    How much Free Content is enough?

    We've added 10,000+ images of Free Content on Platinum Bucks offering it to our webmasters.

    Is this enough content?

    How do people like it updated?

    I dont think its ever enough, we have webmasters already asking for more, the 10,000 images where just added a month ago.

    I know Free Content is important to webmasters so I just wanted to know your thoughts.

              I think 100,000 images would be enough.

              Followed by 25,000 vid clips

              10,000 erotic stories

              That might possibly be considered enough.

                  I havent used PBucks much... but, with all that content, I just may.

                  When was the content updated? Since I havent ever been to that section, I just wanna make sure the content is overused yet...

                  And 10,000 is a good start, I'd say 100,000 with different tiers of sales getting access to different tiers of content.

                      Pro ya 100K seems like a dream ammount.

                      I like the idea of more sales gets access to more content

                      The content has been added about a month ago,

                      not overused

                          Dave's programs convert like mad!

                          If you aren't using any of his programs you are missing out on a lot of revenue.

                                      It seems like anymore the webmasters want to pick thru the free stuff for just the top quality shots and hand them out free, while overlooking the normal less than best ones. Must think it will somehow increase their sales.

                                      I haven't seen a "Click here for even BETTER pics" etc much lately. Make 'em use what you have up or get out Dave!

                                      And the tgp sites aren't helping with the, hey I have seen that TWICE so I refuse to accept the gallery. Too many sponsors seem to have fallen to the give em more and more and more and more... lol You should have a fair amount out yes, so it can be rotated. Then you have some sponsors expecting the webmasters to buy content to promo their paysites which is a hoot.

                                      What everyone says about the surfers getting too much for free is true if the numbers on webmaster available content keep increasing by leaps and bounds.

                                          I believe we do have free video clips in our free content section.

                                          One of our top sites is adult movie network so I specifically wanted video clips for free content.

                                          AS we get more new niches we will be adding more for each niche.

                                          I know there is never enough free content to give away, hehe

                                                          How much is enough? Depends on who is asking.

                                                          If it's a webmaster asking, I'm sure there will never be enough.

                                                          If it's me.... I just spent all day adding five thousand new pictures to our free content, including some Tawnee Stone pictures..... That brings our total up to some 45,000 pictures..... That should be enough for a few more months...........

                                                              Personally I think any is too much. Funny when I started, maybe two sponsors had ten or twenty pics that were free, and everyone else just paid for their stuff.

                                                              Of course conversions weren't anywhere near as bad as now, the number of people that ripped off their resellers was a lot less, and the outright number of resellers cheating wasn't so much an issue.

                                                              Ah well, one day porn will be free, since it seems to want to so bad...

                                                                  maybe make sure that the WMs are actually using it (ask them to post URLs w/ your content?) so you know the system is working and not effectively blocking legit WMs from your content.

When I first started in this biz i used free content it got me KNOW WHERE then I started shooting ugly chicks and made a freaking killing with clickcash Then that died then my money went bye bye!!!

                                                                          Never put all ya eggs in ONE place lol I found that out the hard way. its taken me a year just to recover from that. I was making well over 1400.00 off click cash for 3 months quit my job started doing this full time opened my own paid site and BAM click cash died I died lol but it was a good freaking RIDE lol taught me alot. NOW I have had no choice to work my tale off to get where im at now and TRUST me I AINT near anything lol just barley making it. BUT I WILL ONE DAY DAMN IT

                                                                          I could be way off on this but my thinking is why give out free content that gets over used via tgp sites or on some smucks paid site and that smuck don't even have an account with ya!!! OR another good thing I would like to see personaly is maybe reward webmasters that bring in a % of signups with Free content. But before they can get any of that free content make them buy their own Then ONLY give out a few sets to a few webmasters then another free set out to webmasters etc.... just dont keep given out the same set to 100 top selling webmasters that would defeat the perpouse *shit can't speeeel* you get what im say eh?

                                                                              BTW< I reduce all sponsor pics BIGTIME in quality and resolution. All my galleries say this in text on them, that the better pics are inside the paysite. I give away a lot but it is not hi-quality.
                                                                              I was going to use Lightspeed as I see they have very good content, but having a limit and having to ftp just a few at a time made me feel like a beggar or something. And what a pain in the ass it was. Either give me the content to promote your sites or don't. I'm not going to sit here all day long and download one pic at a time. Nothing personal Lightspeed, I like your sites man just not going to promote if I gotta do it this way.

                                                                                  personally I think the current content is too much already - seeing so many newbies getting the content in the first days, putting them on a free host and submitting to every freeloader heaven (aka tgp) out there is a shame.. considering it could have been used for something that converts and on a real host

                                                                                  dont get me wrong, free content is alwayss nice to have if it fits the site's niche and is of decent quality.. but you already got soooo much (yet not a single 12pic gay series ;)

                                                                                  another idea... let your webmasters "buy" fresh content with those extra points.. too lazy to check how they are called
                                                                                  maybe remove it all from the free content area and give 10 "base" sets, or give a new webmaster 10 points (or whatever) to claim 10 sets and thats it.

                                                                                  yea I really like that system.. gonna register a copyright for it.. but after I slept some hours and after the worldcup matches

                                                                                      Here's a ponderous question.

                                                                                      As we all know it's usually the 80/20 or 90/10 rule. In our business, that would mean the smallest percentage of affiliates are generating the most revenue.

                                                                                      So, of affiliates that are in the top 2-5% of those producing revenue for any particular program... do they even give a fuck if you have free content (presuming the site doesn't require specific pics to promote, like Tawny for example)?

                                                                                      It is obvious that providing free content benefits the bulk of webmasters out there... and they pay our bills so we ought to keep providing it!

                                                                                      I think at some point the # of free pictures one has available just becomes part of the sales pitch to get webmasters to sign up for an affiliate program... just as a paysite will quote the # of images on the inside to attract a buyer. It's obvious that the bulk of the content will never be seen or used in both instances.

                                                                                      Brad

First I want to test out the conversions, and whether it sells period. If it does sell, I'll be more than happy to buy additional content to promote the site. Hell, I'll even buy some good and related content directly from the sponsor.

                                                                                          There are too many other tried and tested programs out there supplying free content, I would be crazy to switch to another new program without having something to promote it with.

                                                                                                              But our content would get staturated and we would never sell any. Right?

                                                                                                                                                  How about changing your selection of free content out on a monthly basis so that it's always changing and webmasters that come in at different times naturally will use different promotional images? This might help with the shelf life of some of the images that are being used out there.

                                                                                                                                                          Bangbus, Big Naturals, Tawnee Stone, Karup's, all giving away enormous amounts of free content and all doing very well.

                                                                                                                                                          The problem is for generic cookie cutter sites like SUPER MEGA CUMSHOTS with 500,000 pics and 250,000 videos that don't have any good quality content people can't see EVERYWHERE else.

                                                                                                                                                          Those are the sites having problems with all the content being given away. Not the places with good quality, exclusive stuff.
