What is your outlook on 2020?
 

I haven't started a thread here in so long... will be interesting to see what you all think 2020 will have in store for you and for the biz.

What is your outlook on the industry? Positive or negative? More consolidation and buyouts? More shakeups? New product trends?

What about your outlook on yourself? Often times if you can control your mind, body and overall health for the better, most everything else should follow. None of us are getting any younger but now that I'm in my 50s, more than ever is keeping my physical self together a priority.

Go...

one of my main issues .... already had 5 operations in my shoulders and elbows... :thumbsup

The industry will continue to shrink as more find free porn is better than paid porn.

Models will either go the route working independently with sites like Onlyfans or have a career in stripping and escorting to make up for the limited earnings from companies producing porn.

Affiliates will rely more and more on Dating and Cams as independent models can better promote themselveson social media.

Grim as fuck

Good original content still rules....many sites are making good money (including ours). But recycling old shit or creating new but crappy content will eliminate the recyclers, the shitty producers...and the solo models. Content was, is and always will be the King :thumbsup

...if only the fucking e mail worked better :1orglaugh

Was just thinking about you yesterday. How are you doing??

I gave up stress and now I drive truck cross country, this is a beautiful country!

Had to laugh the other day I saw a business sign that said BPL on it

Probably true. Glad, we were early to this party. :thumbsup

Not so good, cancer is back, kidneys are fucked and sleep a lot.

This is true. The problem for most are the skills required to shoot quality content at a profit. Some sites manage it and yours is one of those.

The problem for most is the ROI today sucks for most.

Like slapass I'm glad I made my money in the good times.

Most people will continue their downward spiral because they fail to adapt to current trends.

I still talk to people on an almost daily basis that don't take me seriously when I tell them that most people visit their websites on a phone.

Thanks :thumbsup...But even we had to change....comparing to 10 years ago, we shoot in 1/2 time and at about 1/4 budgets...yet still it is profitable business. Our ROI 60 to 90 days/ film. We have movies 15 years old still generating revenue. So why change ...?

My business will grow by leaps and bounds this year. Especially if I add an affiliate program.

I will pay more attention to the vitamins I need from food and try to balance them.

Definitely going to travel more. Going to Memphis on Tuesday and Puerto Rico on the 29th.

I mean how could someone not believe that? All you have to do is look at web stats and you can clearly see that mobile dominates all other platforms.

lool says the one that never made a coin in this biz.

the problem of this biz is that competitors like you are history.
i would also wich back the times when everybody was dumb like you - that was the time when money was really easy to make.

Fuck :(

What a real nasty guy Tommy is.

Water off a duck's back. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

No worries or sympathy. It's been a fun ride.

my outlook on 2020? i plan on fucking more dominicans, jews, navajos, siouxs, etc.

More buyouts and or mergers. Personally I like where I’m situated for 2020 and beyond. I have a proven product and more gadgets on the way. I can’t complain!!

Duke

He's the spawn of Nazis. It's to be expected.

I see a resurgence of the TGP, MGP, Pic Posts and Free Sites. Maximum 10 second clips. No don't want to give it all away for free!

Tubes will get even more traffic because of the young becoming the older group and not buying memberships to view content.

A small amount will be earned by girls doing their own thing on lower budgets, promoting, editing, camming, in some cases hooking, etc themselves. But it's a small market that wants that type of material and even if it were bigger no affiliates or companies except those offering platforms for them will take anything from it.

The winners will be the companies with their own large Tubes, or close liaisons, who can produce a product the consumer really wants to pay for. It will be around 1-10,000 so no one is getting mega-rich off it.

Good for you man :thumbsup

And yes... def more buyouts and mergers.

I am very sorry to hear this.

We are all getting older and health problems are becoming more common, with both industry people and my friends. At the end of the day... The only two things that matter is your health and your family.

My family are fine and as long as I take it slow I'm fine.

that's a great idea!!!

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup


There's a wholllllle lot of people in this business still stuck in 2005... let alone worrying about 2020.
