Question for Shap & other successful programs in the babe / pornstar niche

It's worth a try rather than sit on the domain for another few years wondering what if..
I'd try to add 1 or 2 exclusive sets a month to start with and increase that number as the site grows.
Best of luck with it

George, I may be able to get hold of some never sold before content from one of the best glamor shooters in the business. He's retired now ad sitting on archives that might fit the bil. What I need to know is how much can you afford.
Otherwise hit up Micheal Ancher this is his site. http://www.glamourgirls.com/
Michael shoots the best non exclusive content you'll ever find.
Every set unseen by a viewer is exclusive. This whole myth started with affiliates getting turned down by TGP sites for submitting the cheap saturated content sponsors were giving them. And Zmasters selling their discs 1,000s of times.Exclusive content only counts if you are marketing to someone that has seen all the content on the net. New surfers come in all the time and all content is exclusive to them. Don't worry about it until you get big enough to shoot your own. Then all you will have to worry about is finding models that have not been photographed yet.
Your real problem George is the number of people with top class glamor content or the budget to shoot it or finding people who can shoot it for the price you can afford.
That's why Met Art types sites are at the top. So few can get up there with them.Last edited by Paul Markham; 12-08-2011, 11:56 PM.Comment

Shap's explained it many times, he was very successful with non-exclusive content - the problem was his biggest and best suppliers of glamour content(Cloud9, Matrix, JokerSX) went out of business. He had no choice but to start hiring out photographers for exclusive glamour content.
I think if the non-exclusive content was available even today you can still create a paysite that is moderately successful in the glamour niche. IF, and it's a big IF, you can generate enough of your own targeted quality traffic. Without exclusive content you'll have next to no luck getting affiliate traffic.
If I wanted to find non-exclusive glamour content I would try to contact the DVD studios - they shoot stills sets as well as video. Times are tough, maybe some of them would license photosets and videos for a decent price.
Check out Adult Centro, I saw some glamour photosets on there of current adult stars.
Glamour is a tough niche.I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!Comment

if u do non-exclusive then your price has to be dirt cheap. im talking like $5 a month. and that price doesn't really say 'glamour'. the problem with glamour is you can't really come up with something new, even with a ton of dough. almost every glamour site is a copy of another. if u want to make money and are set on glamour, you have to tweak it somehow. like glamour milfs, sleeping glamour, glamour creampies, etc. otherwise you have zero chance of success.

Couldn't have said it better myself, especially in the babe niche... when you start with micro niches it's a different story thoughExclusive content only counts if you are marketing to someone that has seen all the content on the net. New surfers come in all the time and all content is exclusive to them. Don't worry about it until you get big enough to shoot your own. Then all you will have to worry about is finding models that have not been photographed yet.Kenny -at- YourPaysitePartner.com

Brazzers used to be 100% NON-EXCLUSIVE content. They hired me to shoot some share (semi-exclusive) content for them. I kept telling them that they needed to go exclusive or they'd never make thier mark. The consumer doesn't give 2 shits how much money you saved on content BTW - they just buy or log off. "I've never seen her, that, him, whatever before..." enter credit card info. So they finally listened to me and went 100% exclusive and gave that non-exclusive away for free as a tube site called "Porn hub" ever heard of it? They are kind of a big deal.
1. Use non-exclusive & semi-exclusive content as a foundation (bonus) to keep the surfer from leaving imediately upon paying.
2. Shoot 12-60 (or more if you can afford it) exclusive sets and update as often as possible. Start with solo masturbation and mix in a little girl/girl & boy/girl for spice.
3. Get that shit live and making money you're going to need it to buy & update with exclusive content every week.
4. Contact every review site and ask for them to review your site. This will take a while as they are backlogged for up to 3 months depending upon thier size & popularity.
5. Play the traffic game like everyone else and pray you make your money back. And take the initiative every single day to get more traffic & content. This is not "Field of dreams" it's a fuckin sharkfight and the babe niche is the hardest (but most rewarding) to do.
Good luck!
Oh, and hit me up to shoot exclusive content with never-before seen amateurs @ [email protected]Comment

create a site that other people will buy a membership for. one of the biggest issues with webmasters is not appealing to a broad enough market, except in small fetish niches.Thanks - I understand what you are saying and agree whole heartedly - pretty much the reason I started the thread.
My opinion on competing with the big sites is to not try to even think of that right now - I want to (as everyone else I imagine) create a site that i'd like to buy a membership for - content I want to go wow she's smoking hot fap time!
Honestly there is some great non-exclusive stuff out there, some banging hot models - some of the sets / attire is dated but still hot.
I see this all the time at GFY "that chick is a pig", when in fact I know "that chick converts and retains".
another isssue I see a lot of is bad design layouts BECAUSE a 'programer' thinks it's cool.
hit me with an email I'll tell you something very interesting. sell at bmbhome dot comComment

Glamour milf ok, sleeping glamour ok. Glamour creampie??if u do non-exclusive then your price has to be dirt cheap. im talking like $5 a month. and that price doesn't really say 'glamour'. the problem with glamour is you can't really come up with something new, even with a ton of dough. almost every glamour site is a copy of another. if u want to make money and are set on glamour, you have to tweak it somehow. like glamour milfs, sleeping glamour, glamour creampies, etc. otherwise you have zero chance of success.

Shooting glamor is more than some think. Its about getting a lot of things right, not just the easy part of image quality.
Its about getting the right models, location, make up, clothing and poses in a sequence covering all the basic poses, angles and frames. To shoot a glamor set good enough to get into Penthouse, Playboy or Hustler takes a day or more for most shooters.
To shoot a set good enough for Club, Mayfair Cheri, Chic, Leg World level takes a day or maximum 2 a day.
That's why the rewards at that level were so high. These were not sets selling for $700 exclusive for a set and video.
A facsimile of this level can be done for $700, it will be hard work. Points will be missed and the real quality wont be there. Will the surfer know the difference? The connoisseur for sure , I doubt if the money is there today.
Fit and healthy I could of done, did a few sets, there was just more faster money to be earned shooting brand new teens for teen mags. How much?
Not the $3,000 I wanted to get me back. Probably $2000 minimum. For 3 scenes of the same girl. Yes very different times.
Fortunately I don't have to.
And do know a man who could and still can.
In fact if it's stills. I have a few contacts that can help you out George.Comment
