It’s harder to shoot porn today than it was back in the old days.

• February 23, 2011

First has to be budget. You simply can’t make a silk purse with a sows ear budget. No matter how good a shooter is, if he’s working on a shoe string. He’s not got a lot of time, money or incentive to produce great porn.
Second has to be models. For a number of reasons. They have seen porn on the Internet and think what they saw is what is right. Often it’s not. It’s faked badly and shot on a shoestring.

Also their attitude. Todays models are far harder to work with. Prior to the Internet and the deluge of porn production if a model fucked up or failed to deliver the goods, she was soon out of work. Unless very very beautiful. Today there are too many places she can work badly and not have it effect her career.
And many have picked up bad habits from shooters who don’t know better or accept them.
If the model wasn’t doing it right, there was no, “Shooting something so the day isn’t a complete loss.” It was “Go home.”. Because paying her/him and the film wasn’t worth it. Best to lose the M/U fee, Boys/girls fee and other costs than add to the disaster throwing more money after lost money.
Even with digital we would just give up and call it a day. Assuming we couldn’t turn a couple shoot into a solo shoot.

The ease of selling. This has a lot to do with it. When selling a set to an editor he had 8 slots to fill and often 50+ sets to choose from. If your work wasn’t good, not good enough, it didn’t get accepted and even then it might not get used. We were paid on publication. What is accepted today would never get accepted by an editor.
Similar goes for the good video markets. They had more than enough work submitted to them. So if it wasn’t good it wasn’t accepted.
It’s easier to sell today and harder to produce good work.

After 10 years i can tell that…

• February 14, 2011

Design doesnt matter that much to convert an average surfer. If you have a great product / content you will have surfers signing up, AVERAGE surfers, and they are probably those indifferent fucks who pay for porn, who are dumb enough to pay for it.

If you wanna look legit and respectable hire a designer, do it for YOURSELF and to SHOW OFF in the industry.

Porn is dirty. All they need is a pussy wide open.

Simple, basic design is often better … look at the huge popularity of CraigsList (ok, that one could use a little updating, but it just works), The Drudge Report (a near perfect design for what it’s used for), and Wikipedia.

Sites choke-full of flash and javascript keep the web designers busy – yeah, I know they’ve got to make a living, but all the extra nonsense (and that often is what it is) comes at a cost to both website owners (more money and stuff to fix) and visitors…

Slowness and flakyness; often lack of functionality compared to an older design – Google’s Picasa is a prime example of that – their most recent chages degraded image zoom for many people. Weather Underground’s most recent updates – so bad with so many complaints they’ve kept the old design active on a separate sub-domain. And Slashdot, much the same thing – many users stick with the older “classic” site, since it at least still runs half-way decent.

And YouTube’s design changes – wow, what a mess with many users with lots of videos furious about “Load More” button and all the clicking. And many viewers frustrated about playback resolution automatically changing (in the previous version, the user had total control) when they go from viewing in a window to full-screen.

Rambling on, but anyways, there’s a lot to be said for the K.I.S.S. principle – solid, updated content will keep visitors coming back for more assuming they can get to it without getting blocked / frustrated by all the flashy web design nonsense.

I’m beginning to think that nobody buys porn on their mobile phones

• February 7, 2011

Allow me to shed some light on why I feel this way.

First off I have 200-400 mobile visitors per day almost 95% google traffic searching for hardcore movies and xxx hardcore mostly.

The sponsors I’ve tried so far and have sent 5000 hits or more to each are: NastyDollars (Reality Kings Mobile), RevShareIt, PussyCash (I’mLive Mobile) HDV Bucks mobile site, and JuggCash (X Mobile Pass). These are the sites I’ve tried so far and I admit the only program that has produced any sales at all was RevShareIt and only a couple.

I honestly don’t know what these mobile users are looking for because they aren’t buying. I think I figured out why they call mobile phones smartphones. They are called smartphones because the people who use them are too smart to spend their money on mobile porn.

Anyone else care to share their experiences of promoting mobile adult programs?
Anyways…

It’s not rocket science.

I don’t know of anyone who sits on a cell phone and surfs the web, for porn or otherwise. Mobile internet just doesn’t work because you can’t fit a web page onto such a small screen. We want better and bigger, not smaller. Why would you pay to see porn on a tiny little screen when you can pay to see porn on your big ass monitor at home?

People surfing mobile porn are just killing time while waiting for the bus or their dentist appointment. They aren’t serious porn shoppers.

They can also find porn at work, in the car, on vacation, at the beach, and anywhere else where you can fit a phone in your pocket but not a laptop. I make great sales in mobile especially in teen and tranny niches.

1. the top five Google mobile search topics are: porn, entertainment, telecom, local services and games.
2. one in five people searches for porn.

if you don’t do mobile, you’ll be one of the whiners in 5 years crying that you missed out on all that money you could have had.
