paysite owners paying people who genuinely know each niche to make each site "talk the talk" and to help choose the content. that generic text sucks, but if you want a site to keep its members, you need to give them what those particular members want.
a guy who likes 18 year old boys doesn't have to join a site with a bunch of 28 year olds on the tour, and uses text no guy into teen guys would use. and then the member area full of hairy guys, mature guys, generic guys, and balding twinks over 30 *LOL* the same applies to teen girl sites, and most other niches of sites in large programs.
why not sell the people using what they want to see and then give them what they want in the member area? no large program seems to try that - they'd rather complicate things. when i see some of the programs i use that know their member base and the retention of this site, i just gotta keep asking myself and the program owners - why don't you do that?
and they always tell us it's not that simple. but i suspect it is.
i talk to our rep at epoch who tells me how well exclusive content reality sites do, retention wise. maybe it's really that simple - make your tour really reflect the niche and the site's content and give them regular updates of the content in the niche they want.
