Rather than rolling out a mobile only site and spending all that time and money. Would it not be better to offer MP4 ( iphone and mobile downloads from your main site? as a bonus to your members who might want to watch the occasional video from there mobile device? I’m not sure why someone would join a mobile only site? at least not in any large numbers. I can see someone if they happen to be without there computer one day and want to get-off! Picking up there phone and watching the new mobile video of the week they just downloaded from markwolff.com. Not sure if they would really use or want a mobile only version. Seems like a very small demographic to be going after, at least right now.
I can understand a big program like Topbucks wanting to be the first on board with mobile. Brings attention to there program, they have probably picked up lot’s of new affiliates with it.
Funny i remember 3-4 years ago people telling me mobile was the next big thing. I do know that i have had several emails over the past 6 months from companies offering me there service to convert my site to mobile. Telling me i’m missing out on huge $$$$. So at least there making money.
Watching any kind of media on a phone is a royal pain in the ass to me too. It’s certainly for the younger crowd. I guess most of them will be blind, as well as deaf (from loud iPods), when they get older. Something to look forward to.
I don’t mind instant messaging on my PC or laptop, but that texting stuff is just not for me. Maybe it’s my fat thumbs, I don’t know. My partner is very fast at texting, but I just fumble at it. Yet I can type 100 wpm with 96% accuracy on a regular keyboard. A phone keyboard is just too damn small.
I think mobile is probably going to turn out as a phased out fad for the adult business. I mean, we’ve all answered the question pretty much. Newest Generation --> Mobile --> Laugh at the thought of paying for porn. How can it become profitable if they won’t purchase memberships on their mobile devices, or an any device for that matter?
What would be a good thing to research is how many surfers from our actual paying demographic (my stats say ages 39-55 approximately), are purchasing memberships from mobile devices. If there is a good percentage, then it’s profitable. If not, it’s a complete waste of time in my opinion.
loving the generalisations in this thread… we operate just mobile sites…so facts to share;
we get great conversions from iPhone and iPad - even USA, not just Europe
even guys over 25 watch gay porn on a cellphone
there are millions more out there who don’t have computer access,
So we’re working away here bringing that market to you…
if you’re a webmaster not monetising your mobile traffic - well it’s easy to get on board - links below - and we can help with landing page, re-directs etc
if you own a paysite and have no strategy for mobile - let’s talk
if you don’t believe me - fine - no problem, but still let’s chat anyway
I love watching movies on my iPhone - porn or not. I have gigas of movies and tv series episodes that I watch on the phone. It’s always available, and so much more accessible than turning on the laptop. The laptop is heavy (compared to a phone), and takes forever to start (compared to a phone) and is far less private (compared to a phone) - even at home.
Of course mobile phone is going to be a huge success - probably already is.
I LOVE that you can hop on a plane or in a car or go anywhere and watch your favourite movies or videos or listen to your fav music, all on your phone…you don’t even have to think about carrying around a laptop or netbook since you pretty much always have your phone on you.
Watching any kind of movie in a mobile phone or a laptop is so much fun. But it is always difficult if you intend to watch this movie over a movie hosting website since their website is not user friendly. Lots of clicks here and there and it’s just taking too much of your time and kills the excitement.
But over-all, the technology of watching a movie anytime anywhere has amazingly evolved!
