You did a good job!

HowlingWulf 02-10-2010 09:24 AM

Congrats! I'm currently still in burnout phase.

i thought we were supposed to adapt or die?

instead of working smarter and harder we should come up with *innovative & revolutionary* business models such as giving away exclusive content for free............

having an office is the shit. good move, it definitely worked for me.

Raf1 02-10-2010 10:13 AM

nice to hear that. I quit working at home a few years ago and it was a very good decision.

I remember that post of yours in August and how you said you were gonna 'immerse' yourself in cams. I was wondering if you did any research into promoting cams and if so what conclusions did you come to? The reason I ask is that I never had any luck with them.

I have also seen a mild increase in paysite sales since that time but it's because I've been looking for needles in a haystack and promoting them when I find them. That is the toughest work. So many programs open up and announce how great they are to the world and before their sites are even fully loaded in the browser I close them seeing that they are the same old vanilla type porn ....

Good to hear!!!

Thanks for posting an update.

I did do some research on cams and had a few sales. I realize the cam business is like a parallel universe to paysite sales. Same concepts, but different sales techniques required.

Just like anything, it takes 100% focus to learn the ins and outs of the cam biz and to become good at it. and it takes time. Just throwing up a few banners ads to cam sponsors wont really rake in the cam sales. :2 cents:

I now make sure to include cams in my sales efforts, where as before I had zero cam promotions.

Have the same question as someone above - did you do any webcam work or did you just work on the paysite model? I have been away from the biz letting everything run on autopilot for a while and was wondering if you stuck just to the SE/hub concept or if you branched out any?

Sounds about right to me !!! :thumbsup

chupachups 02-10-2010 10:24 AM

Too damn funny. I am experiencing the exact same thing and moved in to my new office TODAY! :thumbsup

Congrats and move on :thumbsup

Hey Linkster... what I did branch out to is mobile porn & widening the scope of porn categories I was aiming at.

There are so many different categories/niches of porn its likely whatever online assets you own now only cover a relatively small portion.

You have to investigate where there are opportunities to expand your empire and hit them hard. Not just a couple links but whole sites that are devoted to that niche. I think its like some people say, concentrating on "niches" is key.

But I dont think you need to make a huge dramatic change like switching from paysites to webcams. It's kinda similar to how Apple did so well with the iPhone they went and launched the iPad - which is basically just a giant iPhone. They stuck to what they know and just expanded their market reach.

For example, european porn was something I never really focused on before but now I am generating a nice amount of sales to european pornsites. I don't think you have to venture too far from what's making you money now in order to increase sales significantly. :2 cents:

Linkster 02-10-2010 11:11 AM

Thanks - looks like I was already headed in the same direction as you :)
I agree on the mobile - and of course we both have always used the SE's to drive to our sites and not to paysite tours - so it looks like the same thing that worked 10 years ago just needs some fine-tuning to increase productivity
Niches -- That is the key!
Good luck to you - again

Love the Good News :)

bdld 03-11-2010 02:48 AM

i didnt agree with the cams/dating move, so im not surprised you didnt go that route, for me they never converted as good as paysites. lets day theres 200 niches in adult, 2 are cams and dating so i'd rather focus on the other 198, less competition.

babeguy09 03-11-2010 04:40 AM

Congrats Pornhero on your 1k..very motivating for a newbie like me :)

Well, I imagine that cams are a specific niche like any other. Just as you cannot convert regular adult traffic to foot fetish sites .... you will have a difficult time trying to do the same with cams. Dating on the other hand is usually ok.
