iTunes, Spotify, Rhapsody etc have reduced music piracy massively. There are reports to back this up, but even someone as stupid as Paul Markham can see it. It makes sense.
So, how come the porn industry is so stupid it hasn’t copied the model yet?
2 year birthday!
Wowzers. This blog is almost two years old.
I should do something special. Maybe allow Paul Markham and Gary to guest blog?
If your pay site sales are declining…
some things to do
1) Ring up people and get members’ areas upsells in place with other people in your niche
2) Split test your tour
3) Email your cancelled members asking them to come back
4) Moan like a retarded old man on GFY
One of the above points won’t generate sales. 3 will. You choose.
Business cards
I pride myself in coming up with unusual, funny or interesting cards for the shows. I was very disappointed with the ones I got back. Same old boring stuff. However, the people that really take the biscuit for being dull are the prepaid card people. Or out payment. Or any kind of virtual card thingy.
They all use cards that LOOK LIKE CREDIT CARDS!
I’ve got 4 here. All the same.
Did the marketing people there really think that was an original idea?
If you work for a prepaid card company and want some original marketing, let me know!
Ebay’s original homepage
Fucking hell. Things have changed a bit, eh?
HAHA LOOK AT THIS, IT IS OLD!
Affiliate progs on Twitter
Just stop.
Think.
You want to get more affiliates or get more affiliates that are already signed up to promote you.
How to do this? Start a twitter account and post links to galleries!
Why on EARTH would anyone follow that Twitter feed? Why? How boring. Why not write a B2B twitter feed that has stuff that affiliates might find interesting/funny/useful/entertaining and get them to follow you because they like what you decide to share?
I’ve not ever seen one I thought was good, so to put my money where my mouth is, I will start one and see if I can be more interesting than NEW FHG CLICK HERE
So, I’ll work out some cool shit to post on twitter.com/3wayscash
Now this surprised me
Well I never.
You know the old submit your site to google thing?
Well it actually works!
Colour me surprised.
Me, yesterday
I put together about 14 sites for a client to create traffic and stuck google analytics on them. I submitted ONE of them to the URL linkage above and waited. About 5 days later, that one site had started getting natural google traffic and none of the others did.
So there you go. Today’s tip is submit new sites to google.
Whodathunkit?
Meet with me in Amsterdam or London
I’m going to be at WMA and Xbiz. Let’s have a chat about how I can help you make more money.
Fuck .xxx
I’m not going to buy into this bollocks. And here’s why.
I met Vaughn at an Xbiz gathering during the speed networking. I asked “so, what can you do to persuade me you actually do care about the porn industry and this whole thing isn’t just a money making exercise.”
He folded his arms and said “I’m not going to even talk to you.”
And just sat there. Trying to stare me out like a hard man. After about 2 minutes of this, he broke and said that he would talk to me about it after the speed networking. I replied that I was just keen to see what the actual line was, whether it was actually any good.
He then avoided me all evening.
It’s obvious to me this is just .mobi or .eu all over again. It’s a land grab and it’s not going to help adult in anyway.
If you want to do something to help kids, stick and RTA label on your site, donate to ASACP and just be a decent human being. We don’t need to ‘protect the kids’ via .xxx and they fact they are playing that card makes it clearer they don’t actually give two hoots about porn. They just want the Daily Mail vote…
Brand new revenue stream for site owners
I can’t say what it is yet, but imagine this…
You have a pay site. You put a “Work for us” button at the bottom by the 2257 etc. That sends the girl to a site where she can apply. You decide you don’t want her. She gets put into the system and gets offered work doing text chat for 32p a message (three times the going rate). She is really happy getting VERY easy work that pays so well that she can do when doing other things.
Cool?
Not bad, but what if YOU got 32p each time she earned 32p too? So you refer a girl and you get 100% of her earnings.
Fucking hell, how good is that?
Or if you just want to push the service to the girls you have on your books, you’d also make 100% of their earnings.
It’s a no-brainer, right? Everyone will want some of that.
Find out more at the Amsterdam or London shows.
