Making money in Jan, and you? Still asking to check sites for sale and then complaining about the price saying that you would do it yourself for 10% of the asked price?

My clients sales are up - perhaps you need to adjust your strategy ahead of time for the possibility of difficult months. Yet over the years I've heard sales are down because - "it's christmas or it's a holiday or summer everyone is out - from back to school to tax seaon everyone attempts to create a false narrative on low sales. NOTE the world does not operate on American calendar or events.
Now January on a webmaster side is difficult because many are at a trade show.

As for the trade shows: there are no 'webmasters' there like me. LOL Trade shows are filled with Billers, Cam Studios, Traffic Brokers and Dating shills. The sales that come from these places roll on regardless of the shows. No, this January is worse than any since 2014 (according to my years of sales stats).

OneHungLo: I am pretty sure that TheLegacy possesses greater experience and access to a broader range of statistics than you do. I've had the privilege of knowing Legacy for quite some time, and he is a very valuable source of information and insights to his clients. It would greatly benefit you to take into account what he freely offers here and consider listening to his perspective.
As for the January sales slump, of course it will be different for everyone. If your sales usually drop in January, it could be due to slow traffic and less interest, but it could also be due to the fact that your own product has not been refreshed since December. Any service provider can boost their sales back up by offering some new content, or discount, or both. Even boosting sales and marketing can easily help. The only ones who would know for sure if sales drop in January, are the payment processors, as they see ALL of the data at a glance. If your sales are down, call your CCBill rep and ask him if it is typical or not. Good luck!

Oh - and contacting the Biller to ask how OTHER companies' sales are going through the Biller...yeah that will happen. LOL "Everything is great!" would be the useless answer. Besides, would you want a Biller revealing your sales info to another client? Man January is bringing out the stupid this year.

and I rely on my 31+ years of sales/marketing and SEO experience and statistics - that's twice as many as you've been in this industry. Do sales drop? yes. Do sales drop for my clients? No. That's what I was saying Do you need me to connect any dots for you? Maybe I need to since you feel my posts are out of touch - perhaps they are just going over your head.

You mentioned relying on your own 15+ years of experience in sales and statistics. However, this approach has a flaw. Despite accumulating over a decade and a half of experience, it essentially offers you a sample size of just one porn site (or just one porn company, or just one porn producer, you). In simpler terms, your perspective is based solely on the statistics of a single company or person, rather than drawing insights from multiple businesses (a larger and more diverse sample). In contrast, TheLegacy by default, possesses a larger dataset on pornsite traffic and sales than you do, and therefore, his opinion may matter more than yours. You can learn from him. Even experts can learn from other experts my friend. Additionally, if you've been collecting statistics for 15 years, you may have observed a historical pattern of sales slumping in January. With this information, you could make informed predictions that each January will likely be slower. Why not take proactive measures to prepare for it? If your website traffic decreases, consider implementing strategies to boost it such as improved SEO, or Paid traffic, or even some crappy Twitter traffic. Similarly, if your sales drop, you could contemplate offering special promotions or discounts to counteract the downturn, couldn't you? Offer 2 months for the price of one, and call it the "January Sales Sucks Special". Peace.

Or was the above over your head? Don't insult me as I did not insult you, just your generalized unhelpful (to me) posts on this topic. Quote:
As for asking Billers etc: I run almost 100 paysites and four Affiliate Programs. I have stats going back years for all these properties and I am saying THIS January is unusual. Is it a skewed persepctive I alone share with my myopic view of only my stats? Obviously not, thus this thread. And finally I appreciate your helpful suggestions on how to increase traffic but if I have survived all this time don't you think I have done all you suggest and 10x more? Besides, I didn't say this was a traffic issue. Traffic is about the same, even up a little. Again it's about conversions and actual sales being down. Peace to everyone.

PornNerd,
I didn't know that you were running 100 sites. That's impressive man, good jerb. So here's a question for you: Can you look at your data, all of your traffic, all of your sales etc, and see if you can't find out why sales are slower in January? We can all take guesses at the reasons why, but since you have that data, what does it tell you? What CAN it tell you? If you want to share it with me, I can help you to figure it out. I'll even sign an NDA or some other agreement if you want. It could be really interesting...

Short answer: due in part to Covid fatique people spent like drunken sailors in 2023 on travel, credit cards, gifts, etc. But the overall economy is down so there is no room for these people to recover quickly as in past years. So they spend less. Quote:

If I were you I would look at the following: - Is my traffic volume more or less the same? - Are my traffic sources the same? - Is the frequency of my new content publishing the same? - Is the quality of my new content the same level as previous content? - Has the interests of my customers shifted? (Are you asking them?) - Do my customers have about the same amount of disposable income as they have in the past? - Is there new types of content (Instagram / TikTok) they are more interested in? - Are my competitors out-performing me? If so, how? - Is my website under-performing in SEO? - Etc... My point is that yes of course, Covid is probably partially responsible. Some people lost work, others are spending more money on other things, probably lots of babies were born post-covid and now parents have new costs associated with those little buggers, etc. But since you have all of that data, don't you owe it to yourself as an employee of your own company to dig through it? Maybe you will find something out that you can fix, and then boost your sales. Sorry to press you on this - I love data. If I were you I would be buried in those numbers all nigth long. (Sorry ladies!)

The sales are low indeed but also the SEO, link building, and partnerships where allways the keys to success .. those should not ever be ignored.
