so far the sales have been steady and enough for me to justify continuing to offer it. Larry Flynt was said "we work in the only industry where the demand doesn't go down when the price goes up" well I think the demand is still there but with customers having the overwhelming access to free porn there needs to be a strategy change IMO. We haven't changed our prices since the beginning of the online era...sites were $20 - $30 back in 1999 and are still in that price range today. I think its stubborn and naive to think that people will still pay the same price....don't a lot of people wait for prices on things to drop to buy? like flat screen tvs and bluray players etc...why should our business be different? When it's free all over the place why will they layout $30 a month? If you make it more reasonable then I think it suddenly becomes a much more attractive offer to get it in it's original quality rather than shitty flash streaming or resized and watered down versions.
I think that customers have sent a strong message to us that when it's free they'll sacrifice quality....but if it were to be a price that is justifiable, then maybe they would pull the trigger more easily?

I asked for a month for them to show me the proof of charge backs and they said they were not required to. I was told my account had been cancelled and Karl stopped replying to me yet I continued to get email notifications daily that sales were being made by my referring link and at the EXACT same rate that they were prior to the claim of charge backs? very suspicious to me. oh well, I wrote it off because I can afford to and $4k isn't worth crying over....maybe Mr. B should do the same over his claim of me owing him $200 since 2006 lol

If $4k is such a paltry amount that isn't worth crying over then why not pay the guy his measly $200 pittance and get him out of your hair and your thread for good? I swear some of you people would rather lower yourselves to pissing back and forth rather than working out a solution or just flat out dealing with a problem. The guy obviously feels strongly that he's owed, he's provided proof there was an agreement on your part, so why not just end it already and make things right?

Which brings me to Brad Mitchell, the lone voice of reason here. + rep for offering a way to settle the matter.

To the topic at hand, I think this promo would have been better implemented as a special links promo. That is, type-in links can be to a reduced price point. Special promo codes can be used by interested affiliates to direct surfers to the reduced cost promo. And normal links would be unaffected and show referred customers the full price point.

In doing it as an opt-in promo to affiliates, it would instantly remove any potential negativity associated with the perception by some of potentially reduced sales commissions.

Brad is a great guy, but I won't accept the money from him, that wouldn't be right at all. And you seem like a pretty good voice of reason yourself, if I could rep you I would:thumbsup

My parents taught me not to steal a penny. He would say "dont cheat anyone son, A penny or a pound, it doesnt matter, its still stealing."


Im not getting involved with the who owes what... just the point of lunacy that you say about the amount.


Good luck with the deal of $10! Personally to say that you get 2 or 3 sales for the single fee, I would have thought you found a better deal lowering that "non recurring" fee to $34.95 or something. We get a lot more, only charging that little extra than the recurring, but enough :2 cents:

Seriously? That's all you have to say?

At the very least let Brad know he doesn't have to pay your debt for you. Sad Mariah, very sad. :Oh crap

Sometimes what you don't say sometimes speaks volumes about your character. This is one of those instances.

Hey guys...I came up with an idea over the weekend to offer full memberships for $10 for the entire month of October. For one I wanted to get to the next goal I have for number of members and secondly I want to test and see if price matters at all to surfers. In the past I had increases in signups when I raised my monthly from $24 to $29 and I still get at least 3 or 4 $49.95 1 month non recurring signups a day which baffles me. but i think it says that porn customers (I purposely used the word customer instead of surfer!) are more aware of recurring memberships and will pay double to avoid the hassle of cancelling. The big message that sends to me is that there needs to be a strategy shift on our parts so I'm gonna test this $10 membership out. So far since I changed it around noon I have 37 signups for $10. I usually average between 35 and 40 signups a day at $24.92 so I'm a little ahead of the average but not by much. so far only 2 of the 37 have cancelled which was my biggest concern that I would get a bunch of signups that cancelled immediately like they used to on trials before I went to a limited trial.

What are your thoughts on this idea? Has anyone else tried this to see how it goes and if so what were the results? I've gotten 3 emails so far from people asking if it's for real.

I hope things are going well

Mariah,

Please contact me regarding our outstanding agreement.

Thanks,
Billy

Then you will go to bed smarter than when you woke up, I also like long walks on the beach and romantic comedies as long as Hugh Grant isn't in them.
