Blogging and too much free content?

biftek · 2006-04-21, 09:25 PM

personally i don't think it makes much of a difference if there is only one pic/gallery or a dozen on just one blog , the problem is alot deeper it lays at the oversaturation of free content ,i mean just take a look at the hun or any other tgp/link list where there is endless numbers of free shit for any perve to click and whack off to without having to buy

and there is lays the problem for you to advertise you need to promote what's inside, when you look at alot of other markets they use rewiews/articles/write ups/word of mouth/tv/radio, to promote what they are selling , however porn is a different thing most ppl that look at porn can't be fucked or don't want to read ,while you do get that % that do read over the reviews sites looking for sites to join up with , they are the ppl who are more savvy with there dollars

every marketing person knows that your never going to get a huge % of ppl that buy , you are going to get a huge percent that are just there for for the free content and a small % that a willing to buy
while it is true that you need to give the consumer a taste of what's inside keep them wanting more , which brings us back the oversaturation of advertising material ( re: gallleries ,tgps/link lists)

if the industry is to change where there is less free content floating around , you need to look at how the movie studios promote the latest big hit , where the studio themself are soley behind releasing the previews/trailer for the movie , showing part of the story line and content just a taste of what lays within , which means that the big listings like "the hun" and other joints need to get scrapped or atleast change of formatting

**note : only used the hun a reference as it was the first name that came to my mind, ... i guess that shows how much influence it has on the industry, good marketing of the name , easy to remember **

If wishes were horses then beggars would ride.

We have to live with what is, cos the scrapping of free content ain't gonna happen this side of the next millenium. There will always be people who will pay for more. Porn is like any drug, it's addictive, people get used to what is and want better. We should concentrate on selling what free content doesn't give you, what a good paysite, webcam service, dating site, vod service will give you. Sell what the surfer can't get from a TGP. Sell one girl amateur sites with webcam shows, sell mega sites will 1000Gb of video.

Either that, or decide it's all to hard and give up.

As for the industry changing to be like the movie studios? Well the movie studios will soon feel the bite as bandwidth gets faster, people can copy DVDs, look what happened to the music industry? That had to change to be more like the web, not the other way around.

My 2 cents.

that really has nothing to do with the advertising method its a totally different keetle of fish , doesn't matter if the movie is delivered via , dvd, the web or carrier pigeon , i was just focusing on the current advertising method

Actually I think delivery method IS important.

The old porn mags pretty much died when the internet came along. Why? Well one reason was people didn't have to go to the shop be seen buying porn. Your wife may find out if it's mailed to you. On the net you can be anonymous, it's easy to hide what your'e up to.

Also on the net you get it NOW. No waiting.

Or did I misunderstand the point you're making? Interesting thread!
