devide it by 10.000 or 100.000 who want to eat your cake and NOBODY makes money.

you are not talking about internet paul - canīt you not see that? you talk about a biz what what nice when you shared it with a few friends and colleagues and your dreams would come true if everyone who is making money now is leaving the field and give it back to you and your few friends. this is NOT the internet paul - not even in the NEAR of the internet 2018.

there is nothing like porn and mainstream anymore. i was 3 years ago at the first affiliate world in bankgok. exept from me there have been 3 other adult guys there and I got an email from the organizer before the show that they have researched that I am a porn guy and they warned me not to bring any offensive stuff.

i was on the same exhibition again last december and 50% of the companies and media buyers there are on the one or the other way in adult. without agreed meetings or a booth i made there so much business that I have problems to find the traffic for all them.

and the mix of all that products they sell brings MUCH more money.
no porn memebership site would be able to pay even 1/10 of our prices because they can not make it profitable.

so what shall i tell my publishers? letīs sell 90% cheaper to give this guys with a fucking hard to sell product a chance too?
what do you think they would answer ?

you really do not understand the big game because you never played it - which is not meant in any way pejorative - but with such skills you can not tell people who are MAKING huge money with it that it does not work. the mouse that eats the crumbs under the table does not know how to fill the table - if the mouse would know it it would not be a mouse.
Today you are right. The Internet gives us greater access to customers.

I had access to a market of 55 million. Online I have access to billions. OK, most are in the Third world, but the population of Europe and America is around a billion.

He is right about no porn site can afford his traffic. Because at $10 a 1,000 and it required 3,000 to make a sale they are left with little profit. 3,000 converting a 1-200 is something they can afford. He's right at the prices most traffic is sold the products are a hard sell. Porn never was it 3,000 used to convert 60 at $30 + rebills.

There is nothing left but crumbs in porn.
