So here's an idea for paysites. Don't flame it without thinking, ask yourself "How can I make it work?".

We know multi girl sites work if done right. Same goes for Solo Girl sites if the girl is right and works it.

The problem with Multi Girl sites is the member has little to hook onto, it's often just a pile of scenes.

The problem with Solo Girl sites is a limited audience, the surfer has to like this girl or he doesn't bother and even when he does like her, attention span makes him bored faster than Multi Girl sites. Plus tying your site into one porn model isn't always the brightest move. She can be a sweetheart, more likely she'll turn into a pain in the ass the moment she gets a new boyfriend.

So combine the benefits of both.

It will need a couple of decent shooters. Who can find girls ideally or got very good contacts with agents.

Do castings if at all possible, promise the girls work on the casting. Shoot a test scene of them, to see how good they are.

Shoot a girl who is good on her casting for a day, in a progression of scenes. Not the formula we have today of rushing from room to room to get in the required length of video and number of stills. Make the scenes run together, can be a story line or not. It has to present more than a girl on a sofa.

You now have 2 or 3 scenes of the girl solo of BG or GG. From her first day.

She's not to be the usual dumb porn star on auto pilot trotting out the same phrases, the scenes are her and her scenes. If she works well book her again, very well again and again. Those you're not sure of, let members vote on her not the scene.

Let the good girls float to the top, more content of them, more about them and inter action with members. Scenes are in a progression and not limited to the normal porn on a bed/sofa scenes.

A good way to bring it across is like I brought Sandra across in the scene I did for Manwin.

Each girl will be different, try to get the girls BTS and as real as possible. Let them talk in their own words. Let their character come out. This is why it's good to do castings and tests. Some girls simply don't have what it takes. They get 1-2 scenes and that's it, just add ons to the site.

The site is really about the top girls. The number of them is governed not by some "Web" guy who thinks 5 or 10 would be the right number. It's by the number of girls who can carry the load.

If it's American girls and they all live in different States, then this part will only work a few times a year. Mass orgy with all the featured girls or most, in the scene. Couple of shooters capturing the action.

The site can have solo, GG and BG in it. If a girl only does solo she will have to be top drawer, also GG a little less, BG would be good or the site can be in 1 or 2 or 3 strengths. Obviously it has to stay within it's niche and style, like all sites.

If membership and retention is as good as some tell me it is with online sites, then getting the girls to do live webcam is no problem. It only needs a decent membership. Then the site offers, web cam, chat, live shows.

Promotion wold be on a different level. soft for Youtube, 1 or 10 girls in a clip. shows with the girls turning up, might get some TV coverage at these. And of course all the normal promoting.

Benefits are obvious, still a "featured girl" site, like solo. Yet not limiting to one girl. The girls who don't make it are the ones stacked up like a normal site. If one girl decides to quit, who cares the site still has lots of others. Girls are in control

What it needs is decent shooters and directors who can get the girls to reveal themselves like a solo site girl should. Pick the right girls on a casting and shot her well. Shouldn't cost much more than a site today does.

Glen is right, some do like up market. All we have to do is present it. Up Market in porn isn't the definition of the video. It's the porn in the content.

If we only sell impulse buy today, we're stuck. Impulse in impulse out. Like a top class restaurant we need to make surfer swant to buy and want to stay. Loading another cloned scene isn't good enough 2011. That's the fast food business.
