    My First Paysite is complete!

    The conversion is complete, my old Free site SweetCams.net is now my NEW and FIRST paysite, also called SweetCams.net ;)

    Please check it out and let me know what you guys think! I know it's pretty amateurish, but hey, that's my niche.

    All critiques and criticism welcome.

    SweetCams.net

    Thanks,

    -Phil

          I only see JPEGs, no cams
          I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
          I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

              but that's part of my ploy ... confuse the surfer until all he knows as that he must spend money.



              Thanks for the input, I was wondering how that would go over ... I do have two different pricing models that I am testing right now, wasn't sure if it would scare people off.

                  Concept?? I knew I was forgetting something.

                  Shit.

                  Nah, just kidding. It is targeted primarily at dial up users, and yeah, there ARE free sites with more content out there, that's how I got this idea.

                  When SweetCams was a free site and I had 15 - 25 pics of each girl I constantly got email saying "I want more pics" ... so I started emailing people back, and even did a poll asking if people would be willing to pay a fee to see 'the rest of the pics'. The response was an overwhelming "yes, I'll pay, but I won't pay a lot".

                  So, I thought it was time to make a good ol' fashioned pics only pay site.

                  The two different billing options I have right now:

                  $4.00/ month recurring.

                  $5.00/first two months, recurs at $19.95/month. (Really bad idea? Chargeback hell? So far it seems to be working ... people are too lazy to cancel when they know they have two whole months to do it. Input?)

                  I'm trying to be real straight-up about what the user will get, but tease the shit out of them so that they KNOW there are only 100 more pics of this girl inside, but it is worth it for them to pay $4 or $5 to see her pussy spread open and up close.

                  Well, there ya go, I guess that is my 'concept'.

                          I don't think I would close a site because I see two different prices ... if I wanted to signup, I'd go to the signup page and check it out (and see that both prices are available) .

                            The site looks ok for me, nothing special but ok.

                            I thought when i click the "german" button at the top of this page that there are a real german translation. After i clicked the link and saw that its only a google translation i was shitting my pants about this text

                              Yeah, I guess I need to get a real translation service if I want to use those buttons. Always wonder what that text ends up saying..

                              Care to translate that sentence for me?

                                  maybe your billing model will work better than the standards. If you have good volume it will take a bit more than 2months to find out. Worths a try.

                                      I'll let you know.

                                      I've been offering memberships since Dec even though the 'non-members' part of the site was not complete, and I have about 15 $5 members that have not cancelled and will recur in Feb. I also have about 25 $4.00 members that have recurred monthly without cancel. (note: I offered $4.00 memberships a few weeks before I offered $5.00)

                                      So far, my cancellation rate (within the first month):

                                      $4.00 = ~30% cancelled.

                                      $5.00 = ~30% cancelled.

                                      Of course, the $5.00 guys still have a little while to cancel, but I feel like they would have already if they were going to. We'll see what happens when I actually start pushing the site.

                                      -p

                                                Alright, alright, hahaha, Phil's text looks real goofy in German.


                                                So, what are people's feelings on having a porn site professionally translated into different languages? A worthy investment? Not that i'm gonna run out and pay thousands to have my little site translated, but what do the big-boys do to reach out to a more global market?
