How many of you know all about Saboom?
 

I am doing something like a market survey.

Do you know about saboom?

Do you promote saboom?

where did you first learn about saboom?

In answer to your three questions:
No.
No.
In this thread.

Had to google it just now

I think I scraped some off my shoe once. ;)

Same.

Never heard of it.

I've noticed the program "Partners Cash" at a couple shows. Its something different thats for sure. Users can have a choice on a variety of things.

I'll forward this to Donna, she's a rep there.

one out of 6 - sounds about right.

and learned at a show, also sounds about right.

thanks folks, I was discussing "new era paysites" somewhere and saboom came up.

I had not heard of it before, but dont pay a lot of attention to the shows.

After seeing this thread I Googled it. It has to be the worst "tour" of any site I have ever seen, I have no idea how they get sign-ups with that front page. In the words of Mr T "Pity the fool who has them as a sponsor."

Hello Billy :)

Let me know if there's any info I can provide you with to help with the market research :)

See signature for contact details

Hey Ecchi :)

if you have any feedback as on how to improve the tour, please feel free to hit me up on ICQ or Skype :)

Feedback is always welcomed :)

Donna

Hey LeRoy,

thanks for pointing me to this forum :)

PartnerCash is indeed the only affiliate program trough which you can promote Saboom.com

At the moment there's only Saboom for the international market, however all other German products will soon follow :)

Cheers,
Donna

ecchi, I'd like to hear a more detailed analysis of the tour.

I also have said I have a mixed reaction to the tour, and the models.

Saboom came up in a discussion I was having at gfy, as an example of a "new era" paysite - so I have been studying it.

I'm gonna do something I never do - post a ref.

It's worth taking a look at the promo - i dont care for the models they use on their promo, but they have some interesting ideas.

oh - and they say they give you ten free days to look inside the actual paysite. I have not looked yet myself.

:) isn't that the best deal of all? :P

Lol, well it's not like we aint seen the inside of paysites before, and never watched a fuck video.

The interesting thing about it is the chance to study what a "new era" paysite would feel like for a surfer/member.

And to see wether accepting revshare is a good risk.

Everybody in the industry is curious about what the next big thing might be, and saboom has been held up as a possible candidate.

But - I am a very well informed webmaster, and I hadn't yet heard of it - which piqued my curiousity even more.

And, I'm not entirely sure how to promote such a thing. Right now I am studying your "deep link" options.

1) Its just not designed to sell. It looks more like a presentation to investors - i.e. it says "this business could make money when we start promoting it", rather than saying "join up now and get great porn".

2) The "Become a porn producer" pages make it look like it is a site for uploading and sharing your homemade porn, which is not what the site is about, and will scare off your average "just want to look at porn" surfer.

3) It is unnecessary long and complicated. The surfer has to look at several slides and click on several links to be told that is is what he wants. Long before then he will have given up and moved on to another site. Any sales page must instantly catch the eye of the surfer, on the landing page and above the fold. The moment the page loads it must shout at him "this is the porn you want". He should not have to watch a slide show to get this info, and he should not have to click on links to get this info. Here he has to do both. True, the "landing page above the fold on loading" part may not make the sale without more information, but it has to make the surfer want to find out more and start get him salivating, this does neither.

4) (This is the biggest fault) As soon as the page loads it pops up one of those "chat now" slide-ins. Unless the surfer has only just bought his first computer and this is his first time online, he will have seen thousands of these annoying little bastards and be pre programmed to assume the site is a crappy circle jerk TGP, and will run away as fast as his browser can go.

I have neither ICQ nor Skype. However that is irrelevant because although I have no objection to helping people on the board (and if you look at my previous posts you will see that I sometimes do this), if you want a private consultation by Skype or ICQ you are asking for a free business consultation, and you are being a bit fucking cheeky in trying to get a professional service for nothing. If it can be said publicly on the board, and so also be of help to others in a similar position to you, then fine, but if you want a private consultation you gotta pay for it! (Although lucky for you Bill asked a similar question, so you've had most of the information you want for free.)

You just don't get this business at all do you? No, it is NOT "the best deal of all", the "the best deal of all" would be if it made a lot of money for the affiliate. It is useful to know what a site is like to help promote it, and for some webmasters it is the icing on the cake to be able to spend ten days jerking off to free porn (although I suspect that is not the type of webmaster you really want as an affiliate), but it does not make this "the best deal of all", sales do that, and your tour looks like a crap converter.

Hey Ecchi,

thanks for the feedback :)

I wasn't asking for a free consultation, but merely for a way to get in contact with you.

Regarding the 10 days for free, that's simply for testing, not jerking off, it's a way to get a better feel of the site. How are you supposed to promote a product if you don't test it yourself?

If you want to know conversion numbers, all the account managers would be more then happy to give them to you. At the moment the site is doing really well on German traffic, however we're still developing and adjusting the English version, hence the "feedback is always welcomed" :)

Looks interesting, like it might appeal to seasoned porn surfers looking for something different. The curiosity factor might keep people in the site a bit longer than usual. But ecchi is 100% right about the pop-ups. When you see that, you immediately think you're on another lame ass tube site. I hate those damn things...I guess they're making money for some...(?)

I hate those things as well, but after looking at the conversion numbers we decided to still keep them alive.

The average webcam usage doubled since the pop-ups were turned on... Crazzy!!

Hit the X, annoying. What's wrong with an iframe cam instead of a popup

yes, but we are all jaded, and not the target buyer.

my concern about the cam popup is it was instantly obvious it was a recording - why not show live? (I know why, of course, still, they could have used a randomizer with multiple recordings to reduce the bogusity signal ratio...)

My concern about the tour was that it failed to sell me - only one of the three main models POPPED, and when I put myself into surfer mind it was more confusing than selling, I did not understand what it wanted me to do.

The "free" signup felt attractive, to my adopted surfer mindset, but it also seemed understated, and like a potential trap.

I think as a tour it was too minimal.

But, one has to test it with traffic.

interactive porn saboom show tour
 

here is the link to a thread with the actual show tour for the interactive porn show tour!

Watch it and then tell me again it is the worst tour you have ever seen!

The value it creates for b2b or tube integrations is undoubtable, make your own oppinion and let me know what you think!

http://www.greenguysboard.com/board/...ad.php?t=64717

OK: It is the worst tour I have ever seen!
Sorry, I am being flippant, but nothing th that thread made me change my mind about the tour.

Yeah, undoubtedly ZERO!

I have made my own opinion, and believe me, you don't want to know what I think.

I'm guessing that thread was written by the same guy who created the tour, because it is as bad as the tour. It tells me nothing useful, it is no help whatsoever, it explains nothing, and it uses ridiculous 1980's style buzz words to the extent that it sounds like it was written by an unemployed banker. For example, what the fuck does "Do you want to create equity from your user-base? Saboom offers you an added value which fits perfectly into your existing monetization models and advertisement agreements" tell us, apart from the fact that the writer is a pretentious git who like to sound pompous but is trying hard to hide the facts from us?
