Paysite tip for the fuck of it...
 

I don't know who reads what boards so I figured I'd post this on a few. Enjoy and get rich.

Here's a simple little trick for y'all that will help jump your member retention:

Put up a "coming soon" section and link it somewhere visible on the index page of the members area. In that section put some small to medium size thumbs of your best models coming up in the next update and maybe some text about a new feed you'll be doing etc...

You accomplish two things:

1) Members who were on the fence about quitting might see something they are hot for and stay.

2) Members see that you are keeping the site fresh and they are getting their value for the membership fee.


Until next tip... Marky out...

Hmmmm... good tip.

Very good tip.
I don't run a paysite, but here is another suggestion for those of you that are starting... Automated daily updates. Have the site updated with new content every single day at the same time. Even if it is only 1 set, you will have people coming back to expect that and they will retain their membership longer.

Indeed. There are some good programs to help do that automatically too. Conman is a good one off the top of my head.

cool we do both of those things already :thumbsup

Mark why don't you start a blog and just write about tips ? :)

Because he would prefer to make money helping people with his knowledge/tips... :)

Cheers,

If I knew what a Blog was I might! =]

I am trying to get www.winwinwebmasters.com started but am waiting on some code to be finished for the automated stuff.

Making money is good too, but I don't mind helping out here and there for free. More people making money on their sites means more people can afford to buy good services.

Well he posts free tips on a lot of boards. It'd be convenient if there was 1 single place to go to, to keep reading them. A little bit of branding could go a long way.

Btw, could you please edit your SIG and take the fucking Javascript img source out that goes to hahahahaha and freezes up the browsers ?

It's just a message forum/daily news type script they call blogging. http://www.movabletype.org seems to be pretty nice, feature packed, and simple to use.

Uh oh, now I have to read. Thanks for the link though.

A blog is short for web log. it's like an online diary.

I use blogger.com -- their free service is top-notch, you get everything you need to run a good weblog. They also have a pro package, but I'm not sure what's in it. It differes from Movable Type and Grey Matter in that the script that runs it is on their server, not yours -- which is handy for those like me who fuck up CGI scripts more often than not. :)

At the moment I'm setting it up so that my updates page is powered by blogger, along with a daily personal weblog to keep people coming back daily -- should work, since the pull of the site is that it's a personal amateur girl type of site.

Thanks for the "Coming Soon" tip! I'm going to make use of that! :thumbsup

yeah, a coming soon area is good... i use it too

Keep them comming Boss!

I already have one.

I fuckin love that site. :thumbsup

:Buck:

Thanks for the kind words Mark - and yes a coming soon area is a super sexy way to tweak the nipples of clients to stay a little while longer.

of course automation of menial tasks like updates and classifying your content are other great ways to maximize your time / money and conversions.

Anyone who wants to see sample output of the ConMan scripts and in particular the automated coming soon feature give me a shout for a free live demo www.a-conman.com
