So you're defending someone's lack of respect for a veteran grave as just "pushing the envelope'?

He's definitely better than run of the mill. He does great NN tease work.

JP-pornshooter 08-12-2013 12:04 PM

i didnt say he was a photographer for digital desire, just that he worked for them.
think he did mostly computer work, web related...

his style is really nice, and i have never seen him hit on the models, but he will ask if they mind shooting non nude with him and i think for the most part the girls dig it.
definitively potential but he doesnt like hardcore styles - soft nude i think is where he is comfortable.

but i guess hes clever, hes collecting a big growing paid memberbase and will bank out on another occasion.
and why not , talent should be rewarded...good luck to him

I don't know how well the site would sell at $30/month for what is being offered. I think it does good now because the price is more than fair.

He's got the right price point. It's funny how over-priced so many adult sites are. More companies would make a killing if they switched to something more like what this guy is doing.

$20/30/40 a month for a subscription to an adult site? LOL It's just so absurd.

Yes its a bit absurd but youre wrong about the first part. Most paysite owners have tried both ways. There is a reason why its remained 20-40

It's sad to see an entire industry almost work together to actually try and narrow their customer base.

If you were to go to any other industry, they'd be sitting there thinking "How can we make our product cheaper, and get it into the hands of more people". Then you'd go over to adult and you'd see a paysite owner trying to figure out how high he could possibly price his site, and coming up with ways that are essentially narrowing the customer base.

Very, very sad... But hey, whatever you need to say to convince yourself to keep your 20 year old pricing structure.

You're incorrect. Cut your price in half and you almost have to triple your sales/subscriber base just to make up the difference in revenue after configuring processing and other support related expenses, that is not even counting the additional cost of acquiring more members.

The $10 model has been tried and tried and tried again. It disappears quickly for a reason.

someone had another photo shoot with that unbelievable blonde model!!!

The $10 model has been tried and tried and tried again. It disappears quickly for a reason.

We had a client who wanted to price their iPad app at $20. Tried to convince them many times that it just wouldn't work, that they wouldn't make any sales. They wanted it at $20 though. They spent close to a year on the app store with little to no sales. Finally, after this time I was able to convince them to try a lower price. They wanted to do $15, or $10 - but I insisted they bring it down to $3-5. They did, and changed the price to $5. They made more sales the following month than they had in the entirety of the app being on the app store.

Whats funny is there is a gold rush with mobile and web right now. Every day mobile technology becomes cheaper, and mobile phones get into the hands of more and more people around the globe. The same goes for internet connections, and computers. It is absolutely incredible the sheer amount of people and data that is being added to the internet each day. Companies are falling head over heels trying to snatch up the emerging markets. Go to any big conference (in mainstream) and it's always a main focus. Yet again, you go to adult and it's like everyone is doing the exact opposite of what is understood and done in other industries. It is truly incredible to see the backwards ass methodologies used and spoken about in this industry.

GALLERY NOTES
Karla Meyers was asked to bring a prop to her shoot that told something of her personality. She brought this camera, which was perfect since I had planned to take her to the picturesque cemetery that you see here. I know that I risk heavy criticism for shooting somewhat provocative photos at such a serious place and on such a serious day. However, look around on this holiday when we are asked to remember those who died fighting our wars. Do you observe the majority of us Americans being humble and serious or do we gather and indulge like it was any other holiday? I'm off now to enjoy big Memorial Day savings at Walmart. Be well.
seems rather respectful

Anyone who compares a gay-boy tease site with hardcore porn price points is delusional, nutters or spends too much time with mommy.

After looking at the website at hand's traffic I hope they have strong DMCA enforcement in India. :upsidedow

The site is not bad its just boring and a 5 on the 1-10 scale. For me.

I like to see naked girls.

Mormons pay good money for this stuff, Zishy isn't banned in the Morman Internet filters.


I suspect a lot of older people who didn't grow up with porn on tap will also still enjoy these type of images. I doubt the new generations will understand the point of them.

For crying out loud, how could you think that photo of all the pics on that huge tour is one of the best pics? Not only is the photographer and his flash evident in the reflection not once but twice which is amateurish as hell, but the model looks sad or annoyed not to mention super pale. She looks way better in the rear view in the reflection.

But this is a softcore site (basically non nude), this site would have been great 10 years ago.

And not in the same sense solo girl sites aren't the same as they were 10 years ago, the sales of solo girl sites has decreased but if you are really good at what you do, they make very good money

Non nude on the other hand, not only is it not what people want these days, there is no affiliates to push non nude content.

The only reason this site is up is because he had all this content shot because he enjoys working with women and being a photographer and it doens't cost alot because they aren't doing anything risque. So there isn't much reason not to launch it and make the few bucks on it. But this is site will be extremely small and even with the best photographer and best marketing, has an extremely low ceiling when it comes to potential earnings.

Even the mightiest in non nude are realizing this, the ones who have built their non nude member base at a time when it was easy and have a long hill to go down before they consider closing up. So for one to build one now makes no sense to me. I surely wouldn't continue shooting for it. Time is money and i rather spend my time and put my skills towards nude content that has the potential to obtain than a couple hundred members.

There is nobody in adult who is creating non nude content that isn't extremely raunchy (toys, very graphic shots, etc) and full of interaction, webcam shows, etc (solo girl sites) ... and IMO, those programs are even leaning more towards nude now

If its true and the Zishy guy is an ex photographer for digital desire and enjoys shooting models. There is alot of potential for him, very surprised hes shooting a very small time non nude tease site. Hopefully hes got fully nude projects coming in the future

And regarding his traffic sites, that isn't monthly fluctuation. Thats affiliates getting on board. Pushing some traffic with all the new promo galleries. Members checking it out and leaving. Every website gets that spike at the beginning (whether its a failed project or not), as long as YDG, BFTM and a couple others get on board, which they did.. That site will not stay within Alexa's radar after a couple more months. Feel free to quote me

So your point is that the fact that the US traffic for Zishy is going up up up is that it's all coming from shit sources and countries?

He's making sales.

Captain Kawaii 02-06-2014 10:24 AM

NO, point is he's being used as a free/near free photo library. When I checked awhile ago it was all Indian forums. Good for him if he's making sales.

Your argument is thoroughly debunked as false so all you can do is lash out with rage?

A site with all hot women is a site for twinks??? Yea like anyone would ever agree with that.

You have only proven one thing in this thread: You are a closet homosexual lashing out in the only way you know how - homophobic rage.

Mutt 02-06-2014 12:36 PM

I like the site, glad to see the Alexa shows he's having some success. His galleries are hosted on the tour so right from that comes a major amount of his traffic, being a multi model site versus 4 solo sites will attract more traffic. It is more compelling content than most porn photography so I'm not surprised. I don't see him making a lot of money, enough though maybe for a young single guy who enjoys doing what he does.

I asked him to shoot for me, he wasn't interested.

Slutboat 02-06-2014 07:35 PM

Bump for Pseudonymous to reply (or did he already as Captain Kawaii...)

would be really nice for once to see someone on in this place just step up, be a man, and admit he was wrong.

Pseudonymous 03-12-2014 07:41 AM

LOL taking one little thing i said about the site and being right about that does not make you correct about the main reason for the debate. I was wrong about him being off alexa's radar, thats about it. But that still doesn't make you right about the success of the website.

It is a free site, you are comparing the site to paysite tours. Paysite tours are the last stop before signing up.

If you take into account the amount of paying subscribers on his free website, it wouldnt appear as much of a success as you believe. I can launch a tgp that would get that much traffic in 24 hours

Not only that, his price of membership is 1/10th of a standard paysite so he would need 10x as many subscribers.

If you think this is a long term success, you are mistaken, this is a hobby of his and hes making a bit of extra cash. Comparing them to 400-500 (at $30 a pop) memberbase paysites is ridiculous.

You are suggesting i have a fake nick on gfy? LOL i dont even know why you would bring that up considering you log out of adendreams and log in to this account everytime you respond to this thread

I mean its great we have amateur photographers getting involved in the forum but debating marketing and paysites when you've never done both is rather silly. No?

Pseudonymous 03-12-2014 07:59 AM

Even in dead niches, if you shoot enough of it and offer it for free, you are still going to get traffic. Especially when its great content for sharing on boards (full of younger people who dont buy). Its a poor business model of choice unless its a hobby which he has admitted to it being and doesn't expect to make much from it.

arock10 03-12-2014 08:17 AM

Zishys content is great but he needs to turn over the marketing (like price points) to someone who knows wtf they are doing. His prejoin page is just a login screen with no other details

Photographers need to stop trying to run websites.

MaxCandy 03-12-2014 08:51 AM

all praise him, tongue firmly planted in cheek.

Supz 03-12-2014 09:18 AM

To bad his main page scrolls down and you can never click the 'Webmaster Login' link. Its not hard to find in google but it still makes no sense putting a clickable link on the bottom of a never ending scroll.

TheDA 03-12-2014 09:25 AM

I don't see anything particularly special about it. Its good but nothing special.
