Exactly, you can't monetise without content. Thank you for that.

Why do Tubes have so much traffic?

If you have and can get traffic, why don't you open a site yourself and send it to yourself?
I've heard this so often from people who have traffic. Yet how many choose to do it?

*****************************

The best thing offered to a person, the best his response. For instance if he's offered stale bread, no matter how many times. It will not get less sales than offering a cream sponge to less people. EVEN if it's free.

And this is the cruncher. The number of people who can get and keep getting great traffic, is far more than those who can create great content. There are perhaps less than 100 great porn shooters, I defy anyone to name more, they are expensive, their product sells for top dollar even today. AND this is the important part THAT'S WHERE PEOPLE SEND THEIR TRAFFIC.

Paul Markham Teens has probably made 1,000 sales in the last 4 yeas. Astral Blue less. Not a lot of money. Yet it was money for nothing more than the hosting and affiliates share. We did nothing to get traffic. We let others get it and most of it just arrives only 1/3 was from affiliates.

The paysites are a lot less than the content stores. Those sales have been fantastic considering we don't do a lot. We keep selling the $3,000 offer. Maybe to people who have the traffic and only need content to make it worth more than sending it elsewhere.

My point is, I could retire and still make money while doing nothing. Because I have the content and the traffic keeps coming. If I only had traffic, would it still be coming if I wasn't working?

Look at Damian, a self proclaimed marketing expert. Lived in a rented flat, had to move in with his GF because he couldn't pay the rent. He's been flaming me for getting 166 hits a day with 10 minutes work. I think 10 minutes work for nearly 5,000 surfers is nice going.
