Paysites do not make any money. - GoFuckYourself.com

AaronM · 05-01-2003, 02:48 AM

In December of 2002 I shifted my focus from shooting content for others to shooting it for my own paysites. I have always been a stats junkie and my home page is set to Epoch so that I am reminded to review the stats often.

I just took a look back at the monthly figures since December and even though I see the numbers every day, I was still shocked at what I saw.

For any of you who are considering starting your own paysites, I highly suggest you go flip burgers instead. There is no money or future in this business.

Now I am going to go cry myself to sleep so that I am rested well enough to decided on what options I want to order on my new car.

Brujah · 05-01-2003, 02:53 AM

Ok.

Brujah · 05-01-2003, 02:55 AM

I quit. No, really.

boneprone · 05-01-2003, 02:56 AM

Its a shame you make so little with your paysite that u are only getting one of those things and not two,

If you are lucky you can maybe get your 2nd in June.

Better get your act together though.

Those better than avarage ratios arent gunna cut it.

YOu need Jesus like ratios bro,

Yeah well.....I figure if we are already throwing money out the fucking window then I might as well start producing another first of a kind site. God knows it will be a waste of resources as well but at least it keeps me busy trying to make a living.

It's a hard knock life and all that shit.

If I am not careful, I may end up in my 50's, shooting content of young girls just so they will talk to me, living in a cramped ass apartment, and riding a bike all over the city of Portland while trying to remain Unseen by anybody who knows me.

What a shitty, pitiful life that would be. Perhaps I should give up and go back to a mainstream job now.

SoBeGirl Video · 05-01-2003, 04:04 AM

I feel your pain bro. Look at me. SoBeGirl is selling New Release Video Content Picture sets for just $5 dollars each. What does that tell you?

No shit, YOu can get 200 sets now for just 1000 dollars. All downloadbable right away.

05-01-2003, 04:15 AM

I already have a profession as a RN. I dont expect making a living with my site.. I don't expect to be a milionnaire... But If It pay a few bills here and there and the money rolls hey that would be cool...

Never even thought I would have my own web biz... It's not even a gamble... Got nothing to loose but to try it...

I'm optimistic...Its for fun..... Yes it is hard work... But I love doing shoots... I hate editing lolol. My head is fucken spinning with all that i am learning...
When and if it becomes a pain in the ass and no more fun I will simply turn the page and say "Hey one more experience in my lauguage becasue all that I am learning is not lost knowledge it will follow me all my life.

That buisness is hard even for people with the knowledge and the technology... Does it take luck as well? Good contacts and a big ballet when you start? Always wondered that...

I wont need to flip burgers ...done that beed there...lol

awu · 05-01-2003, 04:55 AM

You heartless bastard.

Reak · 05-01-2003, 07:31 AM

No money in this bissiness or Future?
I think their is Big Money & a Long Long Future. Just because your Paysite didnt make cash doestn mean their is no other cash to make...

Sassyass · 05-01-2003, 07:31 AM

Pizza would be better money

LeeNoga · 05-01-2003, 07:38 AM

Your limiting your options AaronM.

Consider when your 50, being a "greeter" at Walmart.

That way you can tell sea stories of what the net was like back when you were young :-)

*wink*

I guess if your leaving the business, drag your friends with you.

SoBeGirl Video · 05-01-2003, 07:43 AM

AAron, now is the best time to have a pay site. In case you have not noticed, but the price for content, which is one of the biggest costs you have when owning a paysite, has never been cheaper. It does indicate something is amis in this biz but the smart business man takes advantage of this when it happens. So don't give up yet. Get SoBeGirl Video/Picture content sets at just $5.00 dollars a set...

$5 Dollar Video Picture Content Sets

Sobe, let me ask you, I started a content company in 1995 for webmastes and sold Zmaster off in 1999, is content biz the blows now and not worth the hassle?

All the money is streaming video and clips, or plug ins vs. image sets?

angelsofporn · 05-01-2003, 07:48 AM

paysite biz is a tough racket...so damn expensive if you want to keep fresh stuff all the time...i spend over 8k a month just on new content

Ross · 05-01-2003, 07:51 AM

Shit Aaron you should have said that times were hard mate! You can only afford one Mercedes AMG? hmmm I think you should double that order we placed with you a few weeks ago. I know its not much but I will feel better about sleeping at night !!!

No, but Sobe forgot a few classes in school. Right Sobe dear?

Carrie · 05-01-2003, 08:20 AM

Aaron, I feel your pain. Driving that Mercedes would only add insult to your injury, so let me be a friend and take it off of your hands for you. No need to have it sitting in your garage reminding you of this horrible incident.

FreeNetPass Steve · 05-01-2003, 08:39 AM

Damn, sorry to hear that Aaron. Just wait until you blow all your money on a house. What does that get you? Just another place to sleep.

(By the way, that's a pimpin ride. But nothing can compete with my Metro!)

It is support from the people like you that keeps me hopefull. You do not find this kind of helpfull attitude from most people in the mainstream job place.

Thank you for caring...You have just given me a reason to push my way through another dreary day of this useless paysite bullshit.

Anybody who says there is money in this business is full of shit but the friends I have made are worth more than a pot of gold.

Come on buddy don't give up so soon. Stop being defeatist.

So today you can only afford a 302, maybe if you got some good content (See signature) you might be able to get a good one soon.

Why do my smilies not work properly??

If thats the case you should probably stop shooting content to sell to those paysite owners or the tgp pushers who make money off those paysites. You feelin ok today man??
