If Content Is King Then Why..
 

Dont more content providers have their own paysites?

They probably do..

Cuz they're too busy shooting for the lazy people :2 cents:

Because they don't want to build all the sites themselves?

If they provide all the content there is really no reason why they would have to build or manage the sites if you think about it ;)

two different skill sets?

Traffic is king

I thought traffic was king. :glugglug

Too lazy to find partnerships with programmers/designers or hire them? Maybe they don't want to manage paysites.

Okay then..

No shit, I shoot great video, and edit, do great still shoots, cull, retouch and edit. But my sites are sooo 1999 it ain't even funny.

Most folks can do one or the other. Then there is the time factor.

I mostly stick at what I am good at.

hit me up for semi exclusive content at non firesale prices.

A lot of big site shoot their own content, i guess it pays them to do so ?



.

You nailed it...

:thumbsup

Yep. And content is not too far behind. Fortunately, I have both. My DonnysGirls.com site kicks ass. There are few better on the internet. I have kick ass, exclusive content inside and a very "personal touch" with members.

Conversion is king traffic is the queen though...

I believe it goes: "Content is King but Traffic is God"

P.S. Content Producing is a full time job, I know because I do it 40+ Hrs a week and work a 40+ hr a week Real job. But smart as I am, I have enough content and good people that my first paysite will be up soon!:thumbsup

For me, customers are king. It really is all about the rebills.

agree... with out traffic you contents is use less :thumbsup

:1orglaugh

Try driving 1 million unique hits to a site with nothing but a sign up page.

Then put up a site with great content and do nothing to get traffic.

Which site will make the most money?

What ever you do you need some SOMETHING to sell the customer. But if you do nothing to get traffic someone will find you and sign up. Search engines have spiders.

Best thing to do is do Content, site design and traffic the best you can.

Some content producers do have paysites and as the business changes more will have them.

Problem is producing decent content is a full time job, you need more people to open and run sites.

Different skills yes, but nothing that can't be learnt.

You are so right...I have 5 sites launching in the next month..Content IS KING!!! If you can make it..you can do whatever you want with it

I've produced my own content since '97, but have never sold it. Just use it for my own paysites.

I tell you this, its hard enough making an affilate program and building sites, hiring staff, managing all this stuff. Let alone go out and shoot content as well. Its 2 different business models. People who shooot good content and business people who can turn that content into cash.

You need a lot of time and money to do both at once. And staff

I ment text content that is spidered by SEs and gets you target traffic, not photo/video content.

But with lots of quality content (Simon Scans etc.) you can get a very good rep and surfers will come for themselves after a while.
