It is a mix of quality and quantity. Sorry.

If you think you are going to make money in this market, industry, or economy doing artsy fartsy HD and releasing 1-2 scenes a week. You're mistaken.

Sure. You can get some inital sign ups. But they are not going to stay members. You are competing with the tube site models where every day they get new content, and lots of it.

You need to offer at minimum 5 days a week updates, if not every day. Your quality needs to be a minimum of a 6-7 on the 1-10 scale. You need to be able to crank out the content, or buy it, with enough margin left over to stay in business.

Most can't do this.

At the end of the day you are in the online game to MAKE FUCKING MONEY. Not pretty pictures. Yes. You want to have a quality product. But you are in this to make a living. Not win the Paul Markham picture award.

Find a niche that sells. Shoot at a quality you can maximize your margins. Then crank it out like a mofo so you can stay competitive or kill your competition with sheer volume in udpates.
