Sponsors were here in the 100s trying to teach affiliates how it was done and convincing them they had the tools that were needed. And there was very little apart from paysites to promote.

Today a paysite can convince Tubes to place their content near the top and if it's good enough content it gets a few sales. There are other means but nothing to compare. TGPs, Blogs, etc are small fry.

Then there are the various forms of buying traffic which is an art. The price traffic is sold at and the value of it tells you how good that traffic is.

The one exception is social media. I know a few girls earning a good living promoting themselves on social media, FB, Twitter, Snapchat, etc. The one thing they have to have is a good product and extensive coverage, few people sign up because they saw one picture.

I feel today the strength of anything lies in the product. There's so much available for free and for so long, that the potential member has to really be impressed with it. That can't be achieved by a crystal clear image or a great server/CMS. Those things are easy and duplicated everywhere.

What makes porn stand out is convincing the viewer that it's being done for real. Even if the set up is fake, the sex has to real. Girls, guys in the gay scene, that act like models doing a job are no longer convincing many to buy a membership. So producers and studio managers have to make sure girls put some heat into the action. Sadly some are not bothering.

The worse are some of those who buy in custom content or pay for studio time. No one bothers to push the girls and it remains pot luck if they put on a good show.

Now discuss this.
