What always happens after a good idea comes along is a huge caravan of companies that jump on the bandwagon and copycat everything. They do it exactly the way BangBros does and they do it without a single spark of their own identity. This is no way to run a business. These companies are relying on BangBros? ideas for their success. Why not rely on yourself for your own success? Take the time to build something of value that you came up with on your own. Put your heart and soul into it and be proud of it. Give it your own personal edge. Having one good quality site can be worth more than 40 mediocre sites ?and far more rewarding.

WORDS OF WISDOM THERE!!!!!

When we created nubiles.net we were inspired by FTV but if you look at our site it looks nothing like and is nothing at all like their site. If you look at our site compared to other multi girl sites like Karups or Atk you see that each site is very unique and different. I get tired of seeing how many rip offs of met-art there are, and I get tired of the people who have completely ripped off the layout, design, or name of my site. I'm not going to mention names because many are considered "stand up" guys here.

What is ironic is that the people who rip off sites stand to earn so much less by copying someone else's business model than if they were to create their own unique of site of value.

Hi Shap,

It's a great post. When you say to do something out of ordinary with TGPs, what do you mean by that?
Thank you.

Thank you.

Hi Webmaster2006, great question.
If you visit 100 tgps right now you'll see what i mean. Go to 10 thumb tgps and you'll see they are all almost 100% the same. Same look with a slightly different design. No personality. Same with non thumb tgps. Everything looks the same.

Then you have a very very small group of people that actually work their asses off to create something unique and useful. Perfect example is FreeOnes.com. Their site is nothing like the other sites out there. It's unique. Useful. Has personality. Gives the surfer a great reason to bookmark.

That's what i mean by different. When a surfer hits your site have it be different enough from other sites that you stand out. Add quality to that and that will give you the chance to build a brand and a powerful successful site.

Thank you for your reply. I am totally new to this business. When I look at their TGPs for me as surfer they look OK. The size as kind of small. Althogh, they are clean and easy to read and see. That is what you mean unique or the models themselves? I am just trying to learn from you. Thank you.

Great thread, here's a question
At which point did you go fully with exclusive content, and how did that affect your sales/rebills? I see that you guys started with matrix stuff, and you have great exclusive content now, somewhere I read that your traffic/income increased alot after installing an affiliate script (might be the other thread) - are these dates close to each other? (starting exclusive and bringing affiliates)

Great thread Shap and a great read. Congrats on all your success!

[YNG Prod]

Shap amazing take on a real business in the real world! I came from the mortgage business where I owned a mortgage company for 15 years and at one point I had almost 100 employees, doing business in 21 states, where customer service is number one and you help people/families recognize the "American Dream" homeownership!

Well I sold my mortgage company in May of 06 to get into this business full time and I believe there is a huge opportunity in this industry if you run it like a real business as you stated.

I believe that 2007 will be our best year yet and because of you and your advise it will be even better!

Thanks again and keep the advise coming....

...

I can not agree only with the point of view regarding the "True entrepreneurs fairly arrogant..." leaders in politics, armies, in sport also in media are fairly arrogant. Maybe should have to say, sensitive about the true entrepreneurs? Because their eyes are not fogged, not due to some regulations to keep them alive and running also they value almost any details in their interests and these things may felt arrogance also of course overreactions to the things that you maybe even never cared...


I have not got experienced in adult industry enough but I would like to add more few opposite view of yours if you do not think them just to be added to be in front of you Shap;
- No, I do not agree to not got into anything like we are saving the world or doing something extremely serious[again at least for myself].
- No, I do not agree to keep the success without a breath, relax even a party after a success.
Everything done in the life are all about pleasuring our life so why need to struggle to disregard the enjoy?
3- Regarding the adult side of this industry, I believe "natural content, anything make you feel you naturalism" are as important as the exclusiveness, clean, sharp and well make-up'ed of the contents.

At least they are my truths as someone going to get into this industry as an entrepreneur.
But I have to add more points, I appreciate your long time of successes and keeping it to higher steps and underline the must of the paid web-sites. Nothing is for free, you always pay it.
