        I find it way easier to find new models now because girls who are interested can much more easily find girls who have already modeled and get referrals.

        But I do think there are people who are maybe less likely to buy if they can get a lot of what they are looking for online for free.

          That's because you're doing it wrong. I'd say 95% of mine are answered.

            Look at any TGP now a days. I can list a few that i go that have 1000s of hours of free porn too look it, that update everyday.

            I dont know why ANYONE buys porn nowadays
            Try jerking off to 10 second clips. It gets old fast. No tgps are giving out 30 minute movies for free. They'd have a million dollar bandwidth bill at the end of the month.

            You either have to be smart enough to use bit torrent/P2P software (probably accounts for about 5% of web surfers) or actually join a paysite if you want to see full videos.

            Now if bandwidth ever gets cheap enough to give away 30 minute movies for free, then you know there will be idiots doing it. Their business model will probably be selling adult dating or sex toys, something other than porn videos.

                Add tight niches to that.. Not mainstream porn per say. I make more money off just by running tops lists with my own ref codes than posting galleries.

I find it much harder to recruit hot college girls now that ever.


                  Opinions?

                  I can tell you a bigger threat then what you mention.

                  The faster the internet access gets, the easier for ppl to download porn on torrenwebsites such as piratebay.org (worlds biggest torrentwebsite).

                      I think myspace hurts dating sites more than anything. However many of their advertising clients are dating sites like Passion.com (AFF), Mate1.com, etc. I would love to see the conversion rates for those companies off myspace.

                      Now THAT would be interesting data! However since Mate1 has been advertising on there for as long as I can remember, it MUST be working for them in some way or another. Either that or some people just like to burn money.

                        MySpace is a weird beast. People cram so much shit on their pages that it kills my dual processor with 3 gigs of ram.

                        Ruper Murdoch buys it out and people still don't get it. It's like passing out free apples with razor blades inside. Imagine all these poor saps that started up their band's marketing with MySpace trying to go out and use the same name on their own domain. Who's going to come up first now?

                        As far as porn goes, no way in hell, unless you think people are tired of seeing naked girls. As far as fucking with the ability to hire models with any bit of intelligence, DEFINITELY. I've had models start with me then steal shots of mine to post on their myspace pages. Even though we are in a profit share agreement. Amazing.

There is nothing stopping a minor from posting a nude or topless picture, and there is no way to verify the ages of models that appear on the site or the copyright that may exist on an image.
                            MySpace is big enough that they would have an ISP type exemption. They don't post the content, they host other people's websites. When someone posts illegal content on a website, which is against the policy of the website, the host is not held responsible unless they don't respond to the authorities. Large websites like MySpace, Facebook, etc., would be allowed the same exemption as Yahoo, Rackspace, etc.

                              I agree with you there.

                              I get a good percentage of my models from MySpace. The funny thing is that they will do more provocative things in their profile pictures than they do for us but somehow they are worried it will get out they are in porn.

                              Although MySpace is a great tool for recruiting girls, but you are constantly having to retool your approach to it. The biggest problem's the 18-21 year old crowd who never have had a real job before, and are total flakes regardless of how much you pay them.

                              The 21-25 crowd seem to be more responsible, serious, and know it's easy money. They are not worried about the exposure, know the value of easy money, and are over their captain of the cheerleaders phase.

                                Very true.

                                The hard thing is those easy girls are not always on the web. Those who are seem to be college girls, who are worried about porn ruining their life because they still have the pipedream that when they get their degree, the next day they move into their 300K house, and Porsche in the driveway dillusion.

                                    As far as recruiting models on myspace, you'd have better luck on rating sites that offer "salutes" to prove that you're real. 80% of the profiles on myspace are fake. I find profiles with pics of myself or friends on them almost DAILY.

                                      Why do you have to tell the girls where the content will appear? If they don't know where it will appear they can never look at it on the web.. See how simple that is..
