It depends on what you know how to do. There are too many n00bs think they can take a computer class at their community center or read a book and expect to be able to make money online and since they don't make money and porn is faster to access because of faster internet speeds and there is more now than before because of very cheap hosting and freehosts, they think no one is buying anymore..  |
Mike has said it in one.
I'm making no accusations that the content isn't 100% legal as I do not know. Just using Mike's site as an example of 100s if not 1,000s of sites.
With little money invested and probably little to run the sites, he's able to make money giving away free porn to sell advertising space. He doesn't give us a clue what the income is or where it comes from.
Is he giving away recorded porn to sell advertising space to dating and webcam sites or sell traffic? Looking at his site goldporn-tube.com I see dating, webcams and traffic. With a premium area, which I'm not sure is owned by him or a feed. Does he own all the content, is it all user submitted or given to him by sponsors?
How much of the cost of the videos, that people come to his site to view for free, was met by him or his advertisers? Could he even run the site without the contributions of porn producers?
So I clicked on a video that costs money to produce. BDSM and good from what I can see.
This is the new model of porn. Getting millions of people to look at free porn, selling clicks at a few dollars a 1,000 and losing $billions.
It's easy, cheap and makes enough to run a small business for most. Long term it will kill production of new good porn, paysites and reduce the industry to this level. There's no way out, so make money while you can and
SAVE SOME. Because it will not last.
Of course people still buy porn today, just not as much as they used to in the past and more than they will in the future.
It's a model that can't be changed.
