$Mention phonesex to some webmasters and they give you a look of pity, shake their heads in disbelief and mutter something along the lines of 'so yesterday'.
But they miss the point. Phonesex works. And in an era of increasing market saturation, non-compete upsells like Phonesex can drastically help improve your bottom line.
One of the reasons for this is that of perception from the surfer’s viewpoint.
By that, I mean the tube generation automatically assume that adult web content should be ‘for free’. Conversely, it is widely accepted and understood that phonesex never is.
Moreover, the telephone remains an inherently intimate medium that delivers good ‘ole ‘one to one’ with none of countless distractions of the noisy internet!
What is more, there are a whole army of people out there who are hardcore devotees of aural pleasure – who instead of just watching pics and vids want the added kick of talking dirty, or listening to other do the same.
With this in mind, a leading phonesex program have recently released recordings of genuine steamy phones sessions which customers had previously agreed could be recorded and published. It would appear that User Generated Content has even arrived in the relatively conservative world of phone erotica!
Furthermore, repeat callers will make your income snowball. Phonesex is addictive, making it sticky in more ways that one - with customers constantly coming back for more, puns intended.
When it comes to paying, customers in US and other developed markets usually call a toll-free number and their credit card details are captured so that they can buy time.
Elsewhere, premium numbers are employed whereby callers pay a higher than normal per-minute charge which they pay to their phone or cell company in the usual way. This money is then split between that company, your phone sponsor and you, the promoter of the number.
In countries like India where local premium billing is not possible, then prospective customers are invited to dial a regular IDD (International Direct Dial) call to get his or her kicks. The phone company to which the call was sent then pays a proportion of the call revenue.
When employed in conjunction with products such as pre-recorded Arabic stories, webmasters can make money from a global audience, practically all of which have access to a phone or cell.
Such numbers can then easily be promoted on blogs, tours, member areas, galleries – anywhere that gets eyeballs
And when it comes to product, it really is a case of ‘if it ain’t broke, don’ fix it’.
Phonesex, arguably the first form of e-commerce, has always sold well and I suspect always will
