Those may be the kind of low numbers that Brazzers makes because of their bloated budget...but MY profit per sale (and everyone that I personally know with solo girl sites) is more than that.
Just shows why Fabian failed when he really owned a program a couple of years ago. And why he would fail again if he tried to start one on his own. What a clown.

Your business model is basically a scaled up Ma & Pa operation.
It's you and CM. Then maybe a few other people and hiring models. You already admitted that you drive most of your own traffic, CM I suppose is on a profit share so what does she cost. Or is she free being your partner and shares the profits.
Fabian on the other hand is looking at it from a large company perspective. He thinks a newly launched site can just jump in and get 2,000 members in it's first month and they will ALL stay on average 2 months.
His CPA is based on Tube Ads. Others might find it tough to get 2,000 members in the first month without a lot of money spent on affiliates, forget about type in in big numbers, that's in the future. 2,000 members via affiliates, might cost 40% in affiliate payouts. Then who pays the processing fee on affiliates sign ups?
Big affiliates want more than 50%, many want PPS.
Yes a big company can do it and that's how Fabian sees it. The rest are looking at keeping it going, thinking about the future and many diversifying. Even Nicky.
I look at it from the perspective of a content producer. I see less and less being shot and less being paid for it. I see sites full of poor content and the general picture I get from boards is the industry is winding down. Maybe it's all centralising to big companies, but sales are getting harder and harder to achieve. And the big companies aren't likely to change that trend. Not unless they come up with something very radical to change the declining ratios. The
get more traffic days are over, it's traffic coming from others who found it harder to convert.
Free content is for most surfers a far better option.
