I hear alot of people talking about wanting less cookie cutter, less plain, more personality, etc

However it's about sales in total.

Sometimes it's better to make a plain pair of blue jeans instead of putting a ton of emblems and stuff on the pockets, etc

Alot of guys arent into comic books or that whole flavour. While its great you cater more to that personality and you'll please those fans even more, you guys tend to forget that you want to cater to the masses. There is nothing wrong with a plain design, a cookie cutter design, etc, theres alot more to it than that when it comes to a successful solo girl. Which mainly includes proper promotion.

Actually in my opinion, a tour doesn't make a big difference at all, as long as it's semi clean, easy to navigate and has good clean images of the model, they should make it to the join page alright. The people who still signup to solo girl sites aren't coming to their first solo girl site, they know how it works. All the other stuff, including the fancy designs, is to impress other webmasters and gather some respect and to prove they actually put the time and effort into their program in order to help attract affiliates

And regarding people and their knock on cookie cutter designs and strategies, theyre the chosen strategy because they work. Anything that works in 2012 should be duplicated.

Sadly there isn't a profit margin to screw around anymore, if you waste 25k on a solo girl site because you wanted to try some new things out, you could be shit out of luck with launching another one for an entire year.. or more

Nothing i've said is a knock on CatieMinx's site, anything Mutt/John produces will be good and promoted properly
