i think that the internet based porn industry is NOT charging enough for what we provide.

i agree that it shouldn't be a lump sum of $40 or whatever, but smaller payments as many times as you can.

my guess is that when the online porn business makes the transistion to micropayments and alternative billing it will spark a renaissance in the industry.

I agree the industry isn't charging enough for what is provided. Entertainment is one of the most expensive things anywhere. Adult entertainment was always taboo and cost more than mainstream until the internet. I agree that smaller payments would be great but I also know that people don't bite their lip when they see $39.95 on a paysite. If they do it's only because they have seen hundreds of others sites selling the product for less. There are tons of people out there with plenty of money and if they want something $40 isn't going to set them back.

I'll get flamed for saying it but whoever started the first paysites and came up with a monthly tag of $20 or less for access had no business sense. I sold all kinds of shit before adult and this is by far the easiest I have ever seen. It's ALL in the marketing.
