People love to hate on this board. Paul was posting some ideas he had to share with anyone interested and he ends up getting torn apart. I personally don't feel the idea has that much merit as my own personal belief is that building a brand is the way to go. Advertising and pushing upsells and other crap inside a member area cheapens your brand. Having very little content inside your member area no matter how quickly it updates is a bad idea. New members will be done with that content in a couple days and cancel out their membership... they aren't going to wait around a week to see another small amount of content...
But I digress, my reason for posting was to comment on the fact that this board is full of people waiting to snap at other people's throats. Posters quickly resort to name calling and slander rather than simply offering a different or countering point of view. I'm disappointed at the lack of respect for others around here and wonder if that's how many of you act in person... if people's posts around here are indicative of their business practices I'm going to have to start a blacklist.

But have you seen the brilliant ideas these guys are coming up with? Pure genius when the industry needs such deep thinkers. LOL
They are people with nothing to say who talk too much. And if the mods are happy to watch them effect the board that's their decision.
I take on what you said and they are good comments. As with Paul Markham Teens the members area will be open to view and it needs to be made very clear that this content goes ate the end of the month to be replaced by another selection, will show the content that's coming in a seperate area.
As for charge backs or cancellations when they have seen the content. I feel the target has to be around 60 sets a month and can maintain over that for 12 months with our archives. !2 months would be it and we would start going round again. Those who joined month 6 would still have 6 months of viewing to go. If they like what they had. CB and cancellations are not a problem on the $5 sites so don't see them as a problem here if the customer knows what he's getting. The crux is always whether they like the content.
There will always the guys who think they should get everything for $10 and ask why the previous months content is not in an archive. I will direct them to the PMT site for $30
Upsells and Advertising might cheapen the members area, has to be to bear the cost of the free live shows aand the dating site content, it will be more than letters.
As you say I'm trying to come up with new ideas because something has to change in this industry if we are to survive. Listening to advice from someone who started over years ago when it was very different and a lot easier, then got out before the trouble of today emerged. Is not the way forward. To suggest it shows how desperate and starved of ideas some are. They are the people who shaped this industry, product we sell today and being rejected by todays buyers.
