What would I do differently? It wouldn't be a babes site Honestly babes are the bitchiest niche to sell. There is a reason why very few companies ever came along after us in the babe market and had any success. It's expensive to shoot and branding is a major factor in the overall success.

Obviously starting Twistys with new non exclusive content and promoting it entirely with no bought traffic (all affiliate based and internal traffic sources) and on tgps only is not an option today. Nobody produces enough new non exclusive content the way matrix did and you can't rely on affiliates or tgp traffic to grow a business. So taking your question literally that method would not work today.

That said the true method we used to succeed was developing a brand that was built around caring for it's customers. Would that work today? Hell yeah!
