An article totally worth reading
Marc posted this over on GFY - but it is so good, I thought it should get posted here too.
http://www.adultmillionaire.com/ I'm not recommending this guys strategy necessarily, but there are some very astute observations going on in his writing. Here's a description of a period many of us will instantly recognize: "...In 2002 I was getting over 20 sales per day and it all fell apart... It All Fell Apart... A problem I saw in the industry. Sales dropped. I tried many things and sales continued to drop. I am not talking about a bad week. I mean over a period of months traffic to my galleries increased and sales continued to drop. Why? Traffic was good. After using the same main sponsor for one year I decided to try another. My sales were even worse. I was making maybe 5 sales per day on the same traffic. I tried many sposnors and I could not get the same sales I was getting earlier in the year. I realized there was not a solid sponsor that I could really do well with. There were many reality sites which converted well but I new I could not get a good foot hold using them. The only way to do well with the reality sponsors is to use their content. TGPs were either listing hosted galleries from the reality sponsors already or there were already regular submitters who were getting good listtings on the TGPs. Trying to compete using limited content provided by the sponsor against hundreds or even thousands of webmasters using the same content was pointless. There was not alot of room for growth of my business. |

A woman is like beer. They look good, they smell good, and you'd step over your own mother just to get one!

I also had to chime in on what a very informative article this was. This is the no hype, no nonsense, quick reads I like. The individual is a person whose brain would be fun to pick.
