1. How important is the domain name for branding? Since most people will be members (and be forced to remember the URL), and since most of my members will come VIA tgp/mgp submissions and blogs. Do you think it is extremely important to have a short/catchy domain name?
2. Is there any type of content management system that works on a monthly lease? OR maybe there is a nice open source solution out there?
3. Where should I focus my security efforts? Password cracking? DDOS? What are the main threats to my business?
4. If you could give me 2-5 tips, on how to improve efficiency/effectiveness, what would they be?
5. What is your average charge back ratio? Is there any way to improve this? (less charge backs)
Thank you so much for any information you can toss my way  |
I'm not an expert by any means.. but i'll throw in my 2 cents
1. Domain name isn't that important.... so long as it isn't some crazy long 7 word domain or something...
2. Upload the content and do the updates by hand for the first while, don't spend money where you don't need it. Once you get big enough where your time would be better spent other places, then get a CMS
3. Strongbox is a good solution, and affordable. 75 bucks for the script i believe... but again, you don't really need this right off the bat... if there are not many members, what are they going to brute force, right?
4. Build freesites every day, they will always bring in traffic.... if you start building them daily... in 3 months.. when you have a shitload of freesites each sending 100uniques/day or something.. it'll be well worth your time.... (wish i woulda listened to this advice when i first started)
5. Tell the surfer what he is getting on the tour, and you shouldn't have a problem with chargebacks... Basically don't promise access to 3000 full dvd scenes if you only have 20 scenes in the members area and you'll be fine.
good luck with it man
