It comes down to one thing and one thing only - and this is coming from someone with 28 paysites and counting - and it's the #1 thing most adult industry people fail to grasp because they have their collective heads up their collective asses. LOL Living in a porn bubble will do that to ya.
Here it is:
MARKETING.
People in the porn business have to become better bullshitters. That's it. End of story. The better you are slinging the bullshit the more sales you will get. Period.
Evian vs. free tap water is the ONLY - and I mean ONLY - example anyone with a brain needs to find success.
But this is a long discussion so I will just give you all another clue, one to think about, another example of the way to do things and it comes from mainstream:
Ever hear those 30 second radio ads? You know, a used car ad spot or a weekend sale ad It's 25 seconds of the "deal" then 5 seconds of unintelliglble speed talking (the "legal disclaimer") that basically negates the previous 25 seconds. But people tune out at that point since they can't really understand the words anyway so they.....buy buy buy! Even though they are NOT getting the deal they just heard advertised. Go figure.
To sum up: do a better job of SELLING. Stop creating porn sites that look like every other fucking porn site on the Web. There's a good place to start.

Nothing wrong with what you said, but you're leaving out one very important variable. A penis.
When an erect penis is involved in the decision making, all bets are off. Analogies about water, mainstream sales, or hard selling, all take a back seat when a guy wants to rub one out and has found a girl he wants to rub one out to.
I used to be a porn consumer. No one ever had to sell me. The girl I was interested in did that, so long as they didn't give away too much of her. They only had to make me trust their site and get me into their members area as quickly as possible with the least amount of effort, at an affordable price. I didn't care what the site looked like, so long as it was functional and didn't have pop-ups or other annoying features. I wasn't there to give them design awards, I was there to rub one off looking at one or more of their girls.
Fast forward to 2011...
Now, I just google the girls name or the site and I get it all for free. No need to join. And unless you're using a 3rd party biller like CCbill, Epoch, Segpay, or Zombaio, I wouldn't put my card into your site anyway.
The only thing I've paid for in the past three or four years or so have been webcams. And they don't have to sell me either. No one has to bullshit me or promise anything. Just give me the girl I am interested in, and give her to me now. Because at this stage, my penis is doing most of the thinking and he doesn't have time to waste. He also is easily distracted, so if you can't give him what he wants right NOW, he may find interest elsewhere with just one click of the mouse.
