Made my 1st Free Site sale!
 
I expected a tad better conversion with videos, but as it stands 1:375

Burned through 4 GIGS BW to get there though. And most people did not click on all movies.

I'm sorta torn between using vids or not for my next set of sites...

Thanks to those that held my hand through the 1st site.

I learned a bunch of stuff and feel I can tweak the next sites for better CTR.

And title it so that what people see and what the sponsor offers is as much in line with the LL title / description as possible.

So, I guess this stuff works if you put effort into it.

Congrats!!! |bananna|

If you continue to learn it gets much easier :D

Alphawolf 2004-08-26 01:29 PM

Thanks, Surfn.

I really needed this sale for encouragement.

What is your opinion on movie site vs pic site?

Surfn 2004-08-26 01:35 PM

I can't remember ever doing a movie gallery/site...sorry |sad|

I get my numbers the old fashioned way :D

Alphawolf 2004-08-26 01:42 PM

Ok then. I'll go with pics and really try to get the best CTR to the sponsor.

Doesn't make sense to do movie sites when I'm sorta strapped and keeping an eye on my BW all the time.

MrMaryLou 2004-08-26 01:43 PM

Congrats of the sale |roses|

Alphawolf 2004-08-26 01:45 PM

Thanks MML. My Titles will be much better from now on. |thumb

sadman 2004-08-26 01:55 PM

Congrats on your sale |shake| And indeed, in my opinion pics free sites convert better than movie sites.|jester|

Jim 2004-08-26 01:57 PM

Congratulations Alphawolf
And, pictures almost always work better.

Useless 2004-08-26 01:59 PM

When I first started, I submitted one TGP gallery and managed one sale of penis pills while burning no less than 100gigs of bw. And that was a pic gallery. It was hosted on a 25G/month virtual account. That was three years ago and bw cost me $3.5 per gig for overage.

Ahhh...the memories.|pcsucks|

grzepa 2004-08-26 02:03 PM

Congrats on the first one !
I did one movie site in the past and it converted no better than the pics, so why burn that much bw ?

Cleo 2004-08-26 02:04 PM

Congratulations :)

Now go build one thousand more. :D

CelticTiger 2004-08-26 02:08 PM

Congrats....the first is always the best |bananna|

Greenguy 2004-08-26 02:10 PM

Yeah, that's the downside to movie free sites - bandwidth bills :(

But look at it this way - $30 for the sale - $4 for bandwidth = $24 profit :)

chrisrock79 2004-08-26 03:30 PM

Congrats Alphawolf!!!!

tiny 2004-08-26 04:04 PM

nothing like poppin a cherry :) grats

Bill 2004-08-26 04:21 PM

Definitely practice with pics sites. I still almost always only do pics. Cheaper, easier, conversions are just as good, you can experiment with sales concepts without risk.

I read a Reuters article recently tho that said that the US had recently passed the halfway point - half of american homes now have high speed access. I had been thinking we were still at about 65% dialup 35% hispeed.

I always thought that the halfway point would be a critical time for marketing porn with sample movie clips.

Congrats! It's harder now than it used to be to make a couple-three-four thousand juicy $35 sales a year, but it's still a great business.

DangerDave 2004-08-26 05:01 PM

Congrats AlphaWolf :D

Alphawolf 2004-08-26 07:28 PM

Thanks for the replies.

About the movies vs pics thing this thread led me a bit towards movies.

But yeah- I'll stick with pics for a while.

Useless Warrior: That sucks. I am glad there are boards like this to learn before ya burn. :)

grzepa: OK. Pics it is. |thumb

Cleo: So, you'll take a 1000 at once? ;)

CelticTiger: Yeah. feels nice. Not my first coin from adult, but first from free sites.

GG: It's $35 payout for the sponsor I'm using.

Never thought in terms of BW cost vs income. Plan I'm on has me at $1.20 per gig. So...$4.80 in BW and $35 payout leaves $30.15 in profit.

Actually, i like to think of it as paying for the hosting and then some with 1 sale.

:)

chrisrock79: Thx dude. :)

tiny: |thumb

Bill: I think this pegs it..."you can experiment with sales concepts without risk"

'xactly. I can crank out pic sites and not hover over the BW when the bigger LL accept me.

There's a thread about bigger banners that Tommy started. Yep- saw that article about half the US on broadband.

"Congrats! It's harder now than it used to be to make a couple-three-four thousand juicy $35 sales a year, but it's still a great business."

I don't know any different since I just started. Like 3 years ago free sites and galleries converted a lot more...or there was just a lot less competition? Both I guess...

DangerDave: Thx. You're avatar still freaks me out tho. :D

Alphawolf 2004-08-26 07:34 PM

BTW, does penisbot hang out here at all?

Kit stops by once a week or so. Just do a search for his name.

Alphawolf 2004-08-26 08:31 PM

Thanks bret.

Cleo- actually just wondering his average time to review? It doesn't matter much...more of a curiosity.

I need to make more sites and mirror the one I have and submit to niche LL's.

digifan 2004-08-26 10:56 PM

Congrats, Alphawolf :)

I prefer to work with pics too... they can work like magic. And you can make cool free sites if you have enough tgp galleries.

Alphawolf 2004-08-26 11:01 PM

Thanks, didgifan.

Is your FTP issue resolved yet?
