30 pages of excuses and me getting paid well for doing a half day of work. LOL

So let's take this conversation further.

I just want to see a great example of how porn should be produced in order to convert and retain.

What are you prepared to pay for it?

Is the answer.

Because better content is going to cost more. Let's assume all other costs are fixed or lowered to their minimum and there's nothing else to save money on. Something in the budget has to be cut. Hosting, well that's for nothing today. Processors, fat chance. Office/admin costs, well that's minimum or should be. Profit, fat chance.

So what's left? The marketing budget. Fire the marketing support staff, no more free content, tools, etc? Yes affiliates would go for that in a big way and it might cut the budget by 5%.

Affiliates payouts? Instead of 50%+ what would be needed to get great shooters to shoot great content at what ever end of the market the site is?

A decent magazine content shooter isn't working for $300 a scene. Not whether he can it's whether he will. And this applies to every level and niche of porn.

A good shooter can make $200,000 a year shooting for other markets as a freelancer. Well he could. Some earned a lot more. And they didn't need to work 5 days a week either. This is close to $4,000 a week, clear profit. You don't earn that as a shooter working for $300 a solo girl scene.

The money to buy good content has to be found and the only place to find it is in the money spent on traffic. So I will ask again.

What are you prepared to pay for it?
Because it's not cheap.
