Maybe I just develop my sites really well, but I've done six figures plus with that exact same amount of content and models that were slightly older (and had a similar girl next door look). I didn't overdo it on promotion and worked within the amateur genre, updated maybe once every other week and built believable characters that retained within a network of other single girl sites (50%+ retention month to month).

Lately I am seeing on personality sites with girls that look like they are models who were paid--not real girls that inspire members to feel a perceived connection. Also if you update too much people expect alot and it's better to spread it out IMHO. You push the most explicit stuff as the gem of the members section (in this case really explicit masturbation and toy stuff, plus girl-girl videos) and promote with the softcore pics and a solid online journal with story arcs.

I'm not going to spill every secret of my business plan here. While I appreciate lowball offers, I get the impression this overkill approach is more along the lines of "build a slick site with a model, throw a lot of promo content out there, see what sticks, and update like crazy to retain." I think it's better to really develop characters and sites where it seems like a real girl is behind it--if you do that right, you can launch a site with 12 sets, promote every other week, and update the site twice a month.

If you make it seem like it's really the girl running it, the perceived connection keeps your members rebilling and they cut you a lot of slack if you don't update every day. I think it also endears people to sign up--with this genre especially, you have to sell without overdoing it.
