Hello Everybody. In my first 4 days with ul.to I'm already well past 50 EU. I'm very pleased. After the dispiriting collapse of 'the 'O' company' and withdrawal of Paypal from all the others, I decided to get out of paid per downloading and tried a combination of blogs/Imgchili/adult ad agencies and got my income up to an astonishing 3-4 EU/day! Not worth the bother, even for a porn junkie.
Naturally I'm glad to be back in this sector and getting off to such a brisk start, even with the problems with payment everyone is legitimately upset about. If you aren't making money, you just haven't found the right niche. I think it helps if you love porn yourself, because you know if you like something somebody else will too. I resist the temptation to clutter up blogs/forums with material I wouldn't want to watch myself, even for free. But the stuff I'll postpone a bathroom break for 2 hours trying to find, that's the stuff you can sell to others! In any case, I don't think you can get rich doing this, but if you are moderately addicted to porn anyway, its a way to get something back on your time.
I am modestly excited re. the Amazon idea. As I read it, you can transfer 100-300 EU to the German branch (I already logged in with my North American info....it works!), then just order stuff. Looks like shipping to N. America is only 3 EU! This could solve a lot of problems. There's even a site-within-a-site for English speakers. I'm hopeful this, or other imaginative solutions like it will save the industry.
The only thing I'm perplexed about is how confusing a lot of their explanations of their programs are--I thought everybody in Switzerland spoke perfect English. I wonder if anyone has tried going to their German site and seeing if Google Translator can figure it out? I think it would save them a lot of e-correspondence if they could just make it clear enough, even if it takes a bit more detail, so people can figure it out on their own. But the main thing is that it seems to really be working, and for that I'm very grateful!
Good luck to everybody!
