Great point. Bitcoin is presently a fad to the mainstream. After the fad wanes it will remain a currency for the digitally minded. If you know how to generate a Bitcoin you know how to get any digital content for free and are inclined to do so.

IMO the value of cyrptocurrency to porn currently is in it freeing producers from the oversight of Visa and MasterCard's content restrictions. If you are creating "same girl gets banged by same guy on same couch" content I cant really see it's benefit. But if you are creating content that is on the edge of what Visa and MasterCard deem acceptable then Bitcoin may offer you a chance to offer that to a wider audience.

Just some stats from running cam sites: the biggest cam site spenders are 40+ years old and, given the type of support emails we get from them, they barely know how to power on the PC.

That's my experience with the vintage niche, except the best age range is even higher. Whenever I see an AOL email in the signup list I know that customer is going to be loyal for a nice long time, and probably send 10+ support emails about the basics of browser operation. Bless their hearts.

Bitcoin guys have every tube, torrent site, and file locker in an encrypted bookmarks folder.

You know how a lot of people argue that BTC is great for anonymous purchases and is why people would buy porn with it? Well, why would it be better than pre-paid credit cards that everyone has been using for online porn, phone sex, strip clubs, escorts (Some places), etc. for years? :upsidedow

DWB 02-27-2014 01:12 PM

I'm surprised you guys didn't make any sales with Bitcoin. No one is getting rich from Bitcoin members, but people do use them to join sites. If you exchange them at the right time the value of the members can be equal to a multi month rebill.

But adding one payment option can NOT discourage 50% + people from joining the site.

Like you have a payiste with steady 200 sales a day, add bitcoin option amongst others and just because of that you start getting only 100 sales.

Come on man... You can not be this stupid.

Trust has a bigger effect than you think.
How often have you bought something at a site because you saw they processed with paypal?

Bad news can impact sales negatively. Would you buy from Target.com right now?

With all the negative news associated with bitcoin, it may have an a discouraging effect.

Don't believe everything you read.
Much of what goes on in these threads is PR as much as anythng.

The ONLY people who "know what's going on" are the people in the actual room making the actual deals. Mostly everything else is either spin or so "site specific" that the info doesn't really translate.

To ME the most interesting thing about JT's advice, especially in previous threads, is why companies currently filming content are not adjusting to what JT advises. In other words: start shooting differant content.

Ruseful's success has little to nothing to do with their tours, domains or even their 'tube strategy' (which I have many opinions on but will reserve for now). No, it's because they shoot GREAT CONTENT. They may fine tune their content for tubes and this maximizes their efforts I'm sure, but it comes down to great content presented well. Everything else is just niddling with 5-10% here and there.

As i've said many times before.. EVERY DETAIL is important. Those who act that way and spend attention on every detail and work to improve every single step or component of the process, tend to do very well. And as i demonstrated with actual math in the Shap thread... its that "5-10% here and there" that makes all the difference in the world... and the failure to understand that, is also where most tend to fail.

TBH I thought it was common knowledge, JT has shared his opinions and numbers quite a few times on GFY. The numbers are very impressive, especially considering it's all generated from free traffic sources

I have also stated endlessly that EVERY DETAIL is important (and sited examples). What I'm saying is that without the foundation of excellent content you can focus on the "5-10% here and there" all you want and you will not see the success JT has achieved.

JT shoots his content with tube audiences in mind. that means he pays the talent to shoot the content HIS way based on his research. So guess what? The content is working brilliantly (congrats again JT!). So, in the end, it's not the Join forms or the Tours or the this or that (although VERY important), it's his content. Not to sound like Paul Markham here but look at other content currently being produced and displayed on the tubes for all to see and pay for - and that content is performing poorly while JT's (and mine, ahem) continue to perform exceedingly well.

We are not in disagreement here. I am simply stating where 90% of the focus should be and is: content. And not everyone has the resources to produce such content. If they DID then JT's advice would be paying off for countless companies, wouldn't it?

We first listed Bitcoin as a 4th pay option in the list. No icon, simply Bitcoin. After 3 days, we created a heading of "alternative payment" under the 3rd payment option. This had no effect. We removed Bitcoin from Casting.xxx and put it live on PublicAgent.com, under "alternative payment" and saw the same effects.

The reason we tested for 8 days before pulling is that we wanted to give this enough time. Believe me, I wanted to pull this after 48 hrs.

Also understand, if someone could tell me what I did wrong, and suggested a solution, I would put Bitcoin back on a site for testing.

Suggested solution below... would love to see those results. See, as small as that logo is... I guarantee will not adversely affect the norm and opens a new audience to market to.

I thought the ONE thing you were meant to know about is billing?

JT cannot put the BTC logo there. Now, see if you can work out why...

And you cannot guarantee anything, except your next public meltdown that will lead to you getting banned. Again.

The 5 to 10% is so important. It adds up and changes the entire landscape of a business starting from the core the company's profit.

Everything posted is clever marketing, but no marketing is more clever than the truth. The truth is powerful because it can be confirmed and because speaking the truth builds credibility. I write articles for sure, you won't find any false ones. WebsiteSecure.org is mentioned and you will in fact find it on every really useful site. Bitcoin was on these sites and is not on them any longer. The information in this thread is real. That makes it valuable. Clever marketing is the best way to monetize this kind of valuable information.

If you would like to see examples of the ways being certified can earn ethical sites more money, be sure to contact me. Also be sure to ask around about me. Years of cleverly marketing the truth have allowed me to build a strong reputation worthy of your trust. Thanks.

I don't believe the results, perhaps the sites discussed are atypical in some way or perhaps it was just a fluke due to poorly designed A/B test (correctly run A/B test needs to be run concurrently, not one week of A, then one week of B)

otherwise why would countless companies accept bitcoins in both mainstream and adult if it causes the conversion rates to drop significantly? they are all idiots?

jscott 02-28-2014 06:58 AM

That's right guys, this is the first company, porn or mainstream that I've ever heard having bad/negative results from accepting bitcoins.

I also don't agree with those stats/results, if they are in fact true, I'm sure there is something else involved.

Very high chance this was a marketing strategy. Look all the attention they are getting.

(anyone see namecheap, met-art, fiverr, tigerdirect, etc etc, or anyone for that matter, complaining???)

We're small potatoes compared to JT and we get bitcoin sales with minimal marketing. So long as you cash out at the right time, it's worth it. Like I said before, I'm really, really surprised they didn't make any money at all with BTC. It honestly doesn't make sense unless it was just poorly executed. Or perhaps tube users, JT's targeted market, are just too dumb to understand Bitcoin.

The way to get that data is for other companies that have started accepting bitcoin to share that data and to compare their specific market, traffic pathing, join page design and so on to what JT is expressing. There is no point in adding Bitcoin and removing it *if it was generating sales*, so I'm not sure why you would doubt the results presented. You may be on to something as far as why it worked or didn't work, and getting stats from others like DWB is the best way to suss that out - but your previous posts (I believe unintentionally) suggest that something is false or intended to be misleading. That simply isn't the case. :2 cents:
