Personally from some of the solo girls sites I've seen and what we were asked to produce I suspect the glory days of solo girl sites are long gone.

They were launched based on the success of girls who were special and with a personality which came through on camera and in their work. I'm sure a lot of the new sites that contain this and equally sure a lot do not. I see sites that are obviously thrown together with a custom shooter and suspect the shooter, model and budget did not lend itself to creating anything special.

So what has this to do with ismokeblunts post? It might be the surfer is going to a Tube site, seeing what the site offers and moving on. I've seen a few solo girl sites samplers and decided it's not that great.

This is my of what a solo girl site has to have.

The sponsor's excuse for the low offer was solo girl sites don't convert that well. Like blaming a Skoda for not performing like a Porsche.

A girl with a real personality that relates to the surfers needs in the niche she fits.
She has to be prepared to give everything to a scene and do it for real.
A shooter with the skills, budget and time to bring her personality out and develop it.
Both of them working at a pace that they can both give of their best.

Shooting 40 scenes in in 6-8 days with a budget of $500 or less a scene is not going to get you a lot of the above. We were recently asked to shoot 40 scenes, mostly solo with a few lesbian scenes. for a budget of $20,000. Every scene in a different location. This was a big sponsor. Told him to go get someone else. Later heard even the girl turned it down. So they found another girl.
