Exclusive or not exclusive
 

so we're opening this new solo girl site soon.. just waiting for visa. The guy who is doing the shooting is saying taking her 100% exclusive is a waste of money.. 90% of lightspeed girls are not exclusive for example..

does it matter?? :disgust

your content matters

Are you lightspeed?

What do you have besides ability to be exclusive?

well the content is exclusive..... and shot in HD

Actually, only our "teen allstars" (10 sites) series of sites features non-exclusive girls, the rest of our Lightspeed Girls are exclusive to us (15 sites) --- so we are actually only 40% non-exclusive

what sells better for you? the exclusive or non exclusive sites?

Honestly, our oldest sites sell best, we have some non-exclusive sites that sell better than some of our exclusive sites.

In the sologirl world, its all about the girl, the photography, and the marketing behind it all. :2 cents:

Steve you may wish to explain what you did when you started up lightspeed. Assuming you wish to share.

alright . .well we're launching soon. and we're gonna have a 5 grand give away + second and third place prizes to set things off and pick up a few webmasters so look for it maybe next week :P

thanx

(Reprinted from earlier "100 questions" threads)

We are constantly looking for new models. We advertise in local papers and on all our websites. We operate our own talent agency in Phoenix, and keep the cream of the crop for our Lightspeed sites. I also offer a standing $1000 bounty to anyone who introduces us to the next Lightspeed Girl. We get a lot of referrals from photographers and our current models. My goal is to make being a ?Lightspeed Girl? as prestigious for models as working for Playboy, Vivid, or Hustler.

When we hire a new girl, we first shoot her on a flat rate basis for 10 sets. We use the content on our teen sites, and let her guest star on our other solo sites. Once we see how she looks on camera, and if our members like her, we commit to shoot 20 sets a month of her with the intention of growing her fan base while we shoot enough content to open her own solo site. After her solo site is online, she then gets a monthly shooting fee, a commission off her own site, all the profits from selling autographed pictures and her personal items, and monthly bonuses based on the performance of the LightspeedGirls and LightspeedWorld network of sites.

Remember that if the girl doesn?t make enough money to pay her bills, she?ll quit. I think its best to ALWAYS pay them a base shooting fee (that can be adjusted over time). The commission on the site should really be more of a payment for exclusivity and for interaction with her members (responding to fan mail, keeping an online daily journal, and doing live shows). Also, paying them monthly bonuses on the overall company profits is a great way to keep multiple girls happy. Profit sharing makes them feel like owners of the company, then they are glad to appear on each other?s sites, help each other out, and recruit hot new girls into the network. Never make them compete with each other. That?s a sure fire recipe for disaster.

I tell people that I have found the ?secret formula? for keeping models happy. I call it ?Letting them walk all over me.?

Steve Lightspeed

You are always so helpful Steve.

Now you solo site owners never forget that and hopefully do some biz with him. I am sure he would not mind working out traffic deals.

Clearly.

But laugh all the way to the bank. The skanks that pull that shit are sleeping in gutters within a few years .... you can't burn EVERY bridge.

If you are launching solo girl sites and locking these girls down exclusively than you are doing nothing but wasting money. The only thing that matters is the quality of the content and that the content itself is 100% exclusive shot and the marketing and how the site is built and presented.

Even Lia 19 has at least 2 different sites of her with different names. And she's still one of the most successfull. The internet is a big place. Theres room for everyone.

We've worked with girls in the past who have quit modeling
about 10 times in a 2 year period and they won't give a shit about any contract when they choose to stop again. What would you do? Sue them?

There's nothing to get from any of these girls in any court on this planet no matter what they signed.
