It's obvious the customer isn't impresses with what we are selling,
enough to spend money on it. This isn't surprising after the decade of producing the content online porn does. Spending more money isn't going to solve the problem. Manwin have tons of money and spend a lot. The problem is what they're getting for the money. It's not very good.
Twistys as well, I can now talk about them as they are owned by Manwin. Shap claims he was moving into the upper end of the market. Well the truth is different. His members area is full of content that would never get into the better end. Well if a site wants to compete with in the upper end, they need a shooter who can produce upper end content. The members area wasn't. The result is conversion and retention rates that suck. Some of their shooter were good single shot shooters. They can produce a few good shots, producing a set isn't so easy. You need a Micheal Ancher, Viv Thomas, Steve Hicks level shooter to play in that field.
The same goes for many other niches. Online porn misses the niche because of the belief it could "market" itself out of trouble. 2008 and beyond reveals the truth.
Video, a video in widescreen that insists on shooting the girl standing up for a long time, becomes a scenery shot. Not porn
For todays widescreen and wide monitors the framing has to be landscapes as much as possible.
Too late on the free content. But spending more to give away free content than is spent on keeping customers happy and retaining is stupid. And that's what this industry does. It's called online porn marketing.
Don't worry, I'm happily retired on the money I made when the going was good for porn. Guys like you are in trouble. Probably little to fall back on. In an industry in massive decline, facing being out of a job and with a CV that lists online porn sites, many that will of closed by the time you're looking for a job.
Post your CV and we can see if you're employable outside online porn.
