Why do you think Twistys is so successful? - GoFuckYourself.com

clickhappy · 07-06-2006, 07:00 PM

Im asking because I want to learn what makes a site successful so I can do it that way too.

Theyre rolling in dough yet there are 1,000,000,000 other "beautiful girls" sites out there to compete with. Why is Twistys doing so good while others go nowhere?

Do you think its the persistence of keeping going, or do you think its just the quality of it? The tour is very basic and clean but not fancy.

Awesome content..always gorgeous ladies

DBS.US · 07-06-2006, 07:06 PM

I would have to say "Dean Capture" also

spacekadet · 07-06-2006, 07:06 PM

the women are in an entirely different caliber

CamsLord · 07-06-2006, 07:08 PM

twistys got the hottest around thats why

themanager · 07-06-2006, 07:08 PM

because of secret styles.

Doctor Dre · 07-06-2006, 07:13 PM

Look at the member aera, that will answer your question.

bigdog · 07-06-2006, 07:16 PM

scottybuzz · 07-06-2006, 07:19 PM

been around ages/traffic, established a name

clickhappy · 07-06-2006, 07:22 PM

Yeah but in the beginning they just used mostly Matrix content that everyone else has access to. He even said in the beginning he was laughed at because he was using conent that everyone else was using.
And not every site that uses high res pics is doing as good as Twistys.

pussyluver · 07-06-2006, 07:22 PM

In part it's their galleries and the galleries of their affiliates. Easy to approve... Got their act together. It is appreciated when you have to review hundreds of galleries at a time.

bawdy · 07-06-2006, 07:23 PM

great photography and high quality image files which they show on the tour

(plus hot chicks help at lot)

Just a quality website that provides a quality product to members. You only have to take a look at the members area and their update schedule to understand why.

Mutt · 07-06-2006, 08:09 PM

yes - shap and twistys were struggling until he hired Dean a few months ago

shap has posted many times on here that Twistys was a big success when he had zero exclusive content in it. if you have traffic - targeted - all you need is a solid site that delivers value - shap has gone beyond that now - he's ambitious and knowing him a bit i think he takes pride in the site and hiring Dean gives Twistys the ability to choose models and find some underexposed ones.

Trial and error he has also paid his dues in the biz. He's been around a while..

Nothing happens over night.. Lots of hours and long nights (hardwork and a dream)

That would be my guess

MarkTiarra · 07-06-2006, 08:21 PM

Twisty is one of the few programs that puts out sites that get their full attention and care. In this business, the majority of people are still building sites like it's an assembly line and not building sites that they themselves would be fans of. There is something to be said for doing projects that you have an emotional attachment to and would be a member of yourself. Twisty, Duke, etc... the difference isn't empirically quantifiable but the amount of care that goes into sites by owners like these is shown in the end result.

So if you're looking for some formula of models or tour types or what videos to use you won't find it. My advice is to build a site that you love so much, you'd join it in a heartbeat. Then when other people with the same tastes as yours come along, they will likely join too.

jayeff · 07-06-2006, 09:20 PM

If you want an edge, instead of facing established competition head on, listen to your own whingeing.

My most successful businesses began with me asking myself why the heck everyone does something a certain way (which irritated me) or why didn't they do such and such (something I wanted). It's not necessary to go out and discover a brand new niche, the way people in online porn often suggest: some small difference is often enough to set you apart.

Otherwise, take on board what Mark T wrote and always be your own most critical customer.

Tempest · 07-06-2006, 09:30 PM

He had/has a good source of steady traffic, but the bottom line is that he gives the customers what they want.. Unlike most sites that update once a week or once a month, they update EVERY day with MULTIPLE sets of content.

And if you haven't seen the inside of their site, go ahead and compare that with the competition. They've geared it towards making it easy for the customer to get to what they want.

Pretty basic stuff that few can grasp.

Bottomline is he delivers quality

soulbleed · 07-06-2006, 11:00 PM

constant quality, buzz

bluecontent · 07-06-2006, 11:20 PM

They're on top of their shit content wise.

Talked to them about shooting content for them. Mind you we shoot a ton. But they just asked me about a model that is going to be Centerfold for August for Penthouse...not even out yet...she's amazing. And they want her...and they will probably get her.

They are good at scouting and knowing who's out there. You develop a nose for it.

When it comes to shooting girls for bjs and bg I would feel confident to say that I have that nose cause we shoot 20 to 25 scenes per week. But I have very little clue about the twisty's hotties...at least the ones who dont suck a dick.

If you are knee deep in it and network you get the the girls that everyone wants to see now.

Plus their photographers rock.

Cherio,

Scott

Dude... you think he was struggling ? I was seeing the site all over this bitch... I don't call that struggling. Dean definitly helps thought.

It took 25 posts answers to get the right one. The original post was so way off it's unbelievable.

There are not 1,000,000 other sites out there like Twistys. END OF FUCKING STORY.

In a business that praises the mediocre, worships traffic, and treats the surfer as a problem, few sites stand out above the rest. Look at any review site, well any honest one, and see where Twistys is and the company they mix with.

Some talk about Exclusive, then put up the same stuff that's on 80% of other sites, yes different girl but that's not exclusive. Twistys delivers a level of quality that 90% of the sites out there are incapable of competing with. Members rebill because there truly is little choice of where to get more of that level.

Can you believe I was being told 6 years ago there was no demand for my quality of content on the Net. Who's laughing now?

That's my guess anyways...

Praguer · 07-07-2006, 01:56 AM

I can tell from my experience, that the Twistys team are one of the most professional, pleasant, positive and business like people I had the chance to do biz with in my entire life.

They not only treat their customers like gold, but they also go the extra mile to ensure their partners and providers are happy and well taken care of.

As a result of of course, they get respect and loyalty from customers, providers, etc...like almost no other.

andrej_NDC · 07-07-2006, 03:22 AM

Shap is clever, thats why.
