My point was that I try to make them stay so that I get paid for the content. If I have 600 sets (10 each x 60 models) and you have 1800 sets, that simply means you have 3 times as much.

The question then becomes what is that number of sets generating in revenue.

At 1300 average members, if I can retain them all, they pay a total of $68.85 ($24.95 1st month, $21.95 next 2 months) to get 1800 sets (because I limit each model's section to 10 sets, pushing set 1 off when set 11 is posted).

$89,505.00 income in the 90 days for that content. If I left all sets there all the time, those same 1300 members could join just once in the 3rd month and get all 1800 sets, which means $32,435.00 income for those sets and then not come back for 3-4 months and repeat the process.

I'm not sure which way is best. That break down says my way is, BUT it clearly doesn't take into account the number of guys that don't join because they know there isn't all 1800 sets there that day. Maybe (likely) I'm making a mistake and my new sign-ups would be much higher if I advertised all sets on there, not just 10 sets at a time.

I didn't mean to post as if I was competing with you -- nope.... I'm just an old bald guy with a couple of simple sites that update once a week and leave me plenty of time to hit the beach front bars and pretend I'm in early retirement.

I talk to pay site guys daily -- many don't give a damn about their current subscribers, and are just out begging for traffic to get "new" members. I take a different approach and try real hard to keep what I have....

Sorry if I sounded like we were competing, just showing the difference in our approaches.

Some of those scrambling for new traffic are doing so because they find this better than improving what they earn on the traffic they have.
