    2010: The Industry. Adult Pay Site Prices.

    We are talking memberships here. The typical $29.95.

    Do you think that they are too high, too low, or about right and why?

    Keep in mind not everyone is trying to sell 1999 type of pay sites that are never updated and have 50 non-exclusive scenes that update once a week.

    Should You Email Your Members?

          I think you should change your prices to $500,000,000,000,000,000.00/wk, then wait for someone to join.

          Don't do anything else until someone joins. It might be a long wait, but when they do join, it will be well worth it... Trust me. Just keep waiting.

            In all seriousness, online pricing has always tripped me out. People pop into the local adult bookstore and shell out 30-40 bucks per title containing 5 scenes... Is that to high, given the competition absolutely.

            Online it always seems to hover in between 19.95 and 39.95... of which usually you are getting 3+ DVDs worth scenes... Is that to low? Given the competition offline, probably...

            I'm going to stick with it's just a cluster fuck.

              $14.95 to $19.95 is pretty good price for membership. I think once it hits that $20+ it looks expensive.

                      i love how people cherry pick competitors to justify your prices

                      you don't pick the highest priced competitor to make the comparision you take the lowest

                      that about as valid as arguing that selling vcr for 1k each is a good deal because high end vtr cost 10k.

                            I sell exclusive content for micro niches, selling it for less than $29.95 would be crazy...or stupid....both...
