Yes crazy isn't it? I was living in my mom's basement with no prospects (for real). LOL My friend lent me $750 to open a CCBill account (now it costs 1K). Now, nine years later and millions in revenue.....wow. Anything is possible if you plan it out right and never stop.

there are actually a few new membersites on the market what have a good chance to become successful but they are really up to date in marketing stuff and they have the know-how to work with media buyers. yes there are some who run both ways by running CPA or CPL offers for the fast money but they also know that a good revshare product brings more on the very long view. they are mostly just scared because the never know if the company will still exist when this time comes to make the greens.
i still wait for the membership program what is smart enough to see that a porn user is not only good for porn and get money out of users what is normally not seen in our biz.
if someone does that really good he will be maybe even able to give the membership for free because he can afford it from that income.
and what do we have than ? a tube !!!
actually all the big money is there where the content is free because this is the chance to get a lot of users. no matter if we talk about google, facebook, twitter, instagram or the tubes - they have the masses. they do not need to build a niche what will be gone after a while. they just push the button and promote the next hype within a second.
and this is why it is such a huge money machine.

I hear you man. marketing a paysite today is very different than 10-15 years ago. Now it takes a real strategy and consistent effort. I have found the major difference these days is any promo tools you send out to affiliates (pics, videos, etc) only has a short term effect. meaning, in the old days you would submit a video or gallery and the "juice" (traffic) would last days or even a couple weeks. Now? A day or two TOPS. So you have to keep pumping and pumping....it can be done but it's a challenge.
Yes the money is with sites that bring in millions of users daily. I read once that if you can generate a million uniques a day you can monetize that traffic in so many ways it's almost easy. Of course getting those millions of hits....LOL
I would absolutely do media buys for some of my best-converting paysites but I found it's very, very difficult to be profitable. So I do it the old fashioned way, through sweat and hard work.
