WOE IS ME, THE END IS NIGH

Well get off the ship before it sinks.

Internet porn is here to stay, what is gone sre the days of "Put up any old crap, throw 10,000 clicks a day at it and plan your retirement. Today the professional has moved in and with more surfers spending online, so if you are not getting a slice of it question why.

One of the reasons could be that the surfer is more sophisticated than two years ago. The increase has come at the loss from the two established porn providers, magazines and videos. These buyers were used to a standard of porn that unfortunately some sites do not provide. When a buyer has more experience using a product than a supplier, that supplier is going to have problems.

Someone said the key is exclusive, well I'm afraid that is 40% of the key. The key is quality, be it amateur porn or Penthouse it has to be good. Amateur has to look like the models were doing it for fun and not like the local stripper/crack whore earning $100. And Penthouse end has to look like someone spent more than $100 on the setting.

The problem is too many think what worked yesterday will work tomorrow and that is not true in any business especially the Internet. Unless you operate a dialer system you can no longer expect a member to be happy with a flash tour and little behind it. Today sites need to be put together with care, attention and love, not just thrown up because the surfer will pay $30 if you give him 100,000 pictures from a blow out sale you bought last year.

Assume prospective members have been a joined a site before they found your site, in fact assume they have been members of many sites. Assume he has been jerking off to porn for ten years and to the one niche. Treat him with respect not as just another loser and you may find your income improving.

We’ve only been selling content on the Internet for two years, but in that time trebled our companies turn over and see sales improving all the time. But then I’ve been shooting porn 25 years, sold to most of the teeny porn mags and that makes the difference.
