Best week ever - GoFuckYourself.com

gothweb · 04-26-2003, 10:58 AM

Our sites are having the best week ever. (We're still small, but we're edging up on medium at a pretty nice pace.)

Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone else was seeing unusually high sales. It is always nice to know how much of the improvement is general market forces, and how much is me doing something right.

Plus, it gives anyone else who is happy with their week a chance to gloat too. ;)

Since the war has ended (well for the most part) my sales have doubled which is great. This week has been excellent.

gothweb · 04-26-2003, 11:14 AM

Maybe that's it... the end of the war. Though, since I seem to be having a 'best week ever' every few weeks, I think it's safe to say it is real growth.

What comes up, must come down.

The point when I don't feel tiny, but still know I am not big, I guess. Nothing specific.

Jon · 04-26-2003, 02:36 PM

European Lee · 04-26-2003, 02:36 PM

Woah. That's pretty quick... Think it will hold up?

Jon · 04-26-2003, 02:39 PM

I sure as hell hope so.

It jumped pretty quickly, and has been staying at those higher levels all week long...

quiet · 04-26-2003, 02:41 PM

my sales are extremely stable. very little change from week to week, or month to month.

I am still small enough that I don't trust the statistical probability thing... I want to see it last a bit before I assume much.

Though, this looks nice to me. This is since I regained control early this year... (Actual numbers removed, of course.)

The key to stability is not putting all your eggs in one basket.

AOLGuy · 04-26-2003, 02:56 PM

My week is up, my month is looking to close as my best ever.

And strangely, my percentages have shifted more towards making 85% from my own site subscriptions, whereas sponsors used to comprise 40% of my income. Thankfully, the $$ of sponsor sales is roughly stable--the growth is coming from my own site converting much better.

I keep trying out different sponsors, but nothing seems to outsell IInnocent and Nasty Dollars for me.

Why don't more people want to rent adult DVDs by mail? That is the only sponsor I've pushed that I really thought would get a huge pop. And the others I've tried failed to yield more than 1 sale on 1000 clicks.

The only downside to the month is that I paid a TGP submitter service for my own site and saw 2 signups return on the investment.

Still, not much I can complain about for April.

All in all, I think I will need to figure out a way to run some sort of affiliate program to move things beyond much further in terms of gross revenue.

Me too except best since September instead of best ever

gothweb · 04-26-2003, 03:30 PM

Sounds like the usual proportion of people are doing well, but not really more. I guess that means I must have done something right. Now to work out what it was, so I can do it again.

I have already set a new record, but I am hoping those last 8 hours go well, too. So far, today has been nice nice nice.

slapass · 04-26-2003, 04:16 PM

Sales are up across a fairly large group of sponsors for me so I think it was the war or something. CFF fell off my radar and still having the best week I have ever had.

I was saying congrats

I was offline for almost a month because my mac died and I am on a borrowed one now.. I am hopeful I can sell that pay site design I put into my sig and buy one.

gothweb · 04-26-2003, 04:26 PM

A lot of people seem to think the perceived end of the war had something to do with it... So, then the question becomes... Who is doing better now than they were before the war?

a1ka1ine · 04-26-2003, 04:51 PM

hmm things are good... :-)

everything is steadily growing...

i dont think the war has had a major influence on sales, but im drunk so muy opinion doesnt count ;-s

gothweb · 04-26-2003, 06:42 PM

(If that were the case half of the posts on here would have to be filtered.)

Looking forward to waking up in the morning to my stats for this week.

natas · 04-26-2003, 06:46 PM

sales were slow this month but have improved since the end of the war for me. definately.

AKFK can you please hit me up? 156 55 034

It's an iinnocent question.

cheers

gornyhuy · 04-26-2003, 06:59 PM

Sorry Ian, I am going to have to charge back the thousands of signups I made on my credit card this month. I was just trying to impress Undine with my big spending! Do you think she'll go out with me now?

Congrats!

well, i am definitely doing better and making more money now than before the war, but in our case, we have been doing remarkably well ever since the war really got started... signups started pouring in the minute they began flinging bombs it seems; this week isn't too much better than the last 4 weeks have been, and its all been good. i only hope it keeps up a while longer before the dreaded "summer slowdown" begins..!
