digifan,

>>>The trouble with Thailand is that it is illegal to take nude pictures... So even if you can find a girl willing to do so, most won't provide an ID, because that's registered proof of her involvement. <<<

Yeah- I know. And have wondered about that when I saw their Bangkok stuff. I did read there FAQ and compliance. The guy (David) seems to really have it together. Though, I fail to understand why he has empty categories when you browse categories. <shrug>

I really like when content providers let ya buy individual pics.

I plan to take polls and let my users decide what what sets they's want to see most.

>>>Funny that the perceived sex capital of the world outlaws any kind of pornography and even turned Britney Spears away at the airport for her provocativeness in her videos...and that was a couple years ago, before she got on the slut kick.<<<

The written law is one thing in SE Asia, who you know and give kick backs to is the reality. I recall reading in Bangkok Post that a survey of foreign companies was taken and Thailand came in at #2 for most corrupt country to do business in.

"Oddly", helmet check points are set up at the end of the month and fines are paid to cops, but ya don't see much documentation during the fines.

It is a very sharp double edged sword though...that can cut ya good. I'm engaged to a Thai woman and cannot WAIT to get back there.

>>>Another great photographer is Ashley (see the button in my sig) who runs a pay site and a content shop and she has some great looking Asian models but in the goth category, see
http://www.redroommedia.com/masuimimax/mas010.html
Masuimi Max. Yummy pics....
She won't credit her affiliates recommending her store, only her pay site but her sets rock.<<<

OH. I know. redroom has been in my fav's a while. Masuimi is really really hot *and* interesting.

I plan to put her in my "Amazon Queen" contest poll to mix up the typical but lovely Aria G, Veronika Z, Brianna B, etc...glam Queens.

>>You got a great taste, I am a fan of HQ Asian glamour photography myself<<

Thanks. I am banking on that for the success of my site. Can quality overcome quantity? We'll see. I'll be combing the far reaches of content providers to find the least saturated pics of the super stars.

Really, my target audience is me. Have been pulling images and movies offf usenet for YEARS. News servers from ISP's are starting to suck a lot and paid servers are great...

But- if one is rather picky ya keep maybe 5% of all the stuff downloaded. The amateur picks are the worst. People think they need 200+ pics in a set. In rare cases where ya have a REAL hard on for a chick maybe you'd keep a lot.

Overall, though- I'd rather have 10 of the *best shots* displayed from a set of 60 and let folks download a ZIP/RAR of the full set.

People are getting higher resolution monitors/laptops and the pics of usenet are just too friggin' small. I think if I toss out hi-res quality content and provide links to pay sites that:

1) Never circle jerk you
2) Have no pop-ups
3) Have top content
4) Are fairly easy to navigate
5) And generally are in line with my tatses

...people will take the plunge.

Being a free site (initially) I can't go nuts on content. Strategy is to dangle out the cream of the crop and build up a solid user base/traffic/community...for a good while. Listen to the users. Take lots of polls. I saw Suze.net had a poll for visitors last night to see what the lurkers wanted from her site. Smart.

I wil *contently* ask for ratings on photo sets and the sites I link to to weed out the bad.

As traffic builds (hopefully), the more feedback I get- the more clear what content I'd need to provide to a paid area. I'd probably go with as many custom shoots as possible.

Hell, my users will actually design the shoots because I'll get very granular in asking what they want. Suze's site asked good question like what positions are good, if they preferred Porn stars, how we like to see a woman get off, and so on.

Sorry to ramble but as I learned more and more from reading here- jumpin' to links to articles and so forth it just became more and more clear what my goal/business plan was to become.

Think I nailed it down. Starting graphics process now and entrance page design.

THE BIGGEST bitch will be picking my initial content. I have too many good options now, which is a good thing. Couldn't sleep last night as things just clicked....will probably work till burn out then step back from the adult site a day or two.

Hey- I just rambled some more.

Sorry.
