Most paysites are pathetic
It's true. Most paysites either have way too little content (a few dozen picture sets and some plugins simply isn't enough) irrelevant content (why the hell would you put more cumshot and big tit sets on a bondage site than actual bondage sets?) or overused content (who the hell wants to pay to see porn that he already has seen dozens of times?).
Aside from that, many paysite owners seem to have failed to notice that videos don't just come in plug-in packages.
And what the fuck is up with navigation? If TGPs can give their *free* porn descriptions or preview thumbs, then your *paid* porn can also. 1000 pics, with 9 pics per page, on pages named "Page 1"-"Page 112" won't cut it.
Here's a few hints if you have a paysite:
- Have a nice amount of unique content. If you can't afford unique content, then you shouldn't have a fucking paysite.
- Have video clips (unless your site really isn't aimed at that - beautiful photography can go a long way too). If you can't afford those, or can't afford the bandwidth they burn, then you shouldn't have a fucking paysite.
- Have a large amount of relevant content. For fuck's sake, it's what people join your site for in the first place. 20 picture sets won't make the surfer want to pay $20 a month. If you can't afford a good amount of relevant content, then you shouldn't have a fucking paysite.
- Have good navigation with good gallery descriptions or preview thumbs. Preferably both. If you aren't willing to put in the time to do that, then you shouldn't have a fucking paysite.
- Update regularly, and visible to the members. (also, previews of future updates help rebills) If you can't afford regular updates, or aren't willing to put the time in, then you shouldn't have a fucking paysite.
After you have all those things - and ONLY after - start thinking about:
- Having a crapload of filler content. If you wait for specials and such, $10k will go a long fucking way.
- Having a bunch of plugins. They can be a nice add-on, but they're not the reason the surfer joins your site.
Maybe surfers are less likely to buy memberships because of all the free porn out there. However, the ones that do sure as hell won't do it again after having paid for a couple of crappy paysites. My guess is that the thousands of shitty rip-off paysites out there are at least as much to blame for bad ratios as the amount of free porn.
So, the next time you paysite owners out there complain about free porn "ruining the business", ask yourself if maybe you aren't at least as much to blame.
