World Wide Billing: Bank on Switzerland
Switzerland is rich. The people who live there are rich. The people who keep their money in the banks there are rich. And Webmasters who target end users in Switzerland get rich. .Switzerland is rich. The people who live there are rich. The people who keep their money in the banks there are rich. And Webmasters who target end users in Switzerland get rich.
It’s also very secret. Many adult Webmasters have set up their companies in Switzerland because of its private “no questions asked” bank policy and “light” laws. In this months world wide billing report, we will tell you how to get rich and give you a few reasons to consider setting up shop in Switzerland.
Switzerland, by the numbers:
7.32 million people (size of New York City)
$32,000 average income (similar to the US average)
3.85 million Internet users
2.52 million males age 15-64 years
MAXIMIZING SWISS TRAFFIC: SORT, ADAPT, PROFIT
Follow these simple instructions to get the most out of your Swiss traffic:
Sort. It’s simple, just sort Swiss traffic and make a few of changes to your site.
Adapt to the local language. Translate your text links, banners, Web pages and member’s areas into German (63.7% of Swiss), French (19.2%), and Italian (7.6%). There is also a fourth national language called “Romansche” – if you translated into this language you could probably own this small market of 200,000. Or, you can partner with an international traffic converter, like nocreditcard.com, that has already translated into all of these major languages.
Adapt to the local tastes. Fresh mountain air makes a man hungry for fresh young women. Maybe that is one reason that the “teens” niche sells especially well in Switzerland. Promote this niche and watch your traffic spike like an Alp, or, satisfied customer’s unit. Swiss end users also enjoy foreign live content (never had their own because the costs are too high to produce locally). To keep the Swiss coming back, your choice of live shows should offer actresses that speak the local languages.
Adapt to local payment. You need to find yourself a good billing company with experience in the multi-lingual, multi-payment Swiss market. Estimates are that 50% of paying traffic in Switzerland uses telecom billing (dialer, broadband solution and SMS billing). Credit cards represent the other 50%. Switzerland has seen some problems with fraudulent dialers. For this reason prices that are currently charged to end users, yielding payouts to Webmasters starting at as high as $1.15 per minute, may be lowered. Take advantage of the great dialer rates while you can. Keep up to date on these changes in billing law or choose a billing company you can trust in the Swiss market.
Credit card transactions are not the dominant payment tool in Switzerland, as they are in the U.S., but it is important to note that the chargeback rate in Switzerland is low. There are fewer credit cards in Switzerland because end users need to go to their bank with a salary stub to prove that they have a healthy income. This is quite different from the US where end users only need to open their mailbox to get several credit cards. Ask your credit card processor if they accept transactions from Switzerland, and if not then find yourself a European processor that does.
Profit. Adopt as much as possible to the local Swiss market, and watch your income grow. Target the rich Swiss and make more cash today!
SWISS WEBMASTERS GO INTERNATIONAL
The majority of Swiss adult Webmasters work domestically and internationally. For a few Swiss adult Webmasters, “international” simply means the other two major German-speaking countries: Germany and Austria. Most Webmasters are truly working internationally. Since almost all Swiss adult Webmasters speak English fluently, the English-speaking markets worldwide (US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, etc.) are easily accessible. However, while the Webmasters speak English in Switzerland, the end users often do not. Translate! They surely will appreciate your extra effort!
SWISS VS. OTHER EUROPEANS
Swiss adult Webmasters keep a close eye on the rest of Europe. They fear that strict anti-Internet porn laws in Germany may cross the border and damage their environment. Today, the laws are still much looser than those for their European neighbours. For example the protection of minors – which is a huge issue in Germany – is not really an issue at all in Switzerland (yet).
Also, Swiss adult Webmasters are scared that if their country joins the European Union, they will see a spike in taxes. Swiss adult Webmasters can relax for the moment – the politicians in charge today do not want to join the European Union any time soon.
CONCLUSION
Bank on Switzerland for rich end users that pay high rates to adult Webmasters.
