The reason some of you make no money
 

I see alot of complaining about shitty sales lately. Then when I click on links in sigs and look at content, its easy to see why. The girls are butt fucking ugly! To be clear, I am a photographer/videographer and not a webmaster, but I am also a surfer and will pay for sites alot of times. I dont know if some people think surfers will pay to see just any random chick naked and/or doing porn but Jesus, most of the girls I see posted here and on these sites are just nasty as shit. I wouldnt pay $1 to see more of them but I am sure they were really cheap and you got tons of content for $75 out of the crack whores right? If you get shitty sales and want better ones, look at the quality of your girls, and find better ones :thumbsup

crack whores rule

you broke the rules

the man speaks the truth.. :2 cents:

Quality control, nothing like looking over your sites that auto update and seeing shitty images. A critical eye definitely is required.

I promote girls that are in focus, a load of the content credited to you has been dreadfully bad and out of focus, imho :2 cents:

That was easy...

:winkwink:

Because those solo sites were a joke and made no money. I am not going to bust my ass over some site making me $100 a week. Besides, those were 3 years ago when I was lacking the skills I have now. My upcoming multi model site will look much different. Hopefully this is in good enough focus for you :thumbsup

re: the swimsuit model above, thats not everyones fantasy. she will intimidate some and seem distant and unreachable. the 'ugly girl' sites you mock will clean up those joins nicely. i'm not saying there is anything wrong with making a high quality polished product, its just not what everyone is looking for. glam is not personally my thing... the girls gotta be doing something other than touching herself or looking girly

Thats just one example and was just for who I was replying to. I will have every type of model on my site. GND, glam, alt...from Playmates/Pets to first time models. Here is a first timer example for you :)

Daddy likes.:thumbsup

Pics are high quality.

:jerkoff

Are you still on D4 drugs?

some surfers like to look at women then can actually obtain... i would be that a vast majority of the surfers that pay for adult site wouldn't stand a chance with a plastic looking model BUT, and average (can see that the store) looking chick they can relate too and picture being with

i hope to make my first sale this week!

Good quality pics are important, but not everyone likes the 'model' type of girl you are showing here.
For me, the bikini model has a very pretty face, but I'm not into fake boobs, so I wouldn't sign up to see more of her.
And there are many good quality picture/video sites already with glamour models/babes, but they don't necessarily sell better than the more 'amateur-looking' sites.
It all depends what your surfers are into.

What abut the other girl I posted? First time model, not glam and has natural boobs :)

you theory makes 0 sense and like most guys who shoot you think everyone elses stuff is junk

these style girls converted well 6 months ago even better a year ago, what happened everyone at once got new standards?

you seriously have no clue

Good modelling , mofo, hit me up for design deals at er earliset convenience ICQ 99469856

Glad it's not only me.

Not at all. There are some very talented shooters on here and around the business, but they dont complain about shitty sales. My post was meant for some who have ugly ass girls on their sites and are actually expecting people to pay for it. Just saying, they may want to look at the quality of what they are offering. Sales are much harder to come by these days and what people paid for a year ago, they arent now.

certainly NOT a crack whore

photoshop for the win

He has a point. In most niches a good looking girl outsells an average girl easily.

again a site that been shooting same quality that sees a decline now cannot blame it on models plain and simple

he has no point

Not much Photoshop there, thats pretty much how she looks. Its more like a great model, makeup artist and the right lighting :) Here is the original right from the camera.

I fucked that crack smoking cunt last night.

I have to agree with you about porn girls. The ones who fuck. These new one are not the beauties that I am use to seeing.

No, but it surely helps nowadays, when all paysites look pretty much the same. Its good to stand out with something..."no ugly girls" could be one thing.

What I found suprising is the BBW Sites. Some people like fat women? Why.

There's a lot of truth in that. I checked out your work and appreciate what you are doing. You get it. Are you going to be at the Phoenix Forum?

It says right in the image properties that the photo was run through Photoshop CS3 for the Mac. Never mind the fact that it is 600x900 72dpi.

And imho she looks very plastic and fake. I'm going to have to agree with Shimmy, as my tastes also do not run along the lines of glam. Amateur and Girlfriend content is hot right now and selling. Program owners aren't putting up sites because of the near-free content, they're putting up the sites because that is what people want to see.

A lot of guys want to see what that dirty slut who lives down the hall is doing with her boyfriend every night. They want to see the home shot photos of random people on Facebook and MySpace. Social sites have breathed a lot of life in to the girlfriend and amateur niche markets.

people still buy stuff like that anymore?

hella make up ..

The only rule I've found that holds any water when it comes to what sells is "one man's meat is another man's poison"

There's a market for everything.

One example: Amateur. It has been one of my biggest money-making niches over the last decade. Less than pro quality pics of average girls that look like they were shot by their boyfriend, or by some voyeur. Some guys like plain-looking girls. Other guys like thick chicks, others like 250+ lb whales. Some of us have made some nice money selling that stuff.

Conclusion: There IS no one type or quality of content that is better than all others

People will buy anything.

I put a clip of me eating pizza fully clothed on clips4sale it got sales.


Sabby:)

ummm, of course I ran it thru PS to RESIZE it but thats all I did. Imageshack doesnt like 4.3MB files :)

that's why they jerk off over her on the internet instead of approaching her in a club :2 cents:

while some guys come online looking for fat chicks, ugly girls, or any other random weird sub-niche that goes against the barbie doll stereotype, most guys stil at least want to see a cute girl next door type or smoking milf.

i agree with op, there is an overabundance of subpar content. seems like a lot of chicks in porn who just aren't that attractive... AT ALL...

fuck this "there's a market for everything noise". sure there is, but in general the model needs to exhibit some attractive quality, and there are a lot who are just boring, and unnattractive. add to the fact that a lot of the sub-par models are shot by sub-par photographers and camera men, and you got yourself some crap content.

there is a lot of crap content.

Exactly. You can see average girls anywhere, what dumbass PAYS to see it? You can go down to your mall or local store and see random looking average girls. Hell, you can pay one $20 and she will show you her boobs probably. Most every guy I know want to see the fantasy girl they will never get naked and/or teasing them in photos and videos and they pay for that. My friends are never jealous when I shoot some random Myspace girl, but if I have a Pet/Playmate or some porn star coming over, you bet your ass they get jealous and want to come over.

Because most of those girls are cute :2 cents:
Besides the most you see from the majority of the "girlfriend" content is some boobie flashing maybe a puss shot here and there. They are just cute young chicks flossing the fact that they are cute. If you got any of those chicks FUCKING on cam you'd have yourself a seller. At least in comparison to the other garbage you could promote.

I TOTALLY AGREE. Please, for the love of God, if your a producer, try oh try to get the shit in focus. That would be soooooo Superfab! And the 400 pixel x 300 pixel movies are tired as well :thumbsup

While that is indeed true.. if you have a solo site with a below average chick and attempt to market it as if it's Carmen Electra(read: an above average bombshell).. you will see zero results. Same can be said if you have a multi-model site and you market it as glamour/babe type stuff and the girls are below average.. again, shitty to zero results. Most people who buy in that market can obtain that level of pussy, or are married, etc. :2 cents:

If you have an ugly or below average GND chick and market her as such, your results should be good.

how many sub-par or even par models are contract pornstars?

</argument>

follow the money.... :2 cents:

glam crap sells worse than next door shit, that's why.

the argument as i understand it has nothing to do with the quality or style of the photography, but solely the sex appeal of the model.

the debate is going way off it's original line of reason here...

take some MET-ART quality models, and shoot them in amateur hardcore video, or in a cutesy gnd style as opposed to art-glam and you'd have yourself a monster of a site.. but, as the world would have it, the number of models with those looks who are willing to get dp'd, deepthroat and do hard anal, is significantly lower than the average cokewhore that is being shot as content for these niches... :2 cents:

in my opinion glam content converts poorly for affiliates, not because it doesn't convert, but because it is everywhere. it's saturated as fuck, and everyone already knows where to find the good glam content. who even needs to google that shit if they are intent on buying it? beside that fact, why even buy it? glam content is easy as fuck to find for free all over the place. that alone should speak for it's popularity...

crack whores are dirty and smelly

Some great points. after shooting 8 years going from am to glamour I would say the best seller is the blonde cutey GND. Stylish photography doesnt always sell well(depends if times are good or not) it is great for a tour design and stuff but guys prefer a variety of stuff and personally i think a cute girl in a tshirt with great skin good hair/makeup wearing jeans and a tshirt will do very well.

It has to be shot well.

If you notice how good the photography or styling it is then i think it becomes to distracting and takes away from the what your trying to jerk off to.

Being in focus and shot well should not be an issue but mandotory.

I think Mr E means before he got distracted by the guy criticising him, was that there is a lot of reguratated content out there that is over all so distractingly out of focus and lite very harshly that it is no surprise that it doesnt sell.

Glam or am it all sells like AJCat says ...depends on how flooded the market is.

A few years ago in the DVD hey day the guy that paid the most for models was Ed Powers. If a girls rate was 700 he would pay her 1500 to do her first shoot he understood the power of the fresh faced cutie before she became a "porn star"

All true, but it wasn't her picture that everyone re-posted.
She just doesn't stand out enough in that photo to make a connection with me, and I'm thinking a few others here as well.
But as others have said, there are so many guys and so many different reasons for liking a particular type of girl, I'm sure she connects with someone.
