Ahh.. Star Trek Deep Space Nine is on.. Ill try this one.

Micropayments may very well be the future but they won't be done through Paypal. Also, I'm willing to bet that there are a lot more paysites that end up never recovering their initial investment than there are paysites that actually turn a profit. I'm also not sure I believe that when all is said and done, someone like Lensman brings home more money than someone like the Hun despite the fact that Adult.com grosses SUBSTANTIALLY more than the top TGP.

Paysites are a pain in the ass, I wouldn't even think about it unless you have at least $1000000+ to spend and are willing to do this biz untill the end of days.

Thank you Fly et al. Grasshopper learn well.

P.S. My wife just left me. Why does life have to keep kicking me in the ass?

Kickin' you in the ass..??? Dude.. I prayed for that very thing for years! When it finally happened, I think I didn't stop the party for 6 months!

Exactly man...

All the jokes about Paypal... haha laugh but this "concept" is the future... look how well Paypal is doing with w/ ebay... the existance of credit cards is only a natural progression from paper money to purely electronic money. Convenience! Money wants to move freely. Your paysites wouldn't make much money if you had to wait for a check in the mail or if you had to phone in orders...

With electronic money you no longer have people worried about what charge is going to appear on their credit card... or what their wife will say when they see the billing statement... and you don't have to worry about your cc# being stolen. The whole system will move quicker and more smoothly.

You'll have freesites making micropayment profits off of each surfer and each other... and micropayment referral $... referral programs within referral programs... only on a micropayment level... click programs where the money moves back and forth instantly... freely accessed, linked sites will become the delivery system... a web cam provider will no longer lease its streams to x, y, and z paysites... they will just need one page or site with their cam content -- and you get micropayment money just for sending traffic to it -- and the girls on cam will get micropayment money to do shit for the surfers. It will all be quick, cheap, and very profitable. Packaging without personality will lose importance (and money).

Anyway I could go on and tell you how it will work but someday you'll scratch your crabs and say -- yeah The FLY predicted all that.

she's a beautiful person inside too. she just doesn't have any self-esteem. fucking mother-in-law.

Yeah some Mom are mean like that... My ex-girlfriend's mom told her that she was too ugly to have short hair...

hmmm... what if paysites drop webmasters programs and start building free sites to generate their own freesite traffic??? , maybe they already do it?

Anyway it would be impossible for all paysites to agree and do this, some will still want to have more "marketing tools" than their competitors.

I got out of the snack business because of the overhead and start up costs. So I can see the benefit to not getting into a pay site right away. I'm still mixed about the long term though. I too vote diversification.

Thats pretty fucking funny, I could have sworn reading that first sentence in the post that the last would have been...

Why do you think they call me Bill Gates?

But then again, what do I know about these kinds of things...

I still think USC will come back to win it all http://bbs.gofuckyourself.net/board/biggrin.gif

Regarding pay vs. free... the most successful people I know own both! More is always better http://bbs.gofuckyourself.net/board/wink.gif
