Seems like a site with double the content above, but priced at $30/mo gets stuck with an 'expensive tag'. Yet a site with half the content at half the price is a bargain. That doesn't seem right to me.  |
There is a reason for that. You have to look at the purchasing power of your money. That is what I did when we started Twistys. I knew Danni.com was the Queen of the glamour market. Her site was high quality and KICK ASS and it was $19.95. Was I going to start a new site and charge $19.95? HELL NO. I want to give the surfer a good deal whether they know it or not. I waited until we hit a certain level of content before increasing to $19.95. And the same with when we increased to $24.95.
Now you say a site with double the content (so 200 photo shoots and 12 videos) for $30 is labelled expensive? DAMN STRAIGHT it is. Why? Because you have Twistys at $24.95 that has 680,000 pics, 1500 models and 16,000 video clips. We update more in one month than that site has total. So do you still think $30 for that site is not expensive? It's about the purchasing power of the surfer's money. He might not know Twistys when he joins the $30 site. However once he finds Twistys he'll definitely never go back to the other site and he'll definitely feel that $30 for that site is EXPENSIVE.
