Hi Leon,
IMHO you should contact the new wetlook sites (geilbabes and the new paysite by Erik Elsas) and ask them if it gives them some money. But doing that keep in mind that, they have been up less then a month, so even if they got a lot of money in the beginning it may get much worse.
Poin two is that if you use the easiest paysite selling companies (like Paypel, CCBill), you will lose customers (as far as vidoes are concerned) from many contries (all but the western ones - cause in some the systems don't work, in others few have CCs), but I don't know if you get orders (and how many) from out of the EU and USA. A proboble solution would be Verotel (CCs work really everywhere and in many countires they give alternatives - used by the mentioned two new sites), but they are a bit expensive as I've heard, so you must add up everything very carefully before making a decision.
Point three would be the respect. With your free material, you are concidered by many the "King of Wetlook". No paysite owners can say that about themselves (well maybe except MK - but he's been in the business for years and Nigel - but he gave us this forum). People from Styx, CrazyGirls, WetNet, Eromaxx etc. may be admired by wetlook users, but not that much.
Point four. Another alternative would be a semi-pay site. Free section and... a section which you can view, when you have bought a video (like you get a password with the video). Maybe this could work?
Hope my observations helped a little :-)

In reply to Message (6335) I am about to make a big decision!
By leonmoomin - leonmoomin@ntlworld.com Fri 10/10/03 22:00:17 GMT Website: www.madfountains.com/fullyclothed I currently have enough hi-res pictures to start a pay site with regular updates!
The problem is, I am a great believer in keeping my pictures free! If they are free, everyone gets to see them.
So my choices are:
1. Start a paysite and put all my new pictures and some clips in there, updating every 2 weeks!
2. Keep the pictures free and update "Fully Clothed" every two weeks with FREE hi-res pictures! The idea of which being that LOADS of people are drawn to this site regularly and wamtec and I sell LOADS of videos, I would also wish to have loads and loads of feedback.
These are two choices I have, I want some very honest opinions here! No screwing around!
I am sure that everyone will say free pictures, but do you really think it will improve our sales enough that it would make the same cash as a paysite?
