Default How much is too much?

I'm reading this article I found @ Klixxx "which I recently discoved. hehehe"
http://www.klixxx.com/archive/aebnadultmovies.shtml

And I have a question?
Where do u draw the line on offering free porn on someones site?
I mean, How much is to much? or not enough?

I can see it 2 ways:

1) "Give 'em all the free porn they can handle, it's never to much & your gain popularity"
or
2) "Only give 'em so much, cause to much free porn, and they won't end up buy shit."

Where do u draw the line?

All sex should be free though! I'm growing weary of searching the depths of the car to scrape up the money these days

I gave up worrying about free porn years ago. It just is. What we have to do is quite simple, really. Produce porn that makes a surfer so horny he becomes a customer. Not a great challenge. Just the way the net works.

Think of free as a sales tool. How much of that tool to use depends on the environment it is used in. There isn't an easy answer to your question. Give the user nothing free and see how much you make. Give them some free and see how much you make. Give them a lot free and see how much you make. You will find you make more money with one over the others. It may be that you make less money on each user individually but you make more money as a whole because your site with free content gets more visitors than your site with no free content. You get the idea.. each of us has to work that equation out for our own unique situation.

In a perfect world free wouldn't exist.

It's hard to say how much is too much, but there are some sites bordering on too much out there.

I remember Mike AI's old solo girl tours. You didnt even see as much as a nipple unless you bought a membership. Now it seems if you look hard enough you can find nearly the entire site in some form or fashion out there.

Add those cocksuckers from Guba hiding behind the guise of access ti alt.binaries and you even have someone scamming your content.

On the otherhand unless you have a totally exclusive site with content you cant find anywhere else like squirtingcarly or extremehole. Then you have to be willing to promote and do grand giveaways.

However I can tell you that Carly's site is doing VERY well as far as conversions and retention in the fatfuckingcash program.

To add to that, make sure what you give away is a taste, not a meal.

Your going to have to try it several ways to determine what works for you. You can look at other sites and see how much they give away and how explicit they are. If you know someone is doing well and they are marketing something similar to you, if you feel their traffic is similar to yours. You can use their work as an example for the direction you should be going.

Note don't steal someones design or anything just let yourself be inspired by it. What is the other guy doing right? What are they doing wrong? How would you improve on it?

To me personally, that sounds like the ideal way of doing things. I'm not old enough in the biz to know or understand how it went from a model like that to what is prevalent today.

Not necessarily....there are some very hardcore niches that require hardcore in the tour..and others that should only give enough to get that wallet out....

As Bishop stated...much is trial and error and learning your traffic and what makes them buy....

Lots of research .....look at other sites to see what they do in the particular niche you choose.....

Solo girl sites are a different breed of animal; and, having said that....there are some very hardcore solo girl sites that have done well by showing the guys what is inside the site.

If you already have a traffic base, you have to learn what your traffic will buy and what they won't.
