Why online porn is a dying industry.
Quote:
Someone can come in and take a stab at what these figures mean in real terms. Or poke fun or blame it on piracy. It is as it is and this is where porn is today. And asking someone to change his business model and put his staff out of work to save your ass is pointless. |
Instead of sitting around moping every day and screaming 'the sky is falling the sky is falling' how about doing something about it? Our sites get less than 20k uniques a day and we're making a shit load more than $10.
We made double in 2010 that me made in 2009. Then we doubled that in 2011. And we're projecting that we'll be making nearly double what we made in 2011 this year. You know what we don't do? We don't sit around crying and moaning and bitching. Yes, things are harder now than they were in 2006 when we started. But that just means we work harder now. And the end result is that, even though things are more difficult now, we're making more money now than we ever thought possible in 2006. Create a product worth paying for, and people will pay for it. Do everything you can to protect that product and minimize the effect piracy can have on your business, and make money. Or, just sit around bitching and moaning every day about the sky is falling in the porn industry. |

This is probably the best thread I have ever read.
Thank you Paul. |
There are other types of traffic which are more valuable.
|
the online porn expert, all your sites you run
|
Funny, to me those sites don't look like they are dying at all?
|
Learn how to 'sell' and you'll be fine....
|
$10 off of 20,000 impressions is $.50 cpm. Set up a leaderboard, maybe a text link, and a cube or two and you drop all the way to $.10-.20 cpm for a given ad. Traffic is selling for more than that.
Brokers… Feel free to correct my math! |

That was my point, suppose I should of made it clearer. No industry can lose that much traffic to free sites and not take a massive hit. Not just porn any product will see sales revenue plummet when 100s of millions can get it for free. These people used to buy porn, back in the day when 1,000 clicks on a link was worth $100s it's now worth $10. Assuming you can get that. I was using Nextri's figures which we might assume were him spamming his traffic. Maybe other traffic people can tell us what bulk traffic coming off a tube is worth. And what's the chance of Mr average affiliate ever being able to afford to get into these levels of traffic? slim to none, the business has left a lot behind. We always thought traffic was a bottomless pit and because of that the more traffic we got the more sales we made. Traffic from rich countries isn't bottomless, with buyers definitely we reached the bottom and now it's just a fight to get a sale off the other guy 99% of the time. Argue with 99% you still know what I mean. We sell predominately to a limited number of countries. They have slowed down on new connections and most of them are not rushing online to buy porn today.

Thanks for another repetitive thread Paul. Nobody has ever heard this same shit story before.
Are you getting senile or something? I think you just don't remember making 1000's of exactly the same threads and posts, because nobody can be this dense. |

STFU Paul, I make more money each year. Only idiots like u can't
|
this subject is so boring already, it isnt dying, not at all... it is for those who thought their techniques were going to last forever, this is a fun business where you should stay creative all the way!
|
Some people think the industry is dying because the techniques and content from the 90s no longer draws in customers (except maybe micro niche..) and competition is harder..
"Adapt or die" |
Paul Markham talking down the very industry that put food on his table. Who would have thought ? :321GFY

And using Paul Markham logic, since they're the only two that pop into here, they must be the only one's in the company. |
