It's much harder for me to sit down and make hosted galleries for tgp's to use (I do all that work myself as well).
I understand that you are doing great on tubes. But to insinuate that it's somehow "hard" to give away free scenes is just not true.
I'm a one man show over here...and it's not hard at all. And for those out there that don't protect their content, it's even EASIER. People will just steal it from your members area and upload the whole damn scene! Nothing "hard" about that.
I have to laugh when I see folks saying "Oh, it used to be easy to make money, but now it takes all these magical skills that only a few of us possess"
No...I've always worked long hours to make my money. It's why I'm successful and have had sustained success making the money I do since 1996. It's NEVER been "easy".
But it was always PROFITABLE. Incredibly so! Today? Not so much. People just don't spend as much money now on porn. And whether anybody in this thread wants to admit it or not: The overwhelming majority of people no longer pay for porn. Whatever money that we are all making now...we COULD be making 1000 times that much if it weren't for piracy and hundreds of thousands of free full scenes on the internet.
Yes...it's smart to work within the situation that we are faced with and strive to prosper. But to think that this is a booming industry is just not true (unless you own one of the big tube sites)

The hard work comes from doing the split testing and redesign and re-editing and re-testing on each and every aspect of every creative from textlink/banner to landing page to join - so that is more than doing tgp galleries even - and you already said you don't do that since your dick tells you everything you need to know when it comes to why something works or not when you put up a clip.
Also, since the early days when programs seeded password sites with passwords to stuff surfers into their sites, then cut them off, then watch the sign ups roll in - people have been using "free" and "stolen" etc to get sales. You have been around long enough to know this.
