seeking biz advice

[jt420]

Hi guys, I need some advice and I know that even at gfy biz threads get a response once in a while.

When I first started getting into adult webmastering I worked off and on for a handful of review sites as an author. In the past I have done a good deal of contract work doing text for people's sites such as blogs, link lists, review networks, etc. Right now I am at point where I want to start focusing on selling premade reviews of premium pages for people to use to fill review sites, blogs, or whatever their hearts desire.

This is where I come to an issue... In the past I have had great clients but also I have had many people short change me for work I have done for them. Thats why I am moving towards selling the reviews as premade material instead of cusom orders so the package can be sold at once and there won't be worries of deadlines and payment issues.

Now my questions to you guys, would you use such a service if their was sites being reviewed you promoted?

Would you want the material to be exclusive or would you mind if it was sold as semi exclusive material at a cheaper rate among say 3 webmasters?

I think I am going to be sticking to just exclusive material from the looks of it. I am just testing the waters first to see what the response would be for such a service.

Just trying to get opinions and advice being taking the next steps. Thanks gfyers

in general it's not good idea to structure your business based on board replies. Offer both if you ask me and you'll see in the long run pros and cons.

Thanks for the input, its always needed and respected. By no means would I base this venture on board replies alone. I have worked selling my text work for years to companies so I have some idea of what to expect. I figure by going to the boards I will at the very least get in touch with the type of people I will want to be doing business with and hopefully brain storm with some interesting characters like yourself.

Ok, I can't lie about it.... that was my plan all along.
Get some advice and go in the complete opposite direction as far off as possible.

then you are on the right track

Giving a bump for some late night input. Maybe someone else has an opinion to pitch in.

Well I am testing things out now by selling some reviews in the sellers forum.
You can see prices here and future inventory as I build up exclusive reviews.

I can subscribe to this, 99% of GFY have no idea what they're talking about, especially not when it comes to YOUR line of work, yet they always like throwing in their 2c.

Thanks for your input, to be honest your were of the first people that has mentioned they would actually use semi-exclusive material. Seems like most people want the unique content for seo purposes which is what I will focus on for now.
