A surfers rant...

- I dont care about your fancy design, high end designs makes me cautous. So does bright flashy things. Are you a big company? Why all the hype... just sell me on your content.
- I want to see niche specific content. If I like asian handjobs and your asian handjob site displays content that actually has asian handjobs and your tour flows well and entices me to join (but not too much)...I might join.
- I want to join your asian site but I dont wanna see site access to 30 of your other websites in different niches on the join page. Why dont you suprise me after I join up?, instead of letting me know on the join page? It makes me think the asian sites members area is very small.
- I want to see what I am purchasing, Why not make your members area transparent?. Why would I buy something sight unseen cept for the tour or maybe a clip I saw on the hun?
- Recuring billing makes me nervous. I want to join, jerk and dont want to double check to see that my card wont be charged again. If I want I will rejoin at my convienence.
- I dont have a lot of money and 24.95 if too much for me psycologically, 19.95 is appropriate.
- I want to see unique content and not the same stuff on a lot of sites. How many times can I see the same porn stars? I need fresh faces. If I see bree olson or Gianna micheals on a tour I pretty much will click the close button (my own personal preference here he he)

My two cents
Sorry you're a surfer and member so your opinion does not count. Now if you were an affiliate everyone here would be licking your balls. </sarcasm>

And the above post and my reply tells you why so many members are not buying over and over. We built it to suit ourselves and not the customer. The customer has now decided a Tube site is better value than most paysites. You can't or won't close Tube sites, so you have one option. Make a paysite so much better those who will pay will join. Leave those who won't burning the Tubes BW.
