    Who is the one true marketing genius in solo girl sites?

    There's only one, let's see if anybody guesses right.
    I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

      Only one guy who knows how to market a solo girl site? I know quite a few guys who have made some nice coin doing just that. But maybe it's like Highlander and there "Can be only one"

        But now that I think about it...the guy who did the very best and made the most and dwarfed EVERYBODY was probably the guy behind the Tila Tequila internet phenomenon

            yeah but that's not what I said - i said a 'marketing genius'. knowing how to market a solo girl site isn't genius, that's being competent or even very good.

                        My guess... Jenna Jameson. She built her site and brand and then cashed out. She probably made more than 95% of the single models combined.

                          haha - they are the complete opposite. i've never seen an opportunity blown like that, if TeenRevenue or Lightspeed had that guy's content they'd have made millions.

                          two sets of hot twins - almost impossible to imagine finding that.

                                My guess is Phil.... but there are quite a few that do very well and I'm not one to judge brilliance in marketing.

                                  hmm - never thought about her, a good argument could be made for her for creating herself into a pornstar who somewhat made it in mainstream and made porn more acceptable.

                                    no, but i think Phil has some genius in him as a photographer for his particular niche - NN - he shoots like a pervert more than anybody else I know.

                                        anyway, what made me post this thread was a vague reference in another thread i just saw plus was on another program site the other day where the term 'marketing genius' was used.

                                        the answer is....................... Mayor from Mayor's Money. Why is he the one marketing genius in my opinion? Because he took a model who was nothing more than average and made a star out of her. Brooke Skye, I was sent that girl by an agent a few days before Mayor signed her - she was just a typical porn content girl, nothing about her said 'solo girl site star' to me. I sent her pics out to my mailing list of exclusive content buyers and I don't think I got one response to go ahead and shoot her.

                                        All the other solo girl site stars - you can see they were stars or had a good chance to become one.
                                        I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                                              I love Mike, but I'll disagree here. He is more of a traffic genius than marketing. The same could be said for Tawnee, she is just an average looking girl.

                                                  I don't think I'd place Brooke Skye or Mayor's Money above anything Jenna Jameson or Club Jenna accomplished, though. I mean, he took an average girl and made some perverts pay attention to her. Congratulations...

                                                  Jenna, on the other hand, is like 1 of 2 adult models to actually "cross-over" into mainstream. Not to mention the boat load of money she's made by building her brand.

                                                  Plus, if you want to label him a "marketing genius", then go ask 100 people walking around any city if they know either of these two names - Jenna Jameson or Brooke Skye. I'd be willing to bet more come back knowing Jenna... to me, that's real marketing.

                                                  Not trying to be a douchebag... it's your opinion and I can respect that. I just think because some dude made a successful website off of one of your girls, it fails in comparison...

                                                      Jenna is a pornstar not a sologirl, so that's really apples and oranges! Jenna also is in a class by herself.

                                                        the answer is....................... Mayor from Mayor's Money. Why is he the one marketing genius in my opinion? Because he took a model who was nothing more than average and made a star out of her. Brooke Skye, I was sent that girl by an agent a few days before Mayor signed her - she was just a typical porn content girl, nothing about her said 'solo girl site star' to me. I sent her pics out to my mailing list of exclusive content buyers and I don't think I got one response to go ahead and shoot her.

                                                        All the other solo girl site stars - you can see they were stars or had a good chance to become one.
                                                        Heh heh I think you are saying more about yourself than about Mayor: "if I didn't see the spark, then it must've been a Einsteinian genius who did." ;)

                                                          When I thin of "solo girls" as in I see them EVERYWHERE, I think of Lightspeed and Teen Revenue. I see their girls everywhere, more than anymore else, and I don't even seek out that style of content.

                                                          They have bootlegged DVDs in Thailand and China with Lightspeed and Teen Revenue girls on them. I can't say that about any others.

                                                            BUT on the other hand.................. I posted the first photos of the model who would become Ariel Rebel on GFY. My friend Candido had shot her and wanted me to find a deal for her hopefully. Mayor was in the process of starting MayorsMoney and was all over me for the girl, I thought we had a deal done for Candido and Ariel but then the next day he hit me up and said 'let's do a test, let's shoot 30 sets and then my crew and I will review'.
                                                            So I went to Candido and he felt the same way as I did, either sign the girl or don't, for all we know he could have taken the 30 sets and done a pre-fab PerfectionJeff type site with them. So Mayor walked away from Ariel and she went to Panchodog.
                                                            I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                                                                        I would say the credit to starting the sologirl niche has to go to MikeAI.

She was sexy but nothing extra-special. Another skinny teenage brunette with a belly ring, exactly the kind of new girl that I film literally every week. The reality is that in hindsight, anyone can be labeled a genius after they have some success. Same for Tawnee or Jenna or any of the other popular girls. There are a hundred girls that could have been them, and any of them could easily have gone into obscurity just like the thousands of other porn "star" content girls that I film all the time.

I would think that you'd have a better shot at making a run with a single model site if the girl was willing to put in the work... because that business concept can offer the consumer things that tubes can't... like companionship in the form of email/message board contact.

                                                                                            Jerking off to videos and pictures is all well and good, but if you have a girl that answers her emails, goes on live cam, posts on her forum, writes in a blog, really extends herself... I would think the odds are better at getting that initial sale and rebill.

Mike doesn't consider himself a genius so I won't say he is either. But anybody in solo girl niche should know that we all still use his blueprint. He was the first.
