Victoria Givens: Porn is not Recession Proof

RawAlex · 12-08-2008

She is blaming the recession for something that has taken much longer to develop, with torrents, tubes, file trading, and credit card scamming websites (mass cross sales only being the latest in a series). The simple facts of the online porn business is that many of the previously paying customers have either been scared away from paying, or have learned ways to get much of their porn more slowly but for free.

I am thinking that a mid-range porn girl personal site would be one of those things where 99% of the remaining potential buyers aren't going to be willing to pay money to just see her (and her with friends) as they might be on a niche specific but more general website. So she is doing probably what is right for her business, I guess.

The question would be, when you reduce your price of membership by 25%, do you end up with more than a 25% bump in membership count? 100 members @20 is 2k and at $15 per member, you need to get up to 133 members just to have the same income. Maybe they will retain longer and make money that way?

It is an interesting concept at some point, it would be interesting to see what the results are.
