Are you sure there is no other way you can demand free content in this thread? I'd love to hear more :-) NOT!

Yes, well Alex's site is a 'NEW PRODUCT'. He has only been around for a few months now. I would hate for him to think that he is at the 'TOP of his GAME' right now... now that would be daft. |
In reply to Message (20037.4.1.1.4) Oh dear time for my opinion! Sorry!

"A site that has no (or few) sample photos is LESS LIKELY to get MEMBERS. That is a simple fact..."
Sorry, but you have based this on what experience and what facts? A sample should be just that, something that shows what the product you are buying will be, so if a girl is wearing an outfit in a sample and someone likes that outfit, then they have good idea what is likely to happen to that outfit on a wetlook site! My experience shows that the more you give away the more praise you receive in forums etc, however, that does not increase sales. It is good to have a givaway once in a while to keep your name and remind people why they want your product. That is about maintaining a pressence, the bigger and better pressence you have the more people notice your material, however it is not a good idea to give loads away all the time week in, week out! Just boost your pressence every now and then!
"Like the lady in the grocery store who hands out free cheese or something. They want you to see that their product is WORTH IT!! I guarantee that reading a review will not convince a customer to just fork over $20. Remember, we work for our money too and we don't want to just waste it!"
Usually, a grocery store will hand out samples for new products, or if a product needs a sales boost! they do not give away their cheese every single day! That would be daft! This is what WetlookPro has done, they had a new product and they were unknown, so they gave away some pictures etc for free, so that people could get a good idea of their work and the standards of their photography etc! They want people to buy memberships, they have taken time and money to produce their work, they don't want to give it away! There are still lots of sample pics on the site and people can see what the content of each update is!
They have made people aware of them and they continue to do so by posting their update notices regularly.
They do not need or deserve to be dictated what their sample policies should be due to people getting less freebies from them than they used to!
Their work is good and speaks for itself! If anyone wants to see more of it, they should join the site, that's the idea, remember!
sorry if anyone is offended by what I just said!

By Homer - Fri 30/12/05 11:20:13 GMT Alex,
First of all, I have seen the posts where people were asking for more free samples. They were all very polite and explained the reason they want to see your work before buying a membership. Apparently you didn't understand so let me rephrase their concerns.
A site that has no (or few) sample photos is LESS LIKELY to get MEMBERS. That is a simple fact... the truth is your samples are your advertisements. Like the lady in the grocery store who hands out free cheese or something. They want you to see that their product is WORTH IT!! I guarantee that reading a review will not convince a customer to just fork over $20. Remember, we work for our money too and we don't want to just waste it!
Finally, I went on your site and I see a lot of tiny pictures with links that lead to "dead ends". I.E. the link you think is taking you to a sample gallery or picture just takes you to a page that says 'insert 2 tokens' or something. THIS IS ANNOYING!! Why not put up popups that flash and jump around? If what you intend to do is frustrate and aggrivate your potential customers then you are succeeding.
And out of all these people replying to you and giving support how many do you think just sign up with every damned website out there without question? How many joined your site?
That is all. |

By Alex - Fri 30/12/05 01:25:16 GMT Website: http://www.WetlookPro.com I'd like to reply to several people who have posted on this forum in regards to our site and the free previews that we post. They have complained to us that we don't have enough free pictures available on the site. So, let me address them with several points that come to mind:
1. Much like everybody else we have many bills that need to be paid in order to keep the site going: pool rent, model fees, outfits, server hosting fees, bandwidth fees, photographic equipment, software development, graphics, post production and so on! Someone has to pay it! So, we have to charge the fees from our members. Asking us to put all this money and effort into our project and then release it all for free is the same if we were to ask you to refuse your salaries and work for free at the job that you have right now. Would you gladly do that, or would you tell us that you have rent to pay and food to buy?
2. We have received a huge amount of positive feedback from other web site owners, photographers and fans in the wetlook community. Many of them told us that we have produced one of the best web sites out there. So, as you can see we work very hard and take our jobs very seriously, so why would you not pay us for our honest work? Our fees are very reasonable and you get a great web site to enjoy. Most members who have paid so far told us that they have enjoyed the contents of the site so much that they have decided to stay with us indefinitely and pay the fees monthly.
Here are the quotes from many many emails that we have received from members who have paid:
============================================================ Your site is awesome. One of the best wetlook sites on the net!! -- wettwolf327, 12/28/2005 ============================================================ I have just joined your site and I have to say it is by far the best! I love to see pretty ladies with wet slicked back hair and considering the number of sites around, good photos are rare. But your site is absolutely perfect! -- wethair2, 09/30/2005 ============================================================ Love the site, it has become my favorite. Isabel is just amazing!... Keep up the great work! -- froggy, 12/02/2005 ============================================================ Alas, finally someone who got it right! I love the way you make the girls dive under water!! Wet hair is just as important as the clothes. It always looks the best when it's coming up from being submerged. -- djmark, 11/11/2005 ============================================================ This is one of the better sites that I have seen yet. Good models and GREAT photography! -- sean122, 11/26/2005 ============================================================ Joined today and already enjoy your wonderful photos. The girls really seem to enjoy this! -- wambert, 09/28/2005 ============================================================ Oh God! What an outfit!... This site gets better by the day! -- froggy, 12/27/2005 ============================================================ Just joined your website. Great stuff, beautiful models, they look happy and enjoying the shoot. Ecstatic about the wet booted shots in particular. Tight wet clothing on your shapely girls looks fantastic! -- johnalees, 12/20/2005 ============================================================ Thanks for a FANTASTIC site!!! -- sneakerluvr, 12/19/2005 ============================================================ I... have... no... words!!! Naughty Isabel! :-D What an amazing set!! Her looks as she's playing with the photographer are so... WOW! Can't hardly wait to see more of the set! -- Kay, 12/26/2005 ============================================================ Have recently joined your site. The photos are extremely good in quality and variety! -- murren, 11/22/2005 ============================================================ I think this site is really great! The models are beautiful! -- royboy05, 12/4/2005 ============================================================ Just discovered your magnificent site, nothing finer than beautiful women soaking wet fully clothed...really love seeing all those excellent boots in the pool! -- wetbabes4dm, 09/26/2005 ============================================================ Just saw all your sets, even the older ones now include hires 1800x1200 resolution. Just great! Your sets are great, girl-next-door-type models, veeery good quality, I just love it :-D -- Kay, 12/26/2005 ============================================================ I like your site so much that I joined today! -- B69W5q, 09/30/2005 ============================================================ Just joined your site. The pictures are awesome! You have got some beautiful girls to work with. Thank you very much for making these available, they are some of the best on the net! -- Scott, 11/12/2005 ============================================================
So, in conclusion I'd like to say that not only our fees are reasonable and are well worth it -- but they are necessary for us to keep the site alive and produce more content.
Cheers, Alex
