So did online porn fulfill it's true potential?

Never before the Internet was there the opportunity to deliver porn so easily. It went direct into the consumers home, via his computer.

There was an obvious opening for the producer to go direct to the consumer in a very big way.

The cost of delivery was low enough that micro niche sites could make money.

The speed of adapting to consumers needs was nearly instant.

The possibility of bring porn from your home to the home of the consumer in an instant.

For some unknown reason, the pioneers of paysites decided porn was hard to sell and set about getting traffic by giving it away and spending a fortune doing so.

Today millions get off for free, well actually it's very expensive. It's just free for those getting satisfied and never buying porn. They made a business where it took 1,000 consumers to get 1 sale.

Some made some money, a very few made a lot of money. None made the money the porn moguls of old made. And none made a fraction of what could of been made if they had thought differently.

What ever you do make and the porn sites in your operation do make. The fact is still that millions today get off to free online porn who should be paying for it. And you don't need to macro analyze to know that.

So no. Online porn never fulfilled it's true potential.

Which is a shame really.

We did nicely and now can sit back and spam out the whole store for a few $1,000 a time. Not to bad for a retired guy.
