time is running out for the newbies...
I have been watching websites that deliver porn over the past 6 years (don't kid yourself, this is not the PORN industry), and it looks like the time is coming for CONSOLIDATION.
All these newbies out here thinking there is easy money selling porn reminds me of the days before the dot-com bubble burst, or the stock market bubble, or the collectibles bubble, or the mortgage refinancing bubble, or just about any other bubble of the past 20 years. There are a skyrocketing number of websites out there all offering porn, and a lot of it is FREE. Plus, all this irritating popup and advertising crap is just training everyone to tune out any kind of sales message and to get pop-up blockers. The day is coming for a HUGE shakeout. If you do not already have access to at least 5 years of website and programming experience, save your time and money and go do something else. |

yes, the good old days are over.
wasn't it just great when you had your busty-amateurs content, built a little free site and submitted it to dmoz? 2 or 3 weeks later the aol traffic came. aol = sales it was so easy... I need a hug ![]() After all the bad words during the last days, I think I should open a "Hug" thread where we all just hug each other. Yeah, I feel like hugging right now... |

why does someone always come on here spouting this crap... they've been saying it for years now. people will come and go; newbies and seasoned veterans alike. stop whining about it getting harder and start learning how to work smarter.

So far we are still expanding. Dozens of paysite programs opened up this year. The only reason we did not get more was the VISA stuff. if anything that helped make the growth more managable. So we have more sites but we also have more buyers.

Tell me about it. A year ago I made $4000 monthly by submitting TGP galleries, now it's more like $400.
Traffic sucks, sponsor conversions suck, I suck.

As people have said before me - maybe the easy bucks are gone, but its still very possible to make a living and succeed in the industry. Its a growth market, more and more people are getting online every day, and the internet is the perfect medium for selling porn.
Please, PLEASE tell me who you are, and how you of all people know that the sky is falling? ![]() |

Lots of people say the industry is dying because they and all their friends are getting huge ratio's. Everywhere they look they see people in the same situation.
That doesn't neceassarily mean it's industry-wide. It just means that particular circle of webmasters (and it may be a very large one) is expierencing those bad numbers. Yes, the main circle seems to be going down the toilet though. Stop reading the resource site articles as if they are fact (it's far from it), and stop listening to the guys who've been around awhile but have no real talent. |

I'll admit, my days of hottrotting it on the web are long gone. After seeing so many bubbles and so many busts, this bubble is following all the signs of so many previous ones.
It is sort of like the market for clone PCs of the 80s, or even the search engine makers of the mid 90s, or the rush to produce cars, or whatever. In the beginning, you get people who are genuinely interested in the technology and in providing something meaningful. They take risks and are rewarded by making lots of money and establishing good reputations. When people see that success, they want to copy it. This is when you get all the copycats. Once the copycats jump in, the good days go bye bye. Why? You have a bunch of get rich quick and scam artists trying to exploit the opportunities that were there for the pioneers. They are not in it to actually provide something meaningful, their only goal is to make money. When money is your main concern, the customer becomes secondary. People get in the industry with no understanding that this is a software business. Successful websites use all kinds of software, such as message boards, media players, slideshows, gallery makers, instant messaging, real-time video, credit-card processors, authorization scripts, etc. It does not matter what type of website you have, you NEED top-notch software. These claims of so-called limitless growth are the same types of claims that are made during the height of almost any bubble. Believe me, nothing is limitless. At some point, the market will be saturated (if that is not already the case) and a HUGE shakeout will occur. Someone made a great point that if you produce content, such as movies or images, then it is a whole different story. That is being in the PORN industry. But, if you run a website, you have to follow the rules of running a good website. Most newbies just do not understand this nor have the experience to accomplish it. The days of the pioneer are over. Now is the time for the professionals. |

It is funny that you mention what newbies are doing. That is one point I want to make. While the professionals are delivering meaningful value to the customer, the newbies can cause a lot of harm for everyone (so can the professionals, but if they have been around awhile, it is a lot less likely).
All you need is a newbie to get the idea that spamming the whole universe is a great idea to compensate for their lack of experience to give everyone a black eye. Now no one can make any kind of business proposal without hearing SPAM a hundred times. All you need is a newbie to get the idea that throwing up 100 popus on a web page is a good idea. Pop-up blockers didn't even exist 4 years ago. All you need is a newbie to get the idea that being a script kiddie can get them some easy bucks from unsuspecting visitors. Now everyone has some kind of virus scanner, port blocker, or personal firewall. All you need is a newbie to get the idea that bait-and-switch is a good idea for getting some easy money. Now no one trusts any website, except for the major ones. There was a time when a startup website got the benefit of the doubt, now you are guilty until you can prove otherwise. Professionals do not operate this way. They know this type of behavior is self-defeating and unproductive. Understand, the web is not an island or a vacuum. It is an interconnected worldwide network of computers. You can spread bad just as easily as good almost instantaneously, with or without experience. My advice, it makes no sense to encourage the inexperienced and naive to offer a porn website with promises of easy money. All it does is make it harder on everyone. |
