Yes TEEN is over saturated.

Fortunately lots of the sites don't cut it. Which leave a lot of very good money for those that do. Now tell us that you can't convert TEEN so no one else can. :1orglaugh

Do you want me to list all the sites that do cut it and make very good money or do you want to quit when you're behind?

The best thing I ever did was start investing heavily in content and feeds to keep members happy.... Rebills are what keeps me in business.

auto rebills where the surfer lets his card just be charged is really down regardless what site you have going, but if you have good updates they will come back and rejoin

Very true. We keep buying and adding to the site. It keeps members longer but the really good thing is the guys who come back in say 4 to 6 months to get all the new stuff. You have to please him the first time round though. :winkwink:

EB spot on.

I think the surfers we all sell to, in the main, are an educated lot. Of course some fear that and moan about, others are trying to educate them more.

I also think sites shot by one guy, one way, one style are very boring after a while. How many times do you want to see the same cock get blown the same way?

Stu got a letter from the surfer who sent the one this thread is about and the surfer does know what he's talking about. He knows a few here, I'm waiting for Stu to come clean and tell us about the email.

He sent it to me as well.

And lastly, because I have better things to do on a Sunday night, the reason there are so many TEEN sites is because many work. To argue the niche is saturated because they do not work is stupid. Like saying my content does not work because it's over sold. People who say this are telling you they can't make it work.

This is actually a major concept taught in begining marketing classes.

StuBradley 01-07-2007 11:39 PM

Okay, so Paul hit's me up on ICQ and asks me if I got some email from his 'member'. Smells fishy if you ask me. What do you guys think? Here is the chat log...

Quote:

Paul Markham (10:57 PM) :
Hi Stuart.
You never posted the email from my member. LOL
He is real and he's not me.
Ask Steve and Richard they both know him.

Paul Markham (09:03 AM) :
Did you answer the email?

Stu (08:01 PM) :
i have spamarrest. did you verify yourself? i got nothing from you.

Paul Markham (09:36 PM) :
It was not from me it was from the surfer who sent the original email, not sure if he verified it or not.

Stu (09:37 PM) :
no he didnt

Paul Markham (10:14 PM) :
I think he used a new email. I will send it to you.

Paul Markham (10:15 PM) :
Well, well Stubradley of Frostedfaces, it was a peace of cake finding you
out. So you are the "great non-believer" on the ability of members being
able to have more than two brain cells to outhink Jeopardy rejects like you.
Frostedfaces, where did you come up with such a 'brilliant' tag like that,
shit at least I've done my rounds and paid membership fees to: FTVGIRLS;
NAUGHTYAMERICA;
SOCALCOEDS; SAPPHICEROTICA; TEENDREAMS; LITTLEAPPRIL; LESBOMACHINE;
SEXYTEENPARADISE; and others that I can't remember, one month each and cut
my losses.

The only repeat is SAPPHIC because they are without question the class of
the business, head and shoulders above the rest and of course,
PAULMARKHAMTEENS, so cut the bellyaching, you are dealing with mature adults
who know what they want. Tell me, what were you doing before you got into
this business, did you ever asked RocHard eh? He spent 4 years in the US
Marine Corps, left to go to College, got himself a Business Degree
and...hooked-up with Steve Jones a.k.a. 'Lightspeed'; his claim to fame:
designed and launched 'Tawnee Stone' site, so much for higher learming.
Lightspeed himself was earning a couple of $200K in IT until his fetish for
cheerleaders drove to quit and start in this business, so don't give us
anymore of your bullshit and, if you have any balls, any balls at all you
will print this e-mail in Paul's thread on GFY 'as is' or you will continue
to be a pussy, you hear frostedface.

Paul Markham (10:17 PM) :
He's had some chats with two people in the industry and seems to know what he's talking about. He's the guy who posted on my forum about his slow speed. Found out he's going via Cox's network which is a bottle neck.

Stu (10:25 PM) :
this is too funny...sure i'll post it

Paul Markham (10:25 PM) :
Why do you think it funny?

Paul Markham (10:34 PM) :
Ask Steve and Richard if they know this guy.
But if you think it's a joke that a guy who spends money on the Internet feels like this, then maybe you need a rethink.
Respecting the customer is the first step to selling more.

Paul Markham (10:35 PM) :
I'm starting a review site soon, I will do a review on Frosted Faces for you.

Stu (10:36 PM) :
i do respect my customers and i do keep in contact with many of them.

Stu (10:36 PM) :
i would rather you didn't

Many here think it's best to ignore or denounce this email rather than accept it as a genuinely from a member. If you feel it is genuine you have to address his concerns. If you denounce it you can carry on as you are.

Stu feels it's fishy, even though the sender has obvious knowledge of the business, knowledge I did not posess. Is it better for Stu to denounce the email or accept it?

Is the sender still talking like me?

I would say a very large part of the small income the paysite makes is from members coming back after a few months. Am I better at this than others, do all sites get these rejoins or is it a case of "I don't so no one else does".

You are also calling your business Greedy Business:

Why would I take you serious if:

- You call your business Greedy Business
- You call your sites boring
- You call your sites shit
- You have traffic leaks
AND GODDAMN WORST OF ALL!!!
- You are pointing fingers at a honest program (Titanbucks) for lying to his affiliates!!! IF SOMEONE IS NOT TAKING HIS AFFILIATES AND HIS POTENTIAL SERIOUS THAN IT SHOULD BE YOU!!!

Paul, Paul, Paul. Since I have no return address to send an official reply to your 'member' I will post this here. We both know that you are the same person anyways.

In your email you ask me what I was doing before I got into this business. Well Paul, unfortunately for you I spent a little over two years studying criminology with a minor in (criminal) psychology. One of the many things I learned in my studies was how to tell when people are being decitful in both spoken words and writing. Basically, how to understand what people are REALLY telling you.

There are 10 reasons why I KNOW that you wrote that email. My thinking that you wrote the original sniplet that started this thread was just a strong hunch that was fortified by every rebuttal you made later on. Well, let's not waste any more time...here are the reasons:


Quote:

1. The most obvious clue is that you wrote the second email using broken sentences, bad punctuation and lots of upper case letters to show me that it 'was not you' writing the email. You even concrete the evidence by saying here on GFY, "Is the sender still talking like me?" No Paul, you made sure he was not. *rolls eyes*

2. Criminal Psychology 101: When accused a guilty person will go to great lengths to 'convince' you he is innocent. Whereas an innocent person will just tell you the truth, expect that you believe him and leave it at that. I think it fair to say you have went out of your way to convince me this 'surfer' is real.

3. This email was obviously written by somebody who does not like me. Look at all the name calling (reject, pussy, etc.). For someone who had only first heard of me a few minutes prior to writing this 'he' sure has a lot of pent up hostilaty towards me. If this letter really was from a 'surfer' who didn't know me it would have been much more calm.

4. I didn't get the email from 'him' but rather from you over ICQ. :Oh crap

5. You tell me on ICQ that 'he' used a NEW email. How do you know that it was new? And how do you know so goddamn much about a guy who just stumbled accross your site 3 weeks ago?

6. 'He' said, "so don't give US anymore of your bullshit." A 'surfer' would have said, "so don't give PAUL any more of your bullshit" as I had no interaction with 'him' prior to 'his' email. You really need to proofread more Paul.

7. Your 'surfer' knows Steve Lightspeed's real last name. I've been in this industry since 2000 and I don't/didn't even know Steve's real name.

8. He makes reference to the fact that he has "paid membership fees" to all these websites. How else does a surfer normally get into the member's areas? However someone in the industry who is accustomed to getting free access might think it important to point this out. *wink wink*

9. I assume you emailed your 'surfer' a link to this thread. I find it odd that he refers to the board as 'GFY'.

10. I also find it to be a huge coincidence that this 'his' two favorite sites (Lightspeed and SapphicErotica) are the ONLY TWO sites you promote on your forum. Not only that but he makes a nice sales pitch for them on your forum as well. *rolls eyes again*

11. 'He' points out the fact that I misspelled 'brilliant' in an earlier reply and then misspelled "peace" in 'piece of cake'. Thats not really evidence that it was you...it's just really damn funny! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Well Paul, are you gonna confess yet? I suspect that you won't but that instead you'll continue to post more evidence to support that you and him are the same person.

What really hurts me the most though Paul is the name calling. We've all had a great laugh here (at your expense) but I have never sunk so low as to call you names. Yes, I regretably suggested earlier that you had "shitty" content. I wish I had said 'saturated' instead. :( Unfortunately we can not take things back once they are posted here.

The supposed lie Paul presented to divert attention was based on some amazingly loose logic and some rather questionable assumptions. It really is a major compliment that the best he could do is pick on a site description on the program site page where the designer had used some of his content :)

If you try hard enough you can always come up with something, and if thats the best he had ... business is rock solid :)

marcjacob 01-08-2007 06:45 PM

Paul you speak about it being easier to retain a customer than find a new one. Does that also apply to affiliates? I icqed you asking about text links to your site. You couldnt even be assed to reply (a few icqs actually).

Theres no chance im promoting you now mate.

BusterBunny 01-08-2007 06:47 PM

StarkReality 01-08-2007 07:15 PM

Looking at my stats, 50%+ quit after the first month on most sites (with 50% being really good, seen sites with around 90% quitters, not counting trials).

I doubt that it's about content only, the problem is that many people will download as much as they can in a month and maybe come back half a year later to do the same again...not really a problem with super fast connections and download managers.

Those who stay longer are real fans, they stay regardless of the pure ammount of content, as long as there are regular updates...I advertise a site in a microniche that does 1 picture series and 1 single movie update every week, loads of members stay 6+ months. That's probably the reason why there are so many single girl sites popping up over the last two years, guys that fall in love with their virtual girlfriend are loyal customers.

So, content is king, but the formula "The more exclusive quality content, the better the rebills" is too simple. :2 cents:

I was talking to two sponsors in the Prague Friday night gathering. Both had exclusive sites.

One was full of girls I shot to death over a year or more before he opened his site. The content is good quality shooting and porn, but the exclusivity is very small. He buys sets for less than I would shoot exclusive for.

The other is full of scenes that cost over $10,000 each to shoot and some cost $20,000.

One convert, retains and drags in more traffic in a day than the other does in a week. One has an exclusive site.

The problem is not producing good quality, exclusive content. The problem is paying for it.
