using survey monkey to get to know those that regularly sign in is important. Keep the survey simple and have a friend or two take and be sure it's about a minute or so (no more than two). Give more weight to replies from profitable clients.
Something else I've noticed is that when I see a photo or video of a woman's boob's hanging I stop and take a second look. Would love to see more posing where the boob's are swinging back and forth. They don't have to be big; even A's have a swing to them. Anyone else like that?
better quality video (ie higher bit rate I think; does the video look as good as if you burned the raw to DVD and played it back?) is bandwidth an issue?

Maybe only young naive woman will appear on your site. I would prefer mid 20's and up personally. I couldn't tell you where to find them.

tags_models?tag=unshaved-pussy
I take the above tag to mean that the hair is natural and maybe trimmed for a bikini (full not those micros) Yet many of the unshaved seemed to have been shaved. Certainly not natural.

Must have missed the fourth one:
Ashley & Charlie's 3rd Shoot 2/7/13; Adriana's 2nd Shoot 2/6/13; Charlee's 1st Shoot 2/2/13
was it a bonus that isn't labeled?

i appreciate the advice, but i just see no point in taking a survey when what i am doing is a constantly growing success and i never claimed to shoot women of all ages in the first place. if you do a basic google search, you will see that younger models are by a wide margin the most popular genre on the net. also, in the "about us" section i clearly lay out what i do. this includes an age range. i am not against shooting an older woman here and there...but if that is what you really want, there are many sites that specialize in them. i just don't. "only young naive women will appear on your site" this looks to me like a bit of a pot shot. it's not hard to figure out that there aren't a whole lot of women out there looking to start modeling at age 30 and older lol. i specialize in first timers. always have. most first-timers are going to be 18 to 24. that's just how it is. i really don't think the tags about shaved or not shaved are a huge part of the site description. i have the "about us" section, the previews the descriptions and the caps. you are the first person to complain about the tags, so i don't think i will look into putting revamp work into them...tags are pretty general in most cases. not so much detailed. have you ever thought about trying some recruiting? maybe you could start a thread with older women in it? you might find out that older women aren't as plentiful in the amateur adult industry. especially if you recruit true first-timers. let me know. i'm not against having another sister-site

yes, the other one was the ally post on jan 4. this was in the bonus section per ally's request. she doesn't want general traffic on the site to see her adult stuff. i believe i mentioned this in my previous post?

"have you ever thought about trying some recruiting? maybe you could start a thread with older women in it? you might find out that older women aren't as plentiful in the amateur adult industry. especially if you recruit true first-timers. let me know. i'm not against having another sister-site"
As a matter of fact I have. I even jokingly mentioned it once to my wife. She made it clear that was out of the question. I happen to know some married women who give their husbands Boudoir photo's taken at local photo studios. Of course the only photo's they showed us was the flattering implied nudity. Amazing what a photographer can do with a stay at home mom you wouldn't look twice at on the street. Before you ask my wife has refused to do a Boudoir shot.
I would have thought in this economy more women would have been answering your ads; although probably disappointed because they all think taking off their clothes is worth a lot of money. The few women I know who even gave a price (3) are in their thirties and it's ridiculously high.

you are absolutely right. one of the hardest things about recruiting is women thinking they should be paid what jenna jameson should be paid..or a playboy model. i have to deal with this so much it makes me want to pull my hair out.

i have an idea.. maybe ask your wife if you can just recruit. then send them to me and i will do the rest. i can pay you referral fees lol.

LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It took me minutes to stop laughing out loud.
One) I'm on the other side of the country. I trust you don't pay up front for travel for first time models (who probably cancel at the last minute on a regular bias and it takes more than one photo/video schedule before they show up).
Two) I assume you have to flirt first with a non-model before talking about modeling
I would get slapped first and warned if I started flirting with a woman. Second time either she try to beat me up or start talking with a lawyer. She gets upset when I get too friendly with the mom's at school. 4/5 days a week I pick my daughter up from school; naturally taking to mom's (many under 30; I'm an OLD dad, got married late in life); setting up playdates, etc...

Young amateur models is what you started I like the genre. Maybe when you have a staff you can start a new niche site for older women.

I love the new amateur thing. Tired and tried fake porn stars. meh. One of my fav porn sites is casting couch. He claims he tricks them but I dont think he does. Thats not what I like about the site. I like the newness of the faces and the amateur nature of them.

some sites claim amateur and then show bree olsen and brandy talore. Yes we of the adult community are stupid.


Any news or updates from sarah or ally? (poor horse beaten again : P)

[mal]

Came across the video she made for me.

Sarah. Where she told me to hurry the f up.

omg the woman exudes sexuality. Shes amazing. Whats her cam name these days?

[occ9]

casting couch is a legit adult site.
He just does a good job of getting them before while they are new to the industry.
Because they are not first timers I don't really care for it. While I was mis-lead and thought it was first timers it was a great fantasy. Note that often the name is different but the woman is the same (ie alias)
With Step1 I haven't seen his woman elsewhere.

i tried to get more from sara, but she says my site is too popular now and she doesn't want to keep doing stuff when she knows she will end up getting recognized by people she knows. i check in with her every once in a while, but i can honestly say that she will not be doing any more footage. i believe she is still doing cam though. i haven't actually checked in quite a while. she goes by summerk now i think and she was on myfreecams last i checked. and again, ally is off the map forever. she will never do shoots again. i truly have the holy grail of her footage. the only time she contacts me is to complain that she gets recognized again :/ the last time i talked to her was when i decided to only put her adult stuff in the bonus section. after i post the BJ stuff, that is it. no more of her :/ this will be posted some time in march. however, maybe this will make you guys feel better... this week's update is serenity doing girl on girl footage for those of you who have memberships that get you personalized shout-outs and access to the rest of the shout outs (99.00 membership) the next shout out will be from charlee and it will be explicit/adult content so you'll be seeing the goods before the regular members. oh!!! i also have some other good news. kimberly moved back to my home state. and better yet, she now lives 7 miles away!! i thought i lost her forever, but her husband got a job back here so i will be doing a full adult shoot with her soon that includes her new fitness body with boob implants. i'll have her do a unique adult shout out as well.

almost all of them will never be seen doing video elsewhere. so far only one of them has gone on to shoot adult for another site. like i have always said, when i recruit these girls they are almost all not even interested in modeling and never thought about it until i recruit them. some of them have done a few photo shoots here and there, but the majority of them have only done shoots with me or have only done explicit and adult with me. i specifically don't recruit from adult model networking sites, even if the model has no experience because i know those girls will be on 10 other sites within a month. the other thing that sets me apart is that i give their REAL background and how i found them. the other "amateur" sites create stories that they know people fantasize about.

and yeah, i have to admit that i flirt with a lot of them, but it's only because they are sexy. it's instinct! lol
