Well, I think that statement is ridiculous.
I spent almost 2000$ on the website.
I spent another 4-digit sum on purchasing direct traffic.
And lets not forget about the "SEO-Experts", which set me back about 1800 Dollars.
All without results, I should mention. Allthough actually who cares about results, as long as people get paid, they never will worry about any results. By "people" I obviously mean SEO/Marketing experts.
It's like communism is alive again...but its not alive in China, it's alive in the Porn Industry!
I don't want to waste money, and amazinghotmovies.com has been a big waste so far.
On the other hand, the revenues at the VOD-Sites are still going well. So, in other words, the content can't be blamed.
I'm definitely willing to pay people, but there need be results.
It makes much more sense for me to reverse the relation, and say "everybody who generates valuable traffic, will get paid".
The problem isn't me not wanting to pay people. The problem is people expecting to get paid without achieving results.
When I was starting out with content purchases, it was exactly the same story.
I've gotten ripped off so many times, I lost count. I would almost expect a rip off every time doing a transaction with an unknown content dealer. I would continue nevertheless.
And forget about brand names, even adultfilmstarcontent dot com has ripped me off. Was only about 200$-300$, but still worth mentioning.
At least I have a number of reliable content providers now. I'm hoping to achieve the same in the marketing/SEO-arena.
But when you're asking for a monthly payment, you're about the 10th guy in line saying that. And I would respond by saying, have results first. If you achieve results, I guarantee you will get paid.
What's really interesting is that I suggested to split the fees several times.
So let's say somebody has an idea about a new website design, or a new traffic source. I've been in this situation several times, and suggested to split the cost 50/50.
How can I take anybody serious who isn't even willing to put up 50% of the cost (and get the content free on top of that)?
