What sells better? Amateur or Pro? - GoFuckYourself.com

Nedder · 01-18-2002, 09:57 PM

I'm about to reinvest some of my profits in a bunch of content. Anybody want to offer from your experience what sells the best? Professional (penthouse type) content or the soso-lighting amateur on the couch type stuff?

I could get alot more of the soso for my bucks, but I'm wondering if its worth it to spend on the quality? Or do people prefer the non-professional stuff?

thanks!

Where's your traffic coming from? Where are you sending it? What conversion ratios are you experiencing?

I can't blame you if you don't want to divulge this information.

Hey Fr0-

I do TGP and AVS mostly. I'm looking to buy alot of content to upsell from TGP to sponsors and to my own Gold sites.

My conversions are all over the map depending on the niche, but I'd say on my best performing galleries I'm 1:250-400. I use either free sponsor content or the soso-bad lighting stuff. I'm wondering if an upgrade in content quality would also result in an upgrade in sales.

I know someones going to say its all in how you sell it, but come on, I'm still learning.

After some serious looking into the market, i've decided to put some bling bling into amateur.

But thats just my analysis

I say go amateur.... but more importantly:

Pick a niche.

Go with something that has a specific market like mature, tv/ts, golden showers, bdsm. If you just go straight amateur it's going to be tougher to get a return on your content investment. I always say, if I had to do it over again I would have focused on a few small niche areas.
