Fucking hillarious thread. Shows that opinions are like assholes, everyone has one... but most aren't that profound.

What is your opinion Brad?

Should we assume that you think yours is one of the few that is profound?

This is the best advice in the whole thread. Especially the part about 'affiliates.' :smokin

What's your opinion Brad?

quiet:

How many videos did you have when you switched to a paysite?

Does your site have or ever had anything besides those videos - like plugins etc?

ok then forget feeds, how much origional movie content should you have before you open up a paysite and expect surfers to stay around?

you mean america? :1orglaugh

why not start a paysite for free :cool-as-a

spelling error?

Hmmmmm I actually had this choice to make about 3 months ago. I decided to build an FEB style direct marketing platform instead and it only cost $2K. The money may not be as exponential as a paysite but there's less competition and I leverage off sponsors as opposed to putting all cash up front. Like with any other business, for every 1 paysite that makes it, many others are mediocre or plainly fail. I guess with a paysite there's just too many random factors and costs can become exponential.

If you want to go the paysite route, I'd say study the more successful "non mega site" outfits out there--- ultrawired.com
exploiteedteenasia.com blacksonblondes.com If you study them close enough, you'll see a pattern they all share.

I wouldn't rush to building an affiliate program until you've completely engineered your sites to convert at a certain rate--going affiliate program early may backfire with high volume but low converting webmasters cheapening your program's rep bc your sites don't convert/retain.


To get traffic, I would set aside some of that money and pay outfits like GSS to submit your site for you to TGPs.

Good luck!

I cant believe that no providers havent jumped in here yet :1orglaugh
Well if you need exclusive videos look us up and im sure we will find something that you will be most satisfied with!

And yes also at the prices you have been talking about :Graucho

Pardon my ignorance but what is an 'FEB style direct marketing platform'?

GFED -- > I think that with 10K it is possible to do it, but it requires smooth moves and some good business sense. Firstly, your financial backer. He has to look at this as any regular business opportunity. He has to understand that yes, the money should be remade within X months, but there is ALWAYS the possibility that he will lose the 10K and maybe need to put in more because of some unexpected crap. Like the Visa thing that happened a month ago would've set you back a grand. You should NOT lead your backer into thinking this is guaranteed money.

As for how to spend the cash, it depends what deals you can swing first. THe PRIORITY is finding content and a theme. For 10K, I'd go with a very personal site, following one model. If you want an old example, look at Brunob.com it's not really original anymore, but this experience can be repeated for a low price with some good business sense.

The hosting is where you need to plan carefully. For Graphics, there's ALWAYS ways of getting low cost graphics if you search enough. There's ALWAYS a good artist looking to beef up their portfolios. Same for the web design. While $1000k USD is a standard price for a cookie cutter site, it can be done differently for cheaper if you can swing it.

Good luck man!:thumbsup

Thanks for everyone's opinions. I'm coming up with a plan/proposal for it now. :)

I think you may be better off starting 3-5 little paysites with specific themes. For example: group sex, pantyhose, pee, voyeur, wrestling/catfight, smoking, public, medical, shaving, etc. But 1-2 bigger ones of those themes would work too.

We have those types of content, and much more unusual types too : )

Yeah. I don't understand why they're aren't more high quality sites like the 3 above. Most of the really big programs are complete shit.
