Interesting analogy. Porn is definitely going downhill as a whole.
You just have to get a shitload of traffic
and then sales still come.
But as your analogy says, without fresh content, new content delivery methods, better payment systems (as Jakez mentioned, good point Jakez) paysite saturation or worse surfer saturation on porn videos as a whole as they have tons archived, have seen it all, prefer Youporn as Howard Stern does, would rather jerk to HD celebrity on YT since HD porn is not well produced or all free on tubes, ect ect.
Porn paysite model is slowly dieing as a whole tho it seems. This January was worse than Last Jan for sales on tours I worked on all year. Could just be a bad month tho.
Better lately but the mid month lull was extra hard this month.
Saturation looms over you to swoop down QUICK as soon as you think you got a good thing in this biz as an affil or paysite owner.
We are all going to have to start building mainstream sites eventually which maybe in the end wont be so bad.
I think if you can build good sites that serve the populace and survive in the meantime till they are successful maybe there is a light.
But in porn as I see it now. It is pretty sad really as a whole.
Yes I make money but will I make money in five years or even two years or will it be dead or dieing still.
Will it be further leveraged down to 100 big sites who give away the whole farm.
I guess it already is. Just a matter of time till noone buys porn or it will take 10,000 unique hits to get a sale and rising..
Actually since I convert at 1 in 1000 to 1 in 1500 still on some stuff, maybe I am just being negative.
But that took 15 years of savvy to accomplish. Still i sense the pie went elsewhere (tubes? forums? traffic leveraging required?)
Generally the money does not come easy for most newbs that is for sure.
