Case study
Have patience and the content will come to you!
I was essentially a lurker for almost 8 years. But I visit the site almost every day. I made maybe half a dozen posts in my first 6 years - over that kind of timescale at some point you're going to stumble over something on the internet which you know in your gut needs to be shared on OCC! And if you're visiting the site every day, reading the threads of the stuff you like best, and haven't seen it before, chances are it's new content.
But the real trick is to get a specialism or a niche. Pedro has the beach, Klondike has the nude runs, Dalquaz has the Dare to Bare teens (all original content of course), other people make a living scouring Youtube or Dailymotion or Picasweb or Rajce or a million other image and video sites on the internet for new content. Some members, I'm sure, just post pictures from the links other members post in OCC's Free Links section! That's fine, both the links and the images have value - some people like context and background, others just want to see the boobies.
I'm into Spencer Tunick, as a multiple-time participant so I usually know what is happening in advance and where to find the behind the scenes pictures before anyone else. I've posted a bit of content through that. But that kind of inside knowledge is hard to come by (and sometimes you feel a little bit duplicitous posting it). Now I'm the Winter Beach guy. I saw a series of pictures posted by someone else on OCC, of friends bathing naked. I thought they were fantastic, I didn't just save them and knock one out, I went to the original source to try and learn more about them, discovered vk.com, all the Winter Beach stuff and loads of other content that really ought to be posted here too! That's kept me busy over the last year and garnered me 5000 thanks.
All it takes is a bit of enthusiasm for a specific type of content, a little bit of effort and research and if you find a source no-one else is systematically mining, stake your claim and Be The Guy. But you also need patience, it might take you 8 years until you find it...
