you are so fucking close to the correct answer, if you were truely creative instead of just a successful copycat of other peoples idea you would have gotten it by now.

In my experience people will always try to get shit for free, they will search for hours just to save a dime. When you have sites like p0rnhub and myfr33pays1te.com out there that list very high in google, people just wont look any further. They beat off 5 minutes, cum and come back to that free site a week later to beat it another 5 minutes.
The only way I see you can get someone to actually pay for porn is if you have very specific niched content and even then you`re limiting your market because only a fraction of porn viewers will like your niche. I found this thread very interesting just wanted to add my :2 cents: |
I would say cam sites would be a great biz to get into.

We're about set to launch the re-designed PeabodyCash and guess what? Unlike in october, when some of my models were dis-interested in going to a 'streaming-only' member's area NOW they are changing their tune. So I want to go 'streaming-only' for Fellucia Blow especially. Any advice in that area would be grand. I'm worried that, with the new affiliate program launching soon, if sales/rebills fall because of the points you made (and continue to make) that the pie will shrink for everyone. Anyway, I've monitored what you've done to Claudia-Marie over the past year or more, and highly respect the courage it took to take such leaps (of faith and technology). So I'm convinced your direction is the one to take. :) |
I don't know why some people here think that the adult "Porn" biz is different from any other business. When there is a recession or depression the crap businesses that had nothing really to offer are often the first to go. Even in Mainstream entertainment I have seen loads companies that offer nothing original and just recycle other peoples work go out of business.
For those who are creative and original they will remain in business. For those who are just trying to ride on the coattails of others, you will go out of business. For those who are innovative and resourceful you will stay in business, For those who are lazy and angry, you will go out of business. Simple rules, but true for any business. |

Just like in the early 1980's...the bar business is booming as folks will drop $100 + a night partying, movie theaters are setting records (and it costs more than a hundred bucks to take a family to the movies and hit the concession stand)...and yet people can't afford $30 for a full month membership? I speak from experience here. If it were not for the fact that everybodies work is available for FREE we would be in a much different situation right now. The music industry was completely destroyed by piracy. And that happened during a booming economy. Find your nearest record store if you don't believe me...oh, that's right, there aren't any. NONE. Same thing is happening to the adult industry. Whether you believe it or not. I played in bands professionally from 1978 to 1998 and I was there in the packed clubs playing and making great money all through the recession of the early 1980's. There's a reason why people don't buy porn like they used to. Pretty simple to figure out really...nobody wants to pay for something that is free. :( |

Today bars thrive when they innovate and change with the times. Karaoke, sports bars, theme bars are doing well. There are plenty of Used and New record stores that allow the customer to trade old for credits for new. Record stores also adapt with the times too. Porn simply needs to adapt. Who ever does 3D porn is going to make a billion really fast, I mean a live action 3D, not avatar 3D. There is probably a thousand ways to innovate the porn industry where even if the content is stolen and out there for free, the customer will still come to our sites for the experience of it. Well, that is my :2 cents: |

I wrote an article in 1999 called 'What the Record Industry Should Do RIGHT NOW To Stop The Next Napster'. Remember Napster? Well, there was about an eighteen-month window when the music biz got that site taken down, and everyone thought the threat was over. I knew better - perhaps because I was younger (then) than most of my collegues and more 'in touch' with this new thing called the World Wide Web. Well, the point of the article was this: Every major label should start thier OWN download-only 'store' that sells their songs for a dollar apiece, or set a price for a full album below what a CD costs. Basically, everything that iTunes became just a few years after this. Did anyone listen? No. That article was written for an industry magazine, a place intended for professionals 'in the biz'. The feedback was immediate and overwhelming. Here's a small sample of the feedback I got back in '99: 'Shut the fuck up, we stopped Napster we'll stop anyone else that tries to steal our shit, you don't know what you're talking about, this will all blow over, the good times will return...' Look around. Not saying I'm a Genius, but after fifteen years in the music biz (starting when I was sixteen, BTW) and knowing hundreds of people in the industry, and having some level of respect based on my work, and STILL no one listened. So Robbie is RIGHT y'all - which is why i comment so frequently on his posts. He doesn't have his head up his ass like so many. So: Go streaming only fight the pirates make money |
I don't think the Industry is doing poorly because people have too much money. Since the only people working steadily with safe jobs are government employees maybe we should invent government porn.
