My question is mainly designated towards members:
How many times did you visit the camsite you're using before becoming a member?
I'm not asking about spending your first Dollar, or why you signed up to one and not to another. I'm simply trying to get an insight here.
Becoming a member or providing an e-mail address+ a username is a conversion I check with paysites, online stores, and landing pages, and I think that if affiliates, and models would have a data based insight into it, we'll all have a better experience.
My main work is in vanilla e-commerce and paid digital marketing campaigns. I still however, dwell in both realms and try to implement knowledge of them both. What I recently found out in other communities is that many adult affiliates, VOD store owners, merchants, and even a few webcam industry veteran media buyers, stayed away from every Google tool that is not search engine optimization related.
Many are choosing to be unaware of the customer journey, and what is the experience of becoming a member from a big-data perspective.
It's logical and I'm not being cynical about it. Think about it, if you started to get paid for traffic back in 2002, why the hell would you toil yourself with tools like Google Analytics and check what happens to it? The reality of online customer behavior however, is changing, and I humbly believe that data based insight is also relevant for an affiliate, for a model, and for any content creator in our industry.
I've tried to gather some views from other colleagues on other communities, and their responses had mixed feelings, so I decided to zero in on something very basic, that analytics should be giving a peek into. In a standard vanilla online store I monitor before a campaign for instance, 96% of the buyers have at least 4 visits and interactions with the website before making an actual purchase. Many adult affiliates sneered at me by saying that the only conversion they see of value, is the Dollar they make, or the Dollar a new member spends. I disagree with that approach because it fails to understand what is the value someone finds in our content and experiencing it. I would however love to hear a feedback, and to double check that I don't spread a gospel of crazy ideas that just rattle the cage of old time traffic whales
Thank you so much for letting me interact with this question
