100 posts of why paysites won't change.

The excuse of them never being customers, never made sense. Now we know that people downloading or viewing porn are potential customers we converted into freeloaders. |

From his responses it seems Shap already has his mind set on a certain path and is looking for affirmation of adding a lot of new functionality to paysites while reducing membership fees, preferably lower than $10 it looks like.

This is different though than the conventional PPV. The 1 click and reach being the big difference here. Makes perfect sense and would be a big change.

Of course, two clicks is far too much for a surfer to figure out. </sarcasm> One click to what, biller or deducting money from a pre-deposited pot? Pornhub works with one click. |

Figure out what a 1 click means in this context and come back please

At $10 a sign-up, taking all the other expenses traffic, servers, equipment, etc. That means the site has to sign up 400 to 4,000. For every 10 videos. Back in the boom days, 95% of the industry was buying exclusive cheap crap because that's all they could afford. Of the remaining 5% a lot of them were started by people with an in-house content producer. |

Wouldn't the producer be better off getting the fan to his own site? As I said, $10 is good if the content is free and Tubes can make it so by binding producers to a contract. |

How much more content needs to be produced? We are not talking about a finite consumable story-based product which leaves the viewer wanting to know what happens next. The average viewer needs a few minutes of visual stimulation and then moves on with their lives.
I think the oversaturation of content caused by the industry converting content production into a commodity is as much to blame as tube sites. |

But again, companies can only afford to charge $10 if they are massive. Think Wal-Mart. Classic right? I don't try to explain things to Paul. His interest in these things are purely intellectual these days. He has no skin in the game so his perspective is...classic.

I know you don't believe this but I don't have an agenda here. Just having a conversation about it. It may surprise you but I'm not the selfish manipulating bastard you have me pegged as. If anything I'm the complete opposite. I started the thread as a brainstorm to see where it goes. No secret plans behind it.

This is one case where those who get it get it. I saw exactly what mutt meant immediately. Makes sense. We've always limited our thinking to the idea we have to charge for our content on our website instead of other ways to charge for it ie on the tube itself.

Personally, I think tubes should act like cable providers do now. In other words, strike partnership deals with trusted paysites to not only do what Mutt suggests but also help with production costs. Paysite owners would need to adjust their thinking in terms of margins and costs but I think this is the future for some companies. Does Mind Geek do one click upsells for Fake Taxi? They should.

I'll throw one at you with regard to monetization;
What about a Porn Tube site with micropayments to content producers or providers? what if; Each time a full length vid is viewed in HD quality $0.20 is deducted from the tube member's wallet and 50/60///90% is sent to the member/seller providing that content's wallet -- the seller cashes out like an affiliate $50-$100 minimum .... |

If that is how they are paying to content producers now? by the view -- then yes...
Micro payment is not new -- how it cam be financed is. Forget about 3rd party processors. You can load a wallet with ACH for next to nothing (or nothing) initiated direct from your online bank in the US. https://www.dwolla.com/ |

How are we supposed to trust a former tube owner whose avatar is Darth Vader? Seriously though you started asking for peoples ideas this month last year in another thread. You and I chatted via email which was cool. Nobody has seen any results come from the effort before and here's a new thread asking for ideas for paysites. Where did I peg you as a selfish manipulating bastard though? I don't see you that way. I try to challenge people sometimes so I can learn and see where they're coming from, it's me being passionate, not meant as a negative. Now if I tell you how I see you you're gonna take it a bad way haha |

Like me I guess..
(I thought about and I don't really know. I guess the difference between a freelancer making money with ref links and a company or LLC with money? I also didn't mean cams didn't make affiliates money, I worded that weird..) Like the problem with people complaining about tubes. Nowadays much less people search on SEs for what they're looking for or going to TGPs/blogs/MGPs/etc and instead are going straight to a type-in tube to see what they want and if they do find the video on an SE, chances are it's a video on one of those big tubes.. If they buy a membership for something they like, the tubes and the company will get a cut of the sale, no middle man.

Alive and kicking. Retired 8 years ago. Still selling content but it's only to keep me busy. Private pensions are my main income.
Spend my days walking the dogs, cooking, reading, watching TV and gloating over tragic attempts to earn money on a boat that long sailed. After 10 years of listening to people tell me, I knew nothing. Karma is sweet. Still not sure what the one click sale is about. |

Why does Netflix get 12.99 (now) a month subscriptions when you can view all kinds ( of generally bad quality [bad screen cuts, chipmunk voices, obvious display screens being videoed with a webcam (LOL)] ) movies, including recently released, full length movies?
People are willing to pay for good content -- free pirated tube clips are better somehow or good enough for a fast wank; fap,fap,fap -- zip? If that is the case -- move on. |

No, with my business model it's more akin to that of a Hollywood agent, meaning take a % from each site and, altogether, it pays off big time. Some sites do killer biz, some so-so and some no biz at all. But TOGETHER it (my Network) packs a wallop and makes bank.

I see you don't have the cost of producing content. I have no doubt your network makes you a living and I admire you for what you're doing. But it's not the way forward. You have no skin in the future and paysites improving conversions and profits. In fact, you make more money with them failing and people allowing you to pick their sites up for a revshare deal. |

Paysites are sites with recorded porn. Dating is for people looking for a real relationship, if only for the night. It is a great supplement and for many has replaced porn income.

Tubes are better than paysites. Girls working on their own are better than Third World studio girls, so what's left? People have to face facts the online porn business is, for most, a dead end. They won't be increasing their income and while they should maintain it, they have to adapt or die. Look outside porn for their long term living. There are opportunities for people who can create, market and sell. For webmasters who can only dump traffic, the future is bleak. This is what happens with every new industry after the gold rush days when anyone can pick up nuggets, the big boys take over and dominate. The yield's not only smaller, the big boys suck up most of what's left. Develop products that are real, have meaning and empathy with consumers. This is easy for those who understand why someone buys a product. What their needs are, what will trigger them to buy and what will bring them back for more. If you need some examples, look at the top Youtubers. This is the route to take, it can be done for porn even though if the models scenes are on a Tube they will get the lions share of the traffic. Or drop porn and go to dating, or flipping burgers. Now's not the time to try to reinvent porn. And the suggestions so far prove that. |

Big tubes can never have processing (eg the 1click idea), there is too much content that is not allowed by the card schemes. A lot of big tubes got burned already when they had the premium on a subdomain of their main domain.
That's why it's made so clear that you are leaving the site and go to another site. Most of the 'premium' versions of tubes are nothing more than paysites with DVD content and AC whitelabels/channels. They have nothing to do with the content on the tubes itself. When you click watch HD or see on Premium the chance that the video is actually there after you pay is very small. It's just another way to get people to signup for recurring memberships. |

With Facebook,Instagram and snapchat even if porn went away today's youth has plenty to jerk off to. Porn isn't only down because of tubes. With social media you get so much more content of people you know and don't know.
