I woke up this morning to people bashing my last thread. I simply asked if anyone else is making money in mobile besides us at BustBox. It never ceases to amaze me that some people have this knee jerk reaction to mobile. Baseless statements like “There is no money in mobile.” are just completely ridiculous. Guys WAKE UP! The mobile market is coming out if its infancy now and is something every one of us should keep an eye on and YES even start figuring out how to market to it.
Someone making an uneducated and ill-informed statement like there is no money in mobile now is like going back 8 years and saying there is no money porn on this new fangled thing called the World Wide. Mobile is here folks and it is here to stay devices have larger screens and faster connections than ever before. The consumption habits are changing and BustBox is living proof that you can make money in mobile in North America Today.
I have been in Adult space for 10 years and the mobile adult space for 6 years. Point blank there has ALWAYS been money in mobile adult content for the people who could get to the customers or wanted to learn how to get to them. IT IS A DIFFERENT MARKET. Surfing habits are different if you spend some time learning about Mobile SEO and Mobile Commerce you can quickly transfer your Affiliate Marketing Knowledge to the Mobile Market Space WITH VERY LITTLE competition.
The last 5 years it has been mobile contend delivery has primarily focused in EU, Pac Asian, and Latin American countries. Quite simply put these countries have typically been far more advanced in the mobile space in terms of network connection speeds and devices. If you couple that with the fact that the mobile phone not the PC is the first chance that most people in those countries have to access sex freely you can see why this has been a booming industry overseas for so long.
It has only been in the last 18 months that we have really started to catch up to the rest of the world in speed and devices. The market is now growing swiftly. According to a new Juniper Research’s report, the global mobile market for adult content grew by around 36% to an estimated $2.2bn in 2008, driven by streamed subscription services and a burgeoning video chat market. The only question left to ask is what part of that pie do you want?
