YNOT – “BBW” may be a bit misleading as a descriptor for performer Michelle Austin. In fact, Austin is a woman “with a little something extra.” The voluptuous transsexual has launched her first official website as part of the Grooby Network.
Austin said Michelle-Austin.com is the first BBW T-girl site within the network and one of the few online at all. The destination offers exclusive scenes and photos of Austin and her friends, along with a blog and forum.
The site pays a 50-percent recurring revenue share to affiliates.
“My site is the first of its kind, and it will only feature myself and other BBW TS women,” Austin said. “You will also find genetic BBW women in scenes with me and other TS girls.”
Network owner Steven Grooby said he’s pleased to see such a variety of content already developing within the six-month-old system.
“This is the second of our Grooby Network sites, and it’s fantastic to see the amount of work the girls are putting in to their own sites,” he said. “Michelle found the photographers and the other models and came up with all the shoots. She’s worked very closely with a designer to get the site exactly how she envisioned.
“The concept of a site for BBW and thicker transgender models was all hers,” he added. “But of course, we love to support her and show the widest range of TS content. Last month, we launched Brittany Jordan’s site, and Michelle Austin’s website compliments [Jordan’s] extremely well. We’re looking forward to promoting both these sites.”
The Grooby Network comprises a collection of independently owned and operated websites employing an infrastructure created by T-girl studio Grooby Productions. According to Grooby, the network provides everything an entrepreneur needs to establish and run a site: software including design templates, servers, billing mechanism, support, customer service, an affiliate network and the ability to release content on DVD and via video-on-demand. In return for the service, Grooby said his company takes only 20 percent of the revenue generated by each site instead of the 40-50 percent revenue share T-girls pay to other programs.
Models retain complete ownership of their products, including the website, he added.
He also said two to four more T-girl sites are preparing to launch within the network before the end of the year.
