I myself went with a "pay site" for a number of reasons.
Although I do sell videos now, it was a "trial and error" idea. I maintain another page and this was more of a "test" or otherwise sticking my neck out to test the waters. In my case, I am VERY small and surely don't make a living off this. True, it helps pay some bills but it's not a living. In my case, the girls don't do this for free. It grew from working for my other page and interest into "Would you like to try this" and the girls agreed. I pay them a percentage of all video sales before expenses plus thier time for do the shoots.
Server space cost ( althought not expensive ) and with some of my sets running over 100 photos, it can eat up space quick. Before I reduce the physical size, the photos I have are over 500k ea. with high resolution.
I do agree with the previous post.. Supply and demand. In my case, I enjoy it, the girls enjoy it and it supplies a need. Many other sites provide classy, dressy or costume sets where I felt there was a need for more "jeans and T-shirt" kinda shoots. That is what I have stayed mostly with although I feel the change is coming on to add to my original theme.
I appreciate the support I have received and as the membership builds, I have tried to add models, add more sets and more frequent updates. Some sell 100's of each video released where I sell dozens. I for one couldn't afford to pay the girls and to provide sets (Which end up scattered across the net anyway) without Memberships and also, I could hardly afford to produce videos with the membership base to hepl supplement the Video cost.

In reply to Message (2663) The future of Wetlook sites
By RM - Mon 10/03/03 11:41:03 GMT It would seem that most commercial wetlook sites that come along are now are membership oriented as opposed to open to all for the purpose of selling videos. I presume that the membership sites don't sell videos or they would be doing themselves a disservice by restricting their market. Are the economics drastically different? |
