My prediction is it will make a lot more on its own.
Here is my explanation why:
On AEBN, hotmovies.com I'm competing with thousands of studios.
Every Niche you could even imagine. There's no reason that anybody should even spend anything on the content I provide.
The fact that I am making somewhat serious revenues there makes me positive.
I mean, if you survive the jungle with about 1000 competitors, doesn't it make sense you could survive on your own?
You're rightfully saying that the Big VOD Sites have a huge marketing activity. But if you think that this will help in any way, when it comes to selling content that is completely unknown, with a completely unkown studio, just try it out.
I'm sure you could spare a couple of hundred dollars, which is all you need for the test drive.
Put the content up on AEBN and hotmovies, and see what kind of results you get.
Just to make it clear one more time, AEBN and hotmovies, those are gigantic sites, with hundreds/thousand of active studios, some of the most succesful studios in porn history.
The most important reason I believe my content is going to perform better as a paysite than on the big VOD sites, is because of a result on a different site.
The website is called homepornon.com
It is a German site, mainly focused on German Customers.
In the 6 months from July 2011 to December 2011 46000 US-$ were generated with my content, on that site alone.
The period before that was a lot worse, but the only reason for that is, I believe, that they banned my account, so there were no updates for almost 2 months.
Much more important than the total revenue, in my opinion, is the relative result.
My account has been Number 1, I would estimate 70-80% of the time, being in the TOP 3 100% of the time (looking at the past 6 months).
Currently the results are: Number 2 in the monthly ranking, Number 1 in the yearly ranking, Number 1 in the all time ranking.
These results are published by calculating which account sold the most movies.
I believe that these results are much more meaningful than any result on AEBN, hotmovies, could ever be.
Just by applying common sense:
If you put up content on a site which has 1000 studios, and you put up the same content on a site with 20 Studios, which results are going to be more meaningful?
Well I don't believe a PhD in math is necessary to figure out that the result on the site with 20 studios is much more meaningful.
I would estimate that the number of serious studios on homepornon.com is somewhere between 10-20 (compared with 1500 on AEBN).
Although homepornon.com is a relatively professional site, it has nowhere close to the marketing activity or marketing budget as the big American VOD sites.
If you were to ask me for an estimate, I would estimate homepornon.com has less than 1% (likely even less than 0.1%) of the traffic and active members than AEBN.
But yet, my revenue is a lot higher on homepornon than it is on AEBN!
Basically, I have already proven that the more focused the traffic, the less competitors there are, the better the result.
And the highest "level" of that, would be to have no competitors, and only my content! Which is just a different way of describing a membership-based paysite.
So much for the theory.
vubado.com is run with my content. This guy decided to focus only on the MILF-Niche.
In less than 2 months, almost 500 US-$ were generated.
That is not the most spectacular result ever. But the traffic generation has also not been that great, something like 1000-2000 visitors per day.
The owner of vubado.com is doing nothing more than a couple of tube uploads per day, as far as I am aware.
If anything, vubado.com proves that sign-ups can be generated for a membership site based on my content.
It certainly is too early to judge, but there have been more sign-ups in month 2 than in month 1.
But for sure I would not judge any amount of traffic below 1 million unique visitors, which vubado.com is far away from. There haven't even been 100.000 visitors.
One idea is to create another site with my content, but to have the billing as if it where a vod-site (and not a monthly billing). With about 400 videos so far, I don't think that Idea is far-fetched. I have always gotten better results with the German Amateur-/VOD-Sites, compared with the American VOD-Sites.
The main difference is that the American Sites are billing per Minute, whereas the German Sites are billing per scene. It could be a good indicator as to which route to take.
You mentioned the word "easily" in your second posting in this thread, and the other poster "adultforum" mentioned the phrase "no marketing activities".
I never claimed that things would be easy, or that you can make money here with no marketing activities! Of course it is going to be tough and a take a lot of work!
All I'm claiming is that the potential is there. Just because there are diamonds in a certain area, doesn't mean they can be easily found or without effort! And of course, just because potential is there, doesn't mean that anything will ever be found.
