If you don't have specific plans on who you want to see and what you want to do while in Vegas you'd be wasting your money at this point.

#2 - A & B
A - You don't need to spend a huge amount of time building hosted galleries. Don't try to compete with the large corporate sponsors with new custom graphics for every gallery. Come up with a nice template or two, and reuse them. Let the content be the star (aka YOU). Add a few new hosted galleries every two or three months and email your affiliates when you do so.
B - This is still a good idea even if you do have quite a few FHG's. TGP submitters can't use hosted galleries, and not all TGP owners are going to sign up for your program. I have this kind of arrangement with a number of sites like yours. It's nice to be able to submit galleries with content I know the TGP reviewer hasn't seen submitted before.

This seems to be, based on your comment, what you feel comfortable with, and the site is about YOU. Your tour should be representative of what is inside the member area. If you have hardcore content, you can show it on the tour discretely, without showing a Hustler style centerfold.

All the above aside, until you get your tour issues sorted out it's all pointless. Until you have a tour that converts well you are throwing away traffic and $$$. The advice given by others about your tour is a good start. Slick graphics and fancy Flash pages look nice, but are difficult to navigate and difficult to update.

My advice is to follow Toby's advice.

My personal feeling is that Vegas is a waste of money for most people. Many webmasters go to the shows only to say that they go the shows and that somehow makes themselves feel successful.

Toby is dead-on in his comments about the FHGs. Make sure that you provide a few here and there for lazy people like me, but provide raw content for the real builder/submitters. And as far as FHGs go, build them simple and clean. The best way to push your true amateur angle is keep a true amateur appearance. Look at http://www.sammy4u.com/ and http://www.naughtyallie.com/ Those are two very successful amateur babes who have been very smart about keeping an amateur feel in their tours. They can certainly afford new glitzy graphic filled tours, but they know their members and know what appeals to them. Your tour should reinforce the fact that you really are an amateur.

If you do have hardcore content in your members area, I think you should show a few minor hardcore examples on your tour so that potential members will know what you have without reading every word. Men are visual.

You are going to be in promoted in multiple niches so you need to touch on each of those niches in your tour. Hell, you may even decide to provide niche specific tours in the future. This is what I see: MILF - Mature - Amateur - Housewife - Busty. If you do a bunch of shoots in high heels, a guy like Toby will sell you in that niche. Stockings? Lingerie? Gangbanged my seven midgets? It's endless. Sell your site in as many ways as possible and you'll have webmasters who specialize in tons of niches jumping on you.

Enjoy the holidays, then get back to work on that tour!
