Why is this business harder these days?

I wonder too if a more open society works against us. Porn used to have a more forbidden quality. While it's not exactly prime time now, it's a little more mainstream than it was say 15 years ago, and as someone mentioned, so accessible. When it's more out in the open, I think people will perceive it as being worth less. Back in the 60's, a good vhs tape could easliy cost $100US, and that's before inflation.

Of course UL is right about too much free stuff out there. If it were up to me, all freesites would contain only softcore, with hardcore being available through paid memberships only. If something like that could happen (doubtful...the genie's out of the bottle now), I think we'd all be better off. Shame there isn't some society or organization that would work to fight this in the pron industry.

Only problem with that is this society would be based out of the US (or some other country) and you'd always have people located outside of that society doing anything they wanted to. It's a good idea, just not feasible unless a company like VISA made it so by only processing for sites showing softcore keeping all the hardcore on the inside. Of course then the torrent sites would thrive even more. LOL

I agree that there is too much free porn.
But there are alot of sites now that offer very high quality, usually exclusive content, and lots of it, that just can't be gotten for free.
So like Useless Warrior said:

"The money is there, but you need to be more savvy to make it. You need to be able to convince the surfer that the grass is greener on the other side of the join page."

I think I'm going to start marketing the sites I promote in different ways to see if that helps since the sites that offer unique content seem to convert better sometimes, even with TGP's.
