In These Troubled Times, Is It Still Worth Managing A Membership Site?
 

Adult memberships sites used to be so damn lucrative. Cam and Dating sites have flourished out of this business model. It had gone so well that people thought that adult is recession-proof. But with the onset of tube sites, rampant piracy, dwindling support from major financial institutions, government constant interference, the country's economic woes and the audience's preference for free content, it seems creating membership sites nowadays looks risky. What used to be just seems worn and obsolete.

Is it still worth the trouble making membership sites? Marketing gurus say that we only need to create more valuable content. But how more "valuable" can we make them when people apparently prefer quantity over quality? Can we really still make money with content?

And yet while all things remain doubtful, I still think the porn industry will never die. Our industry has always been innovative. We are the the first to try new things. Reinvention is our middle name. It is our adventurous spirit that will lead us to a new profitability. It's just a matter of time.

Do you share my optimism?

General rhetorical questions may not be the best way to trigger conversation.

It can still be done yes and is being done.

You need good content, unique, exclusive. HD you cannot get on the tubes for free. You need to be able to utilize tubes for traffic, they have a lot of it so use them.

Open a pay site with bought content that is like a lot of other pay sites and depend on affiliates without utilizing tube traffic and forget it.
