Otherwise why pull the sites (all of them) and loose all the traffick.
When he first started we all told him (1) the name sucked, and (2) not to have 6 sites but keep with the one. If he had taken the advise, things would have been so much better. In truth now seems to be in a real mess.
Oh well. He never listens to advice. Never has and probably never will.
He could have made a lot of money if he had taken advice many years ago.
If I was him, I would go do something else before he ends up bankrupt. The danger he has is he will end up selling his car just to cover the cost of his server host. Then when he still makes not much from sales he will end up having no cash.
Gary your in Spain. There are many opportunities to make money in Spain.
Also webcam should make you good money. My mate sucks at webcam (I mean she is really bad) but even she makes £400 or more each night.
If your honest Gary, and sat and did a profit and loss. I suspect you would find that your making an overall loss from your sites each month. Its probably in your interest to stop as clearly your struggling.
But because you are Gary and think you know it all, you will carry on and keep telling people sign up and promote your site(s) and blag it that they sell. And in time you will end up broke.
As I say, I hope it goes well. But sadly I suspect your just throwing money away.
The truth is the content you shoot is not sexy. Until you start to shoot nice content, your never going to make much in sales. Your main problem is in most of your content Nat simply does not look like she wants to be in the pics. She looks unhappy.
As a webmaster you also come across as desperate. You beg people to promote your sites. On forums you offer free access. From the start it was clear you had no idea (even the basics) on what you were doing. You took no advice from anyone, convinced that your way would prove correct, yet it never has.
The truth is, the good times have gone. Do you really think a new look or new domain name is going to suddenly make you lots of cash?
If you want to make money Gary, get the content sorted first. What you have posted on this site, twitter and so on, has in most cases been ugly. And one presumes thats your best, so heck knows how bad everything else is. Before you waste money on a new design, shoot content that people will want to see.
And if you cannot shoot good content, then look for something else to do.
An old saying is a bad workman blames his tools. And that's what you do. You never accept that the problem you have is that your content is junk. You can have the best looking site in the world, but if the product is horrid, it simply will not sell.
And just because you get some sales, do not presume that means what your selling lots of people want. The C5 sold. But in the end it was a flop (mainly because the electronics sucked).
The problem you have Gary is because you get a few sales, you presume that means you have a product that could sell and as such you carry on regardless producing more of your rubbish content.
You may have a lot of content, but its a lot of junk.
STOP
Go look at content from other sites.
Then go shoot nice content.
Do you not understand Gary how important it is that your model (in this case Nat) needs to look happy on the pics. Personally I do not find (and many do not) find Nat attractive. But that does not matter, some people will like the Chav look hot. If it had been me I would have stayed in the UK and just shot Chav content, instead you made the mistake of shooting content that was not right for you. Anyway you have gone to Spain so not much you can do about that now.
But Nat needs to look happy in the pics. She needs to look like she wants to be in the pics. But to be honest she just looks like someone who is just doing it to keep you happy. You have been told this from the start.
Anyway, I know you will ignore my advice and you will just carry on regardless.
In six months you will be back begging for webmasters to promote your new site and in a year be asking why your not making many sales.
