Does TEXT sell? - GoFuckYourself.com

Sly_RJ · 01-11-2003, 11:17 AM

You guys have seen my "stories". Several have sent me messages saying they turned them on, haha, I find that pretty funny, but hey, to each his own. So I've been thinking about using stories more... on free sites, galleries, AVS, etc...

How have stories been treating you?

I know Sleazy does well with them, how about the rest of you?

Va2k · 01-11-2003, 11:21 AM

NO way man text don't sell DONT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!

ZoiNk · 01-11-2003, 11:33 AM

Text should sell.

Females get turned on by stories, guys like pictures, so try a few for women sites with your stories. I know most of the chicks I know that are into "porn" go for the stories over the pics or movies.

I find a mix of pictures & stories work the best for me but it's hard finding pictures to match up my stories. Guess I should get the pictures first & write a story around them...

I can make custom pics with my models to match your stories !

mrsexkey · 01-11-2003, 12:29 PM

Text definitely sells. We have webmasters that do very well with stories sites on SexKey. I can't mention names, but one of them makes in the neighborhood of 30k a month just from their story site. It's all in the traffic. If you can get the targeted traffic, then it is definitely a great niche.

some of the best advice i got regarding selling particularily on TGPS is that,

MEN do not have any imagination and need you to build up a fantasy for them, a few lines of text or story about a girl can makes sells jump like mad...

Why do u think the reality sites sell so well?

Stories are hot. I know of a site which sells sex stories on CDs and each payment is $14.95 thereabouts and if you checked the number of verified users, you would see he has made a killing on it. Over 10k verified members. Geez.....now I got to get those sex stories sites going also.

In my experience, both women and men like stories. In fact, a lot of men write very good ones.

Stories/text is the area that interests me most...just wish I knew a better way to "sell" it.

I'd be interested to know what stories he/she is selling on CD? Does he/she have the license to do so?

I haven't seen much content for sale that allows that type of distribution.

Fletch XXX · 01-11-2003, 03:55 PM

I agree. I saw a Sex Story plug in once that even had things like 'Author: Unknown'

and know some are just from the old BBs story traders. I have a friend who has written in this industry for 5+ years, and youd be amazed at how many people just steal stories, especially just retyping them from magazines etc... he gets ripped off all the time.

no doubt it goes on, and more often than it should.

BVF · 01-11-2003, 04:04 PM

I believe text is better. In fact, this very issue was featured in Sex Swap's latest newsletter.

Quote:

The internet is NOT multimedia. The internet is TEXT. Email is TEXT. Chat is

Corporate america and adveritising firms still have THEIR HEADS UP THEIR ASS.
Banners are big and bulk and ugly and make people mad. Remember two weeks ago
when I had that bottom ad in the newsletter where I ask readers to click on the
counter...and I asked 6 times? Was anyone offended with all those links? Now
what if I had hit you with 6 banners? Holy Cow!!! Call the cops! Text links are
awesome! They offend NO ONE, you can use hundreds of them on a page, and they
use little or NO bandwidth.

I suppose it depends on what you are going to do with that. If you wanted to upsell the reader to something else it might be better if you cut the story and pics somewhere before she gets the facial

Just my

The Other Steve · 01-11-2003, 05:49 PM

And as for text links selling better than banners ... perhaps a little eye candy doesn't hurt and encourages the surfer to click the text link.

Nice job Sly_RG, You would do great promoting live Cam girls.

Mojo · 01-12-2003, 08:38 AM

Sly,

That looks good, but here's

from someone who has been exclusively in stories since dinosaurs roamed the net...

- I'd leave out the hardcore pics...stories surfers are into using their imagination and like to "fill in the blanks" themselves.

-Stories surfers gennerally like to read a few genres of different stories. One guy with one girl "I insterted my turgid rod into her dripping quim" type stories are brushed over.

-The most popular topics are group sex and wife sharing/wife sluts (which corresponds with what the most common fantasies are in men and women)

-Stories surfers are older, wealthier, and are more composed of females then general porn surfers

-Very few persons under 18 bother to surf for stories.

-A bunch of stories on your site (with proper titles and headers) makes for excellent spider bait.

stocktrader23 · 01-12-2003, 08:51 AM

Wasn't looking at the pictures but it got my dick hard.

Seriously, pretty good. I have only read stories a couple of times from magazines. That one is as good as or better written than some of the ones I have seen there.

Off the subject but Zoink

I laugh everytime I see your name. Not sure if thats why you chose it but I picture Shaggy yelling Zoinks every time you sign a post.

Later

It's a marriage, really, between the pic and the text...too much and you lose them..not enough and you lose them.....

It's the building of a fantasy....it's a tease...

I have teaser story sites with no pics that do just fine....and picture stories with text that also do fine...

In the members' area, stories help with retention....

Engines can't help but spider text....

I always recommend text along with graphics....text loads faster...
but you gotta find a balance between the two.

Men do read.

Sly_RJ · 01-12-2003, 11:28 AM

This is all very interesting.

I appreciate all of your comments. I have a couple ideas of what I'll be doing, we'll see how things go.

Thanks again!

KRL · 01-12-2003, 11:41 AM

I've never heard any failures with stories. BDSM ones do really well. Also if you pop them into audio format, phone sex style, guys dig that too.

Mojo · 01-12-2003, 06:26 PM

Audio stories are great and there is a lot of good, inexpensive content out there.

However, there are more customer service emails about audio stories than everything else combined....

Anyone know why??
