What do you think helps retain your members the most?

brizzad · 12-07-2004, 03:59 PM

good content?

RRRED · 12-07-2004, 04:00 PM

Keeping your members areas simple and updated DAILY!

Access to all of your sites with the price of one membership...

FRESH EXCLUSIVE content

Hmm I wonder who has that?

angeleyes · 12-07-2004, 04:11 PM

- Frequent Updates to the Members Area! (3 times per month) with a preview of the upcoming updates.

- High Quality and Exclusive Content.

- Knowledgable and Swift Customer Service.

- I know a lot of people that don't like super "busy" sites that look like clusterfucks that are hard to navigate, so EASY TO NAVIGATE.

- Live Cam girls co-branded to the site as an upsell, the member may feel like he won't be able to talk to the girl anymore if he leaves the site. (I'm on the fence with this one.)
_______________________________________________

...... and on the flipside, to get webmasters to join and consistently send quality traffic to bring in the retaining members:

- TONS of QUALITY Promo Material. (FPA, HPA, Banners and Hosted Galleries. (QUALITY BEING KEY).

- Reasonable Payouts, and a variety of payout options. (i.e. Hybrid, PPS or RevShare)

- Good and knowledgable customer Service with quick and accurate replies.

- Weekly or Bi-Weekly Payouts.

- Program Run by NATS (I'm bias, but I know a few agree with me.)

That is all I can think of off the top of my head, back to work I go, hi ho, hi ho......

content content content. it's all about the content quality and how much of it they get on a regular basis. Filler content is nice but it's the site's themed content that matters. Deliver what you promise.

FrankHolland · 12-07-2004, 04:19 PM

you just have to ask yourself, what would I 'want' if I was a surfer and payed that amount of money for a membership.

Quality VERY frequently updated new content, and a loyalty discount. User friendly layout is a must.

Rochard · 12-07-2004, 04:30 PM

Content.

Deliver what your promise already. I went into a cheerleader site some time ago and it was nothing but feeds from other companies. That's not what a member signed up for. If you have cheerleaders on the front page of the tour, put cheerleaders in the damn site already.

And extras. After you deliver what you promised on the tour, give them something similar - and lots of it.

ustc9507 · 12-07-2004, 04:50 PM

For sure its content! You also have to have quantity to back it up.

Nima · 12-07-2004, 04:54 PM

I also think the MAIN part about having good retention is updates updates updates especially giving the members what they ASKED for! as long as you give them what they were looking for in the first place and have frequent updates there should be no excuse as to why you wouldn't have good retention

yup

we do, every week new series always exclusive always good looking girls and crisp clear pics, members appreciate that, rather 50 nice series then 500 crappy ones

Do you do free cam chat for every member or also pemium paid live chat fo a single member too?

Dwreck · 12-07-2004, 05:06 PM

Quality over Quantity any day of the week.

Easy navigation.

Rewards to long time members.

A high level on interactivity.

If you have a certian girl in the tour make sure you have her in the site.

Just deliver what you promise is that so hard people?

NiteRain · 12-07-2004, 05:13 PM

Hmm, I find slipping the customer a hundred for their 30 dollar purchase seems to keep them coming back.

I do weekly shows on two networks, plus member only shows... this is all included in the membership. I also do private one on one shows for an additional fee.

Thanks!

One more thing - may I ask you how much you charge the member per minute in the private show?

leedsfan · 12-07-2004, 05:21 PM

all the above....

...plus sending them bribe letters saying you have their purchases recorded, and if they dont rebill every month you'll show their mother/wife/g/f/priest/pool boy

Ice · 12-07-2004, 06:17 PM

great stuff so far.... bump

Major (Tom) · 12-07-2004, 06:26 PM

I would say that daily updates with fresh unique new talent is key, tons of plugins, etc.
However, there comes a point in which the effort and expense to help keep members outweighs its benefits. Sure i could spend 100k a month on content but willl that increase my numbers to 80% retention? I doubt it. I'm happy with 40% and spending a fraction of that in content.
There comes a point where its litterally throwing money out the window.

Cheers
Duke

2 things if yas leave out one ya will fail

#1 CUSTOM CONTENT WITH TONS OF UPDATES

#2 most important GOOD C/S

ustc9507 · 12-07-2004, 07:56 PM

tons of updates is very important. I rarely get any complaints. Maybe 1 in 2 months??? Its usually their browser problem.

MissMiranda · 12-07-2004, 11:56 PM

Well Being that I run my own amature site and its just me on it I offer this:

Weekly updates, usual sets have between 50-100 exclusive pictures.

BBW only Guest Models. I run a BBW site, so people on it dont want to see some skinny chick..

Alot of sites offer extra content inside and it has absolutly nothing to do with the theme of that site.

Very Easy Navigation.. All pages have header and footers

If something comes up and an update will be delayed or what not post a note so people will know whats up

BV · 12-08-2004, 12:04 AM

ALL OF YOU ARE WRONG!

What helps retain your members the most.

I would say it's their addiction to porn & masturbation.

ProjectNaked · 12-08-2004, 12:14 AM

TRAIL MARKER PLACED ---->

Tanker · 12-08-2004, 09:40 AM

it really is all about providing an experience they cannot get anywhere else!

we creat a lot of exclusive content ( even beyond porn) to do that

original ideas will keep them coming back

if its the same thing you can get anywhere else why stay when you can go dee how everyone else does it
