Are Blow out content sales finished?

We needed to raise some quick extra cash, so decided the best way to do it was a blow out content sales on Bargain Basement Content Store.

So we put up over 840 sets for the total price of $1200



Well to date we've had two sales in a week and as the offer was only for two weeks am I right in thinking blow out sales are not what they used to be?

It depends on how good it is not how exclusive.

I still mostly buy blowout sales only for content, either that or packaged sets. But since I only use them for AVS, galleries and freesites it doesn't make much of a difference.

No it does not, unless you are talking about a company that is big enough to afford $24,000 on content.

Most members expect to see at least, 5 sets a day. They want 5 sets that they have not seen before or 5 great sets. So assuming they will log on 4 days out of 7 for a month that's 16 days. Then assuming they look at 5 sets we are talking around 80 sets. Now what site is going to convert by telling people it's 80 sets?

80 exclusive sets @ $300 a set = $24,000 thats 80 sets of 80 girls shot in various locations, clothing, etc.

$24,000 to kick off a site with 80 sets and no guaranty it will convert. Because no one jerks off to "Exclusive" they jerk off to good porn they have not seen before, that fits the niche that turns them on.

Exclusive helps, but the real clincher is piles and piles of good quality content that has not been blasted all over the Internet for years. Like the sets on Bargain Basement.

$12,000 will buy the 500 sets or videos we have on www.paulmarkham.com and leave a lot of change to buy more elsewhere. What would a surfer rather buy for his $30. 80 exclusive sets or 1,000 sets that he has not seen before and specially selected to suit his needs?

Show me a paysite that puts up 5 sets a day.

Just curious.

ATK puts up about 16 sets a day....but they're the exception to the rule.

Paul doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to paysites.....he's a good photographer but that rant he went on above has no resemblance to the truth.

Also Paul, most of us don't pay anywhere near $300 a set for exclusive....its closer to half that.

And most surfers don't sign up to see picture sets per se....its all about the video these days.

All this guy say is very true.. SoBeGirl has about 500 different videos and they have been selling since day 1. Still today webmasters get them even the older sets. The MPG2 files that SoBeGirl has on the FTP server are great movers too. MPG2 files are DVD quality and great for webmasters that know or like to compress files by themselves.

The blowouts that are not moving are the ones like Paul has and are mostly pictures and solo girls masturbating. If you are going to start just a pic site I would think you are wasting your time and money. For the money, a provider like SoBeGirl is your best bet.

Rule of thumb, if it's from blowout, it goes to the FHGs, TGPs, and is worth shit in a month's time.

Exclusive is different - I talk to many website owners and I haven't heard one saying: "oh, I put the last sets I got from you on a TGP"...

@Lenny - $150 is just about right for a set if the order is 3-4 sets

Well there's no point in buying exclusive photos if you're only going to buy one set.


And Sobe.....STFU!!!
Nobody wants to hear about your shitty content.....spam your shit elsewhere

I don't think content blowouts are dead. Its just a matter of finding the right price and the right package.

Done.

Who is selling exclusive at $150 a set?

Must be mad, if a set does not sell for 5 times at $35 there is something very wrong with it and then we dump it into Bargain Basement at $5 a set and sell it 50 times. Most sets on the net make us over $300 easily. Or are we doing something these guys can't because the number of people shooting non-exclusive seems to be reducing.

But if you think about it if it was only that number you coulds buy a semi exclusive set for $35, upload 4 new ones a day for the price of a cheap exclusive set and probably better quality.

What does the surfer want, 4 new sets a day he has not seen or 1 exclusive set he has not seen?

www.karupspc.com is one and I believe www.clubseventeen.com do that kind of number. Sure there are more.

Would not think it was a problem for the bigger sites to hit that number.

5 sets or videos = $200
7 members a day = $200

I suppose the question is would 5 new sets a day make 7 extra people sign up or retain them every day? Assuming it was 5 decent sets or videos.
