And good point from fuzebox, thread title does say 'adult' and not 'porn'. |
i sold porn for many years.
i do know the difference between than and now.
I had a paysite affiliate programm in 99 already and in the good times we had a subscriber base of 20.000-25.000 members.
i can tell you that not even my revenue was lower as it is today - also my profit was less
as it was very hard and expensive to even support this member base and the affiliates
and i had a huge number of employees to pay.
imagine - with 50% revshare we pushed already more than the half of the gros profit in marketing. now take payment costs, traffic, servers, employees away than you see that there is around 10% left that you have to split in content and own profit.
these are fucking peanuts.
I started to make good money when i used my own free sites for promoting whatever is possible and not only my own products.
and at the end of the day I found out that I must be dumb to stay on the harder part and invested all my time in sales strategies and building user free user magnets that brings the mass.
if you make a network of sites that brings you sales to a specified product you will be able to make around 10 times more from a single visitor as from a free tube.
but you will only get a MAXIMUM of 1% of the possible traffic.
so if i do not target them that strict, offer them more variation and accept to make only a tenth from a visitor my net profit will be at least 10 times higher.
this maths is so simple and easy that i can not believe that people like paul donīt get that.
