My question to you GFYers is...
What do you think of the current SoloGirl Paysite Craze?
Do you think companies are making bank on them or just doing alright?

Solo Girls sites are a long drawn out process. Its not the girl but how they are marketed and how wide the "image/character" of the girl can be effective in. The Girl does not have to perfect, infact many solo girl sites have girls in them that are not even that "hot" even over weight, however I have always been in the philosphy that no matter how the chick looks she can have an audience. Historically one can look at what
Steve LS did with
Tawny not even 3 maybe 4(?) years ago. He
branded her and made the name almost a family name amoung surfers. That has REWARDS! Huge rewards or Steves Pool is fake and his car's are photochopped.

You are right I think to a degree. Here is why. It all depends on Content. Now a Solo Girl can do well and just as well as a Mega site. But what you might be missing here is the element of uniqueness. What I mean by that is there can only be one girl and guys will love that girl online, be loyal recurring members and happily pay. Charge back ratio's for TRUE solo girls sites I am sure are less than Mega site concepts since the audience is "Attatched" or "Likes" her and the personnal attention a solo girl site can create is priceless to subscribers.

Solo Girl is not for every adult webmaster or every program but it is a matter of harnessing and focus of the program. If you remember the AMATEUR craze alot can be learned from that. The internet went from mostly prostuff, PlayBoy scans, that were throw aways by big media companies such as Hustler etc. REF: Falcon FOTO circa 1997.
The explosion of amateur was immense and solo girl sites are I believe another iteration of this.
