How many mags do i need to sell per month to break even ??
300k, 500k, 1,000,000+ ? per month and every month to make a profit. And thats not including the extra advertising rev from ads in the mags

How many paysites operators can you name that do more than 10k transactions a day ? How about 5k a day ?? the answer is very few and only getting less. Something drastic would need to happen for that # to start going up again.

So to answer your post, i dont see it going that route anytime soon as we've already proven surfers will pay almost any price for unique and new porn that turns em on.

i think surfers are getting fed up with $40 a month sites that deliver nothing.. and think they are less willing to pay than last year and the year before for the regular fare paysite, and I think at some point having 400,000 members at 4.95 wil be the norm in the porn biz in I also see megers and acquisitions a lot in the not too distant future, and of course a lot more lawsuits.
