Here is the problem with asking this question now (Jan 2 2009).
Most people are emotional sissy boys, so because its Jan 2 the start of a new year, they have to yell and scream all this motivational hope garbage and cant see the facts at the moment.
If you would of asked this same very question Dec 20 2009 you would of gotten more of an honest answer from people.
Having said that, I agree with you 100% and anyone who disagrees is a total fool.
Signups are down across the board, I don?t care what you offer, they are down, mainstream products adult products, paysites etc, im diversified enough to know facts, not the silly fiction most here shit out of their mouth.
Am I hopeful, well yeah, but so are the several million people who buy lotto every day. You can?t just sit back and relax because you are hopeful, when Moses and the Israelites arrived to the red sea and he had the Egyptians chasing after them, the Israelites where hoping that the sea will split in half. God tells Moses to raise his stick over the oceans and the Sea will split. The question is did god really need Moses to lift his stick for him to split the sea? The message is, being hopeful is cool but you must make an effort too.
Unfortunately it?s a double whammy, not just is business down because of the overall economy, fraud and free porn its also down because of lack of innovation, and I can credit that to the lazy bums all over the place, there is opportunity out there, ideas, money etc. but to many lazy fucking dicks who will have to be wall mart greeters at age 75 because they are currently lazy pieces of shit.
Sites are completely closing shop, and I don?t blame them, this is a business not a charity organization, if you can?t make money move on.
You will have to really understand the surfer, how he/she behaves in order to sell him/her anything, adult or non adult. But again making changes = taking action and that is going against the incredible laziness that is going around.
My goal for this year is simple, shake off every lazy fucker around me, these people have negative attitudes and are full of excuses and will kill your business, symptoms of a lazy fucker? Well you throw out an idea that involves him doing something and he throws back 100 reasons why it?s not a good idea or why it?s best to do it next week Friday, but here is the kicker, if you would of told him you are hiring someone to do that same concept for you he would of told you wow def. sounds great. It?s kill or be killed, these people are your enemies, so move on.
Let?s go over a few real examples and discuss the laws of progression.
AOL provides dial up service ? At one point they had over 35 Million subscribers, they where taking in about a billion dollars a month just off that. In 1998 They where urged to start looking into buying a cable provider so they can start the process of providing high speed services to their clients. They where on CNBC claiming that since most people only use it for email and don?t spend much time online the cost of $60 a month (back then on avg) won?t be justified. That was pure laziness talking. Today we all know what aol has, jack shit, they had 35 million subscribers and they could have been the largest high speed internet provider today. Verizon now is working on fios and without a doubt in 5 years from now everyone will be surfing using fiber and wifi will be as common as water regardless where you are.
Blockbuster ? founded in 1985, by far the place where several million people rent DVD?s a day, in 1998 they where asked over and over about if they feel netflix will have an effect on their business. They replied by saying that part of the movie watching experience is going to a stroe and renting the movie. Well this year alone that attitude can be credited to the closures of 980 blockbuster stores, and netflix has over 8 million people using that service. AGAIN the root cause of this stupidity is laziness, because making change means taking action. In turn blockbuster will be a company off the map within a few years.
Barnes and Noble ? by far they could have been the amazon of the online world, they should have been the ones to innovate a product like kindle, heck they where around since 1920! But the laziness and the constant telling themselves that nah the consumer is happy and amazon wont make it is why they will soon join borders and start closing store after store.
I have made tons of mistakes by not being realistic with myself of where certain things are going, and by listening to others and not going with my gut feelings on things. I am making this post not to insult anyone but rather to share my point of view. But once I started changing my mindset god helped and things started to work out.
Everything progresses.
Pigeons ? telegrams ? faxes ? email
Office phone where a secretary answers and manually plugs in a line to get you transferred ? regular phone systems ? automated pbx ? speech recognition ivr?s
Dialup ? DSL ? Cable ? Fiber
Cell phone large and bulky ? Smaller ? Analog ? Digital ? all the way to now complex tiny computer in your hand touch screen (remember those palms with a pen?)
Records ? Cassettes ? CD ? MP3?s
BBS ? AOL / Yahoo Chat ? Dating Sites ? Social Networking Sites / Twitter World
I can go on and on, to think that this won?t continue is stupid. Figure out where the progress is going and start working within that right now. Stop asking mommy and the girlfriend what they think of your idea.
Not being lazy goes against human nature, that?s why 99% of this planet is poor. Go against the grain, maybe live like Geroge Kastanza for a day and do everything the opposite you would usually do.
There is no doubt the next stage in porn will be 3D quality jerk off material, notice I said jerkoff material, not 20-40 minute flicks but rather 5 minute loop quality to the point jerk off stuff.
Dating and social networking are about to change too and so will every industry.
Walt Disney had a interesting way of thinking, when his engineers presented him with something he?s always say ?let?s plus it?, that?s why even some of the stuff they produced in the 50?s is still considered advanced even by today?s standards.
Here is a tip, if you have say an idea about a new concept for a site, ask yourself the following ?If a site like that would have been around already, what would you do to beat them?? Take your answer and make that your project.
Thinking what I wrote is junk is ok, but not reading it because it?s too long further will prove the laziness inside.
Happy New Year to all and I only wish the best to everyone, Im happy when I see people happy and making shit loads of money!
