In all seriousness - years ago I recall a sage bit of advice from a fellow bondage photographer (Lorelei of BedroomBondage.com) who said her idea was to make the paying member feel as if they were 'one of the family' by giving them glimpses 'behind the curtain' (like a backstage pass at a concert) - making them feel like an insider to the website experience. She found it helped increase member loyalty with recurring signups.

Another method is figuring out how to have a 'cliff-hanger' at the end of an update, something that leaves the member wondering what will happen during the next update - much like episodic TV shows. Perhaps somewhat difficult to do in the adult venue, especially if you're primarily working with photos and no video - but with some creative thought...it can be done - especially if you're working with an ongoing storyboard concept (i.e. - a fantasy abduction/kidnapping story in the BDSM niche).
