regarding the video you shot - i kinda liked it. of course that's because i expected exactly what you've been producing for xx number of years (only this time in HD). i never had a problem with your style or content. as i've said before, i was a content customer of yours years ago and made money. that milk bath girl was a huge hit in 2004 (then again that might have come from adultczech lol).



my only problem with you is that you spout bullshit about the industry but you aren't an active player and haven't been for years. you don't know what is going on in the industry, you can only speculate based on what you read here. the gfy peanut gallery bitched about tubes and torrents so you jumped on the bandwagon because it gave you an excuse as to why your sites failed.

well guess what Markham - we got past it
Last 3 years dome nothing but take money. Not anything like we used to take, but not bad. The reasons for not working are well known.

I've done little but sit here and watch an industry I love implode. While people on the boards on one hand moan and jump out and on the other spin BS.

Like a solo girl site making 17 sign ups a day. On a 1 month retention thats $186,150 turn over a year. 2 months $372,300. Yet most solo girl sites were never able to keep girls working, even the big guys like Lightspeed and Mayor couldn't afford to pay all girls enough to work full time. They wanted sets shot for $300 and never able to pay enough to keep the girl exclusive and working the site. With a Ma and Pa operation turning over that much I wonder why.

The problem is I knew a business where a single DVD title was worth $300,000 turn over in the US alone and now not worth a shadow of that. And to think all the money offline came over to online is crazy. Before anyone flames me think retail sales. Same as online sales are. 1 DVD title duped 10,000 times selling for $30 each.

Thanks for the compliment on the scene. Same format I've shot for years, No need to change the format as it works. For some reason Manwin's editor cut out the intro where Sandra was walking towards me. If you look closely she looks over her glasses as she passes me.

The voice over we did later, was Sandra introducing herself, telling people she was off to do a porn scene, how much she loved her job and that the "Best thing is I get to share it with you." The you to coincide with her looking at me. Then at the end when she had multi orgasmed and was clearly sweating and satisfied we closed the scene with her saying good bye. The most real parts of the scene where she reveals her true self. The editor cut it out, why is a mystery. Because it gave the whole scene reality.

But I see this over and over again inside members areas. It's basic point and shoot and churned out by people who either don't know how to shoot it or paid so little they can't be bothered.

I would love a little job to do. But what?

Could I teach others to bring more porn quality to their sites, or even manage their content? Yes, could do that from the comfort of my home office. No one is interest. If someone had a fraction of my experience shooting, in driving traffic. He would be snapped up. Today people care about what's outside the site than inside, care more about giving it away for free than keeping members.

Never was like that and why a decent title would need to be duped 10,000 times. 10,000 would buy a copy every month based on what last months copy was. What ever the niche. Porn Valley was never just what many online think. The most important thing was to produce a video that kept people buying. Then they knew shops would stock it customers would buy it.
