Sure, exclusive content is ideal, but it isn't practical or realistic for most business plans.

Not all paysites are meant to be the holy grail of pornography anyway. Some are built for the exclusive purpose of pushing the consumer towards the upsell of another, better paysite. If they don't buy the upsell, well fuck 'em, you got their $30 sign-up. If they do, you pulled in $30 (which is most probably getting split with an affiliate), plus you pulled down a nice $35 PPS for yourself.

Any content can be king if you know how to employ it properly.
What amazes me is the differing arguments you get about content and sign ups. Firstly that a sale is an impulse buy, if it was an impulse how in hells name does content get saturated. Unless the guy has the same impulse every day.

Then there's the site were they think the fact that it's the only scene of this girl on that sofa in that underwear makes it exclusive. There are some very good shooters here in Czech earning a good living shooting "Exclusive". We've shot the girls before them and the locations. The poses are the same, so where is it exclusive?

For me exclusive is when the content has a twist to it that others sites do not always have, like Bang Bus. but in the mail porn is porn.

As for the rest of the post, you can always "Over Persuade" someone. But what good does that do us as an industry? If I sold you a set for $30 which was not what you wanted, would you be happy to spend another $30?
