However, need to point out, we don't shoot content at all. These days about 90% of our content is user submissions and we typically do not accept "studio" amateur content. We have a couple "producers" that turn in scenes if and when we need something specific for a dvd title or for cable/sat, but everything else is pretty much swinger home video type stuff, tripods or handheld, the real deal amateur.
These days I get hit up almost daily by "producers" saying they can shoot "amateur" scenes for us and I take one look at their samples and I think many here would say it is great content but I know it won't work for us at all. If there is a cameraman then most of our audience will call bullshit on it being amateur, unless it is obviously the hubby or whatever and gets in on the action too.
We do buy "filler content" that is pro-am but we have to be very clear with the members what it is or they get pissed.

Ah ok, user submitted mostly. Well even MORE kudos to you then because that means your eye for choosing REAL "amateur" content is stellar.
Funny, when I was filming my own (totally shitty, poorly lit and shaky cam) scenes I was killing it. LOL I would do it again but I just don't want my five inches of fun on the Internet anymore. :D

To me OnlyTease sounds like 'that's all she does' and it weakens the fantasy.
Just my 2cents (offered in a very constructive way so please don't go psycho in your reply as I'm actually trying to be helpful).

EXCELLENT point! (And I have OnlyTease.com in my Members Area so I'm an affiliate of theirs.) This is what I mean when I say "tell a good story and the content almost doesn't matter." If the content is presented in a way that communicates what the surfer expects (and is hoping for) then you have a much better chance of selling to that person. So names/branding is perhaps THE most important aspect of story telling. It's where everything flows from.
Give me a good domain name and a coherant storyline and I feel I can sell anything.
