IMPORTANT Topic: Why is the Content Business in Trouble?
Hi. This has been on my mind for quite some time now. It's very apparent that the Content Industry has changed alot in the past year or so. Photographers shooting reality based exclusive content are most definitely very busy. They aren't who I'm referring to in this post. This post is for all the Photographers and content shops that have seen their business hurt by the Content Blowouts.
As the owner of a paysite we know the value of content. Without content, we've got no site, no members, nothing. From my conversations with these Content Providers they all seem to tell me people aren't buying their stuff and that webmasters are buying content blowouts of filler content, instead of paying good money on solid content. I don't get that. Why are people opting for shit filler content over excellent high quality stuff? You look at Fresh Photos doing a blowout of their stuff. Their fresh line was amazing quality. You've got guys like Jokersx and Cloud9 who are good photographers that have stopped producing new content for sale. You've got Matrix Content who has gone from 20+ new sets a week to 5 a week. You've got Reyko guys who have amazing quality stuff and yet I don't think they are selling out day and night.
What's going on? Are webmasters no longer buying content?
All of this makes no sense. Paysites and tgps are making money but content providers are going broke. We've had more than 5 content providers, that we deal with, basically stop producing content in the past year.
So here is your chance. Photographers and content providers speak up. Let us know what's up and how we as paysite owners can help keep you in business.
And Paysite owners are you guys not willing to pay good money for good content? Are you guys so greedy that you won't pay top dollar for high quality content that will in turn keep your member's happier and your content providers in business?
Hopefully something good will come of this.
