XXXJay - Adult Webmaster Blog

1. Don’t tell me how to run my business and I won’t tell you how to run yours (if you have any). Does pornhub have a warning page? Go bug them. Fight the real fight.

2. As was stated in another thread earlier by my business partner: We’ve been tweaking the xsales for the last 6 months…above the submit, below the submit, and variety of text schemes. It made 5% difference overall. 5%!!! After all of this fussing on the boards - IT WAS 5%! Now, they are clearly above the submit and with the prices! Surfers get emails with a username, password, cancel links, and number for our support (and always have). Even if they are drunk and didn’t see them, we have 24/7 support and gladly will refund without question!!! END OF STORY! Did it ever occur to anyone that people that some surfers take the free offers for other sites, check them out, and then cancel? Belive it or not, it does happen…MORE TIMES THAN NOT! REPEAT FROM LAST THREAD: Look how are xsales are set up now…that is how they will be set up from now and ever and ever. AMEN! This is a dead issue.

3. Did it also ever occur to you guys that you can’t fight every single fight you disagree with? It is impossible to separate yourself from everything you find distasteful in this very small industry! The best thing you can do is run your fucking business the best you can and try not to worry too much about what everyone else is doing! I REPEAT: THERE IS NO WAY TO ENTIRELY REMOVE YOURSELF FROM EVERYTHING YOU DISAGREE WITH!! I don’t care if it’s AFF, zango, xsales, popups, or content that offends you! This is ADULT! This is not a chairity. This is an impluse transaction. This is, “Hey do you want to go in the VIP room?” type shit. IE: Adult Entertainment! It is amazing how many people forget that! There is one processor that is refusing to do business with people that have merchant accounts. It’s their world, are just just living in it - FINE! BUT… at the same time they do transactions for programs that own tube sites, steal content, and use it to create sales and traffic for their own sites. I could pull a George Bush and “You an either you are with the terrorists or against them?” Sure! If I wanted to scream and whine that what they are doing isn’t fair I guess I could, but rather than tell them how to do their business, I just do what I can to control the flood of our content onto the tube sites and do business with their competitor.

4. Do you know what the #1 thing that has stunted OCCash’s growth over the years? The fact that we’ve remained revshare for so long! After hearing just as much screaming and whining about the revshare model, we finally went PPS. To go PPS and pay $35 on a 1$ trial we needed xsales. Remember, we are paying our 35x what your initial transaction is (actually 70x when you take our processing). We update with exclusive content twice a day. We have higher than normal content costs because we actually have product, but wait…here is the really funny part…FAST FORWARD TO 2008: OPEN UP THE LATEST AVNONLINE AND READ “THE THE GOSPAL ACCORDING TO…” SECTION: OCCASH IS IN THE TOP 10 EARNERS OF ALL PROGRAMS FOR EVERY PERSON THAT POSTED THEIR STATS! That’s because they were patient and didn’t make a run for the fast money and let the rebills grow! Adult online is all about the rebills!

The way this industry is set up: IT IS BUILT TO FAIL! Everybody wants the highest payout, but they don’t want you to actually be able to make money in order to pay them. As programs, we are at the top of the food chain, if we aren’t making money, how can we be paying it?

Jesus…THINK, THINK, THINK!

All that aside, if it were up to me, this is how adult online will work:

1. All the illegal tubes site would go away.
2. Xsales would go away.
3. Payouts would be 50/50 revshare.
4. People would be go back to paying for content like they used to!

That’s a business plan that is built to succeed and that is what I’m in favor of. Till then you just have to adapt and do what you can to get by.

If you actually read this whole post…congratulations: YOUR IQ JUST WENT UP 10 POINTS!

IF NOT: Now flush a 20 dollar bill down the toilet!

Just my 3 cents!
