Advice on new site for solo model/girl please ! |
 |
|
Hello to all ! After much reading this is my first post. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I was approached by a local stripper/dancer to create, produce, and maintain (and share in the profits) of her own personal web site. She had another person working on it but they were not motivated and/or capable of getting it to reality.
Design and content are not really the issue, but what can you tell me is the number of subscriptions/members at say, 19.95/24.95 to hit the break even point, after billing & hosting expenses ? And what is the expected growth in subscriber numbers for a quality site ?
She has some video content but I think we will reshoot it in HD, along with new photos I will include weekly updates, cam shows, and sell her underwear, etc (there seems to be a big demand for it). We will offer streaming, and DL capabilities.
She seems to think 500 members is fairly easily attainable. I'd be more realistic and be happy with 100 within 3 months, I hope I am wrong, on the conservative side ! She is very popular locally and is known on the internet somewhat.
2 other girls at the same club also inquired, but are perhaps not as popular, hence my question for a "break even point"
Gracias,
Pablo

And you'll have sound contracts drawn up specifically detailing what your responsibities are and what percentage of those profits will be directed towards you. Have you found a lawyer yet?

It will become a big issue if for some reason she doesn't continually provide updates, include those responsibilities in your contract. A paysite is only as popular as it's NEXT update..

Impossible questions to answer, I don't know what your operating costs are. Membership depends on so many different factors, including among others, marketing, traffic, interest of your content, competativeness of your product, and on and on. You'd be wise to expect the best, anticipate the worst, but at the same time have NO expectations, except that you'll have to work your ass off to get things off the ground and running, then work even harder once things are in swing...

I would be interested in hearing her rationale in acquiring 500 people willing to spend $25 to see her doing whatever it is she will be doing on her site. 500 members in what amount of time? You may find you've only attracted 5 members in a 3 month period, on the other hand you may bring in 100 members in your opening month. There is no answer to those questions, other than you're likely to get out of it what you put in...
Best of luck, make certain your ass is covered and you're entering into a business deal with someone you both like and trust. Most importantly have your contracts legally drawn up and advised proberly by an attorney, an attorney that is familiar with adult law...

Hey there... honestly, I think you're being overly optimistic. The days of 500 easy members are long since over. There is a lot of competition, and it's harder than ever to keep members in place.
Set realistic goals, and take tiny steps. 100 members is a good starting goal, but not in 3 months. Not unless you spent a LOT more on traffic than you planned to make back in sales.
Your first step is to focus on building a quality members area that can retain fans month after month. THEN, when that is built, try your luck at marketing. You should be thinking in annual plans, not 3 months, IMHO.

Yeah your right. you need to focus on building traffic to attain 100 members in 3months. honestly there is a lot of website out there competing for the same niche as the one you post on this.

Ola Pablo and welcome to YNOT!
A few questions:

You factor your subscription price here, but don't provide the operating overhead, so how can we answer your break-even point?
Do you mean your cost-to-launch? or projected first-quarter ROI?
In your break-even point, do you include the money/time she's invested so far in launching her site, or the from-here-on-in, updating and running the site?
Your growth depends on your traffic, and the quantity vs. quality balance of that traffic.
So: will you market/advertise the site yourself, or market to other webmasters to become affiliates and do it for you? Or a little of both?
Does your operating overhead include a budget for producing content for affiliates and/or buying traffic?
"Expected" growth can't really be factored; a quality source of traffic can take a couple weeks of returning bookmarkers who need to be convinced you're not 'fly by night' - at which time conversions spike.
Or you can have a deluge of "impulse buyers" who end up either upset they spent the money (and cancel) or just disappointed with the members' area.
Too many factors involved to really give an answer. Even if you laid it all out in graphic detail, you wouldn't get an answer, or an answer that was the same as someone else's 
You just have to try it; if you like it, you'll find those who like it too (if you work at it  )

Does she have web-experience to think that?
Also, does she have a coterie of stripper-clients who would join the site as soon as she launched? That might be interesting, and might be what gives her that feeling.
Just some things to mull...

A g string is a bit small to make a readable enough sign:
"See all of my pussy at: seemypussy.com"
specially when it's in motion!
Marketing wise-strippers usually do adult vids in order to become headliners. The usual adage is-10 adult video covers = headlining in strip joints. Unless and until a stripper becomes a headliner marketing of their site is the same as any other solo girl site on the net.
I'm a producer not a web master. Strippers and prostitutes are good doms as their hardness is beneficial but horrible subs or young girl types in content.
A piece of advice-get 6 months worth of updates in the can before you worry about the site. A girl can seem very serious at first but it will take 6 months before she'll make a dime and most girls will be gone on the very day you open their site. If the girl is still up for working when her site opens and you have the first 6 months of material ready-you'll probably last long enough to make a buck.
After the girl sees the money, that's when they first decide if they'll become serious. Do not take for granted that there will be content made later-make it first and then slow down the production to work on the site. You can do the post production later but you'll need 20-25 videos or photo sets to open and at 3 updates a week another 72 all shot BEFORE you start working on the site.
While you're doing that-you can figure out your business plan which you DO need to write before you open. Your biz plan will answer your questions better than anyone here.
