute show online, only 40% of people watch the whole show. Not great at all for the content producer.

Now the good news.

If you put 16 minutes ads in that same 30 minute show, 37% of people watch the whole thing.

Are you with me?

That means they made 16 times as much revenue from the same piece of content whilst losing only 3% of their eyeballs.

I am sure I don’t need to spell this out to you, but if you applied that logic to porn sites, you could multiple your revenue 16 fold.

There you go, I’ve saved the industry. :D

PS Now, HuluPlus manages to charge a subscription fee AND stream ads too. Think about THAT for a second.

PPS For Paul et al, I am not *actually* suggesting you can get away with putting 16 mins of ads in a 30 minute porn scene, but obviously you can massively increase the number of ads shown without putting people off. Which will lead to a huge increase in revenue.
