And like I, if you dont see the $$$ coming as quickly as you hoped, then as a studio, you simply give up and move on to other concepts that you hope will bring revenues quicker for the same effort. If you get the first studio partners working with you until and dedicated to the cause, and then shout about the $$$, then you may just have a winner on your hands. And believe me, if you get that studio to work with you, and you make a success of it, the floodgates will open. If its a proven concept, you'll have my 10 brands knocking on your door. This is actually what happened with the YouPorn CPP. Naughty America and CD Girls were our "proof of concept". That was march 2007. April 2007, the flood gates opened, and that was that. Maybe you would be interested in me being one of the founding studios on JudoPorn?
On that note, I wanted to quantify what I wrote in a previous thread about the revenues a tube generates from a CPP program which may have been misinterpreted. The revenues from a CPP are significant to the bottom line, but are not in the top 3 of revenues generated by a tube. But they are significant. And you see this by just how many content owners are uploading to the tubes on a daily basis to get those aff revenues and direct type in sales.

Well we started *programming* this idea 2 months ago and some change. About 2 weeks or so ago started reaching out to programs and getting them on board. And they are signing up. I had 2 videos on this site when I started talking with programs. I can't populate the site like a free tube, generate the traffic, then convert it over. Doesn't work like that. I'm selling the idea and that has generated a significant amount of interest alone.
The tube model damage is done. I just keep hearing that word... *innovation*, *cutting edge* yada yada. I say youtube, you say youporn (2-05 ... 12-05) ;)
I did find it strange that you downsized the significance of money generated from CPP program as that is why you started the thread. But put aside that 4th, 5th, 6th source of tube revenue... what does it need?
CONTENT. A tube needs content. That content is more valuable then the affiliate sale back to program. Without the updates, it will lose surfers, revenue, etc. The model does not revolve around *content* sales, but 100% needs it to sustain. Funny how a model revolves around the need for something, yet, it doesn't give a shit about the ones who own it as that is not where the money is. No matter what position it holds in the chain of revenue... it's not the first, second nor third
So, we agree to disagree. Just call it that.
