What type of content do you use, purchased, sponsor, exclusive or combination?

No way. A lot do but not all. Otherwise we would all be shooting exclusive.

Non Exclusive for us and a lot of paysites is a profitable business, but you have to get it right. New stuff all the time and good stuff as well, because the business model is built on getting lots of regular clients buying to give to members at a rate exclusive cannot match.

1 exclusive solo girl set/video = $400
1 non 1 exclusive solo girl set/video = $50

In fact if you buy regular it could get a bit cheaper. But not too much or it defeats the object.

So the non exclusive can be delivered up at a rate of 8 times for the same money. Assuming it fits the niche do you think a member is going to give a shit if it's exclusive or not? For our paysite we buy in from 2-3 suppliers brand new content, the surfer does not know the difference.

The cry that non exclusive is saturated is one of the biggest myths on the Adult Net. Do you think Exclusive could be bought for the price of 8 sales if it was saturated, it has to sell to get saturated.

That's one thing many webmasters seem to get confused. Since we sit here viewing porn all day, we somehow think that the surfers do too. There's this mindset that if we have seen the set of content already, so has the surfer. Absolute rubbish. 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?
