    Starting a new business successfully.

    I'm prompted to write this because of all the threads I see from people who think starting an online porn business/site is easy.

    It's the opposite and people should think long and hard about it. This is 2016 and we've had 20+ plus years of online porn.

    For a business/site to succeed it has to bring something new and better to the table. Or just shave off a micro-layer from all the others doing the same. Because there are others who have been around for years, successful and have all the elements needed to keep going. Imagine opening a grocery store opposite a Tescos or Ralphs. With products they sell, but far fewer, same price and the same level of service. Will it succeed?

    That's the situation every startup porn site faces. Your product has to be different and better than the competitions. How you do that is hard to answer with one rule for all. Because for most people, the solution is beyond their grasp. If it were achievable for all, everyone would do it and we would all be back at square one.

    Myfreecam did come up with a new model of camming and made a killing. Then Chaturbate popped up, now there are more and the old model cam sites are dying.

    Don't know the first porn Tube, but the same happened. One popped up, then a few more. now there are so many only the top tier make real money.

    Same with Teen porn. Barely Legal magazine, then there were 20 in the US.

    Girls getting fucked in cars, leg sex, big tits, gonzo, reality, POV, and so on.

    The last thing the consumer needs is another site doing what 100s of other sites do.

              I totally agree with you on this... but no need to copy/paste this same story every week...

                      It's not about "the consumer".
                      It's about mass selling to anyone possible.

                      The product doesn't have to be 'better'. It has to be 'acceptable' as a product that someone wants to buy.

                      I buy gum all the time but I don't look for 'better' gum to buy each time. "What's new? What's a better gum than the last piece I chewed?"

                      Maybe older people with lifetimes of experience and a limited budget do these things but I would not base my future business dreams on what a retiree thinks is best.

                      Carry on.

                                          Seriously Paul, give it a rest.

                                          It's like you're trying to convince yourself you have a clue.

                                                  What inspired me to write this was, I see start up posts by people offering nothing different every day and many webmasters suggesting how many updates, price, tube samples, etc. It needs to succeed. As if a newbie can compete at that level.

                                                      If buying porn was like buying gum. Retention would be in the term of years on loads of sites. It's not so porn isn't like buying gum.

                                                          Is it affiliates encouraging others to lose money so they get more clips to give away. Or is it just people who don't have a clue still in the business?

                                                          Probably a combination of both.

Putting something new on the checkout and relying on people seeing it and buying it there and then. Is an impusle sale.

                                                                                                                      I don't. I warn them that doing the same that they did ten years ago, or thinking this is an easy business. Will lead to failure.

                                                                                                                      When I was in the business of producing content. I did discourage people from producing content. Which is the right thing to do.

                                                                                                                      Do you do otherwise and encourage people to take your business?

                                                                                                                              Great point.

                                                                                                                              MFC can't provide enough traffic. I suspect few can these days. Now is the time to get girls to produce their own traffic or sites to change how they market the girls. Assuming the girls or sites are capable.

                                                                                                                              some of the old sites died out but most are still going strong...MFC and chat are beggarfests with more and more beggars and less and less paying customers...put a model on them and see for yourself
                                                                                                                              If none of the girls made any money. the sites would have none. You're telling us of your failure's, not the sites. Youtube will bring enough traffic if the content is good enough, MFC and CB do the same. Because if they didn't, the sites would close.

                                                                                                                              However relying on them to bring the traffic and hope some of those people like a girl enough to buy. Relies on the girls and her mentor.

                                                                                                                                  Who in porn did an interview of Bree about this incident? He does great marketing for porn girls. Who here uses this method?

                                                                                                                                  This is happening and if you're not moving to videos you produce and still relying on 2006 methods. you're dead or dying.

                                                                                                                                  https://www.youtube.com/results?sp=C...del+interviews

                                                                                                                                  Whether you can make the content interesting enough to turn a view into a sale. Is the question.

Putting something new on the checkout and relying on people seeing it and buying it there and then. Is an impusle sale.

                                                                                                                                          they even print "impulse article - place near checkout" on the boxes they deliver chewing gum, chocolate bars etc in

                                                                                                                                          should have taken a picture for you, Paul.

As if a newbie can compete at that level.
                                                                                                                                              Mate, I don't have a straight answer. It says I'm a webmaster in my info, but I'm not, I'm a Systems Administrator / Platform Architect. I have a degree in Marketing Management, so I know a few things, though I don't earn a living from it.

                                                                                                                                              This is what I have to tell you:

                                                                                                                                              Before the industrial revolution there was more demand than offer; After the industrial revolution there's the opposite, there's more offer than demand.

                                                                                                                                              So, you need to understand why people spend their money on other products/services and not yours... Why do they pick others? Why are others asses and boobs on display are better than yours?

                                                                                                                                              Is it because they serve videos with more quality? Their site is more flow? No chunking?


                                                                                                                                              For a trade to happen, both sides need to recognize value on the trade. You customer must see value on what you are offering him so that he pays you.

                                                                                                                                              I dont know, but porn seems like impulse purchasing, this means, people either buy it when they check it out, because if they wait 3 or 4 days to take the decision, they might not get back to subscribe.

                                                                                                                                              You should have analytics to answer your questions otherwise, there's nothing than hypothesis.


                                                                                                                                              But like I said, I dont run porn of my own. I have mounting infra-structure/cloud for a friend who showed me this forum, and I'm looked at a few days of stats... but from what I see, porn sells itself ;)

                                                                                                                                                      These are some examples of 21st Century (contemporary) marketing successes. They all involve a past-time business segment (transportation, retailing, finance,entertainment) where a neglected market segment was secured from the incumbent who had neglected this under served consumer segment. These usurpers captured their neglected market segment initially -- then have scaled out that segment.

                                                                                                                                                      In a short sentence: Disruptive Marketing.

                                                                                                                                                      The old rules seem to no longer apply.

                                                                                                                                                      Read The Intention Economy by David "Doc" Searls (Harvard Business Review Press 2012) and read it with contrarian eyes also -- very enlightening ;0)

                                                                                                                                                          Top worry should be to engage with the people who visit a site. If getting the traffic was the first priority. This game would be like it was back in the day. Now the consumer is educated and spoilt for choice. Which is why the bounce stats on Pornhub are so low.

                                                                                                                                                          If you're good at getting people to your site and they see the same old stuff they've seen before. They move on. Wasted exercise.

It says I'm a webmaster in my info, but I'm not, I'm a Systems Administrator / Platform Architect. I have a degree in Marketing Management, so I know a few things, though I don't earn a living from it.

                                                                                                                                                                  This is what I have to tell you:

                                                                                                                                                                  Before the industrial revolution there was more demand than offer; After the industrial revolution there's the opposite, there's more offer than demand.

                                                                                                                                                                  So, you need to understand why people spend their money on other products/services and not yours... Why do they pick others? Why are others asses and boobs on display are better than yours?

                                                                                                                                                                  Is it because they serve videos with more quality? Their site is more flow? No chunking?


                                                                                                                                                                  For a trade to happen, both sides need to recognize value on the trade. You customer must see value on what you are offering him so that he pays you.

                                                                                                                                                                  I dont know, but porn seems like impulse purchasing, this means, people either buy it when they check it out, because if they wait 3 or 4 days to take the decision, they might not get back to subscribe.

                                                                                                                                                                  You should have analytics to answer your questions otherwise, there's nothing than hypothesis.

I have mounting infra-structure/cloud for a friend who showed me this forum, and I'm looked at a few days of stats... but from what I see, porn sells itself ;)

                                                                                                                                                                  Marketing, as you know, is about emphasising the benefits of a product and getting the product seen. Often by emphasising those benefits. Marketing can't sell the product if the product is crap. Salesmanship can't sell shit twice. This is why some sites have 100,000s of members or retained visitors and some 10s.

                                                                                                                                                                  What far too many rely on is getting traffic. And they fail. Even in selling porn. Because porn itself no longer guarantees a sale. It has to be bloody great porn today.

Sales relied on just getting traffic, now people have become far more discerning.

If getting the traffic was the first priority. This game would be like it was back in the day. Now the consumer is educated and spoilt for choice. Which is why the bounce stats on Pornhub are so low.

                                                                                                                                                                      If you're good at getting people to your site and they see the same old stuff they've seen before. They move on. Wasted exercise.

They all involve a past-time business segment (transportation, retailing, finance,entertainment) where a neglected market segment was secured from the incumbent who had neglected this under served consumer segment. These usurpers captured their neglected market segment initially -- then have scaled out that segment.

                                                                                                                                                                          The question was.

                                                                                                                                                                          So, you need to understand why people spend their money on other products/services and not yours... Why do they pick others? Why are others asses and boobs on display are better than yours?

                                                                                                                                                                          Is it because they serve videos with more quality? Their site is more flow? No chunking?

                                                                                                                                                                          Why do you choose to post here, buy the car you bought, buy Prime Beef instead of offcuts?

                                                                                                                                                                          People buy because they're lied to or want/need what they buy.

                                                                                                                                                                          As for more quality. A webcam site is a level playing field, the consumer picks the best quality girl for his needs, or moves to another site. Image quality and flow are problems that should always be fixed.

                                                                                                                                                                          There's another way of marketing girls to consumers before they arrive a site. That's making a marketing video of her. Howard Stern would be a good place to start getting inspiration from. Saying it can't be done isn't an option.

                                                                                                                                                                              What do you make besides recycling your posts on a daily basis?

                                                                                                                                                                              I have a lot to show for it. Enough money to retire on with no money owed, no debt and enough pensions to tide me over till I die.

                                                                                                                                                                              Obviously, you have no clue who I am. I was in porn before a lot of you were born and retired because at 58 my wife and business partner had a disastrous accident 6 months later and she was back walking. I discovered I had cancer. Two years late I had beat it and for 30 months neither of us worked. We lived off the money we have.

                                                                                                                                                                              Google my name + porn.
