Yes people have liked their niche for a long time, so why people who haven't a clue about it, think they can shoot, publish or sell it to these people is beyond me.

Well in truth they don't. They pepper the free sites with samples hoping some will looks and a few will buy.

Before anyone tells me I'm regretful I missed the boat or didn't adapt when I should of. Maybe they're right. Maybe in 2002 I should of flown back to the UK, left Eva, our daughter and the business for her to run. And built on what I was doing at Astral Blue.

IMO doing a paysite with Czech girls then wouldn't of worked well. Can't speak English and IMO once a girl doesn't talk, she loses her personality.

But the people who missed the boat and didn't adapt most was those in online porn.

The Internet gave them opportunities offline porn never ever had. Delivered to someones home. Niches that would never sell well enough offline, would sell enough to make them profitable online. The ability to grow, develop and evolve the product almost instantly was awesome. Magazines are 3 months from editors desk to shop. Videos once there out it's done.

Paysite could react and create like noting offline could.

And in one aspect we did. We grew, developed and evolved giving away free porn to the best we could. In the belief that no matter how ratios got worse, more people would be coming online to buy.

Welcome to 2011. We have 1,000s consuming free for every 1 who buys anything.

Argue about the figures, it might only be 500 consume free to 1 buying. That's 499 not buying nothing and a failure.
