Also of every 10 sites that are claimed to be a reality site only 1 might actually be a reality site. People seem to confuse a simple hardcore shoot with reality content. All these content providers just use the word because its popular right now and it seems to work. Just say it enough and people will believe it.

Yeah,
when a site has screencapsin the tour from all of their videos inside.. it's not a reality site
Most people to whom I've talked to seem to consider these as reality sites.. regardless of the actual content.

No its just the end of niche paysites with no content in them.
A few years ago every major program started rolling out all these "niche sites" which were basically niche tours that went to the same members area as all their other sites.
Obviously the retention on them sucked, but you could make money on them with the right combination of pre-checked cross sells and upsells in the members areas, plus now you had an email address to spam the hell out of.
With Visa's new 1% rules and the "sexually explicit brown wrapper" can-spam rules that business model is dead, and people are closing sites that don't have the content inside to retain members.
Originally posted by Just J hey, thanks, your opinions about future of niche pay sites are great,
niche sites have to be niche sites not only the name
i think exclusive niche content is the key
I think they need to be a combination of both. Exclusive costs big bucks and your average surfer wants a ton of content. So the exclusive makes your site unique but it is the non-exclusive that fills the site up enough where they believe they are getting their monies worth.

Niche dying? Are you serious? Not only that you can combine niche and reality, but this is the best time to have your own paysites, exclusive content is dirt cheap, non exclusive is a little expensive when compared to exclusive, but still good price, design is 1/4 of what it was 2-3 years ago... even paying VISA fees there was no time like this, specially for niche sites, people is killing to discover new niches to make paysites!

Disagree:
Most people starting a niche site nowadays have a damn site more insite into the niche than you think - They simply do not have the cash nor the marketing expertese to back it up
those niche sites you see dying are dying for exactly the reason Lenny gave you. If you want to do a tranny site, midget site, goth, housewives, whatever - you better have some great content that is exactly what that niche surfer has in his head he wants or he's gone - the only conversions and retention you'll have is the 10% who joined the site and forgot to cancel.
I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!
everyone is getting into the paysite game now..and now is the hardest time to get into it..to make any money at all you have to spend a minimum of 40k on content to start a paysite that will hold members for more than 2 days.and the competition is just getting feircer

10 scenes at 2k each is only 20k .I have seen a lot of sites only start out with 10 scenes, some even less.
