Mobility Is Future of Power

Mobile services and applications bring extra raise of revenue: Since the start of selling the Apple iPad the mobile revolution walks on up to the next stage of success. Mobility is more and more important to the people. So be a part of it with your business and convert web traffic into mobile products and use your mobile traffic on your pages with mobile subscriptions or other services.

In Europe, e.g. Germany, monthly payouts of more than $12 a piece for each subscription are normal. The user lifetime is more than five months. It is a matter of fact that around 18-20 percent of German mobile subscribers regularly use their handsets to access the mobile web. That means that nearly 10 million consumers are estimated to make frequent use of services. Around 8 million people use their phones to visit websites (13 percent of phone owners), 4 million write emails (7 percent) and 4 million use downloadable apps (7 percent). The mobile web use is especially popular with the 14-29 age group with around 25 percent using mobile Internet access. Imagine these figures in bigger markets!

In the U.S., people downloaded mobile data of more than 150 billion megabytes during the first half year. That was for sure no all adult traffic but it shows how much potential there is. The mobile business will grow to a mass market and definitely the adult industry will have its position there.

In Asia the mass market is almost there. China, Japan, India, Indonesia are high markets. South Africa has enormous potential. Europe is in a still growing position also. Brazil is coming and so the U.S.

It’s all a question of service, method and billing. The Apps for iPhone or iPad are somehow a way to monetize traffic but there is more in the classic SMS subscription or WAP shop and mobile portals to earn with. Services like video downloads, cam pages, dating portals or communities are basically good for safety income. Good partners are important to work with as long as you will be unable to do everything by yourself. Even though it wouldn’t make sense, because using expertise from partners in special markets, means no waste of time and money.

Mobile business burns and the flame is rising. Newest studies have analyzed that social networks like Facebook will be used more with mobile devices than fix PCs in the future. I think that themes like mobile marketing will therefore have unexpected success and also mobile affiliate programs will grow.

Dear readers let’s keep on working on this nice development and throw new wood into the fire — so that we won’t freeze. Be aware that you do your steps in the right direction, now! Bring your business in the right position for the next decade.

Let me know if you have ideas or questions … see you soon!

How Adult Businesses Can Navigate Global Compliance Demands

The internet has made the world feel small. Case in point: Adult websites based in the U.S. are now getting letters from regulators demanding compliance with foreign laws, even if they don’t operate in those countries. Meanwhile, some U.S. website operators dealing with the patchwork of state-level age verification laws have considered incorporating offshore in the hopes of avoiding these new obligations — but even operators with no physical presence in the U.S. have been sued or threatened with claims for not following state AV laws.

Over the past year, we’ve seen growing pushback from acquirers on merchants using opt-out cross-sales — also known as negative option offers. This has been especially noticeable in the U.S. In fact, one of our acquirers now declines new merchants during onboarding if an opt-out flow is detected. Existing merchants submitting new URLs with opt-out cross-sales are being asked to remove them.

How to Handle Payment Disputes Without Sacrificing Trust

How to Switch Payment Processors Without Disrupting Business

For many merchants, the idea of switching payment processors can feel pretty overwhelming. That’s understandable. After all, downtime can stall sales, recurring subscriptions can suddenly fail, or compliance gaps can put accounts at risk. Operating in a high-risk sector like the adult industry can further amplify the stress of transition.
