[Locked] FAKKU State of the Union 2016

lol, and i always thought people started "looking forward" motion.
doesnt matter if it WAS half-legit. the main issue was:
can it stay half-legit.

didnt think about that part, huh?

The fee is 3 dollars per transaction that would mean your chart looks like this:

1= $-2.00 per month just starting
50= $-100.00 per month
100= $-200.00 per month a few members
5000= $-10,000.00 per month
10000= $-20,000.00 per month wow look at that
500,000= $-1,000,000.00 per month
1,000,000= $-2,000,000.00 per month something to think about.

With your scale the people working on this site would never be able to afford the fees at the rate you devised. Not only that but look at the jump in your numbers! There are only a handful of sites with subscribers hitting that last number and none of them are in a niche market like hentai.

Since this is the field I work in let me also inform you on the cost of aquisition. Fakku is an adult site therefore unless it's by word of mouth you're not going to be in the public let alone listed on any search engine unless you type 'hentai' or the name of the site. That means you need to hire someone to advertise for you or set up partnerships with other sites your dealing with. Up until now the cost of acquiring new members has been relatively low because they had a large library of free content, the site no longer has that so I'm willing to bet at their current price it's costing Fakku around 5-7 dollars per subscriber acquisition.

That means added to the fee it costs Fakku 8-10 dollars per first month customer. Then they have to worry about retention. A second month customer means zero cost of aquiring them but that's where you have to factor in retention which in the case of this site comes from keeping content up to date which means from that point forward you have to factor in fees plus what it costs to keep your staff and content. I can't vouche for the company but I'm willing to bet they're paying 3-4 dollars per subscriber per month meaning the take a loss on the first month and pull a profit the second month if they retain the customer. That profit isn't actually profit though because it then goes into paying the staff/overhead.

Putting that all together I'm willing to bet the profit left after all that is MAYBE a few cents to a dollar per customer per month.

Granted once it's established and can either find a third party financier (a person who charges a lower per transaction fee) or reduce the cost of aquisition while increasing retention the price should come down but that's a lot of ifs such as:

If the site will survive
If the can find a new party for transactions
If it remains relevant
If they can increase content thereby increasing value

Until then, swallow the 12.95. I think it's too expensive too but I do know what you are suggesting is site suicide.

see you again...

My good bye to you Fakku, you've been good to me and other free users... But I think it's time for us to leave now. We get it, you're becoming official and even began to get new and rare content from Japan itself... Though at a price, free users who visit and who created accounts just to comment and join in on the community events and such will now be gone... Though some may lurk, I think we will not be returning. The price of losing the free users maybe small but can you grow with what you have now? (Don't answer, I will not be back to see the reply)

P.S Grow and Prosper and if you can do free content again then that will increase your popularity with first time hentai consumers.

I don't understand people these days. They want something to enjoy but they won't bother to support the artist? What if you don't get more works from them anymore? Just think about it guy , let support them , so dat they can Make more great stuffs and hell!! It's uncensored too. I'm with you Fakku

gotta wonder if this is going to cost fakku in the end anyway

i was planning on subscribing in a few months when i wasn't so broke

not going to happen now though :(. the licensed/original material alone just isn't worth coming here for me.

Fakku has ben the best site for me. But I cant afford to leave a trail, with any sort of payment plan. Plus loli is gone and a bunch of others so what do I even fap to? #notworth
