The buck starts here! :)

06-17-2003

Hiya folks!

I'm now officially part of the Oprano team and ready to try and make a few waves!

Why "The buck starts here" topic title? Well, outlines for a couple of innovative new traffic generation programs are being looked at right now by the team - and we have more content, sections and money making plans for Oprano webmasters on the drawing board - so yes, hopefully, by being Oprano members you *will* see a good increase in dollar earning capacity!

I know - the adult biz is not the same as 1996/97 or even 98/99 - but there are new opportunities on the way and I see a second wave coming soon - revenues may be down for some - but that's caused as much by (I suspect) Visa/MC as much as by a prevalance of free porn - the like of which we never saw in this quantity pre 2000.

So how do you combat the free porn? Maybe have much better porn, at a price? Stop the free porn somehow? Or what?

How do you combat the Visa/MC cartel and their impositions? Find other billing options - some new ones of which are coming on line in Europe and will in the US soon - verifying over 18 *may* remain a problem - but with digital signatures -I think ID verification will be built in soon - thus proving age too.

Anyway - maybe you can tell - I am quite optimistic about the times I find myself in on the net right now - I had three years of fun and hard slog in pubs, hotels and restaurants - and in a curious way I think I may have learned from some seasoned professionals even better ways to run promotions (or programs).

So please watch this space - and think about any sites you have that you'd like to beta test on our new ideas when they are ready - we want to thoroughly test them to bring them to you in the most effective way.

- Robin.
