How To Attract A Bunch Of Members In One Easy Step
OK, imagine if you will that I'm a webmaster and I'm about to launch a brand new website. It hasn't got a great deal of content on it, but I want to launch it straight away because, understandably, I want to start making some money from it immediately.
What do you think is the best way for me to start attracting people and earning memberships immediately? It would be setting the membership fee at a very low level, wouldn't it? Which brings me neatly to
Camp Cutie.
This is the newest site produced by Kick Ass, a pretty big network of sites, and one of my personal favourite networks. Now this is a pretty new site that already actually has a pretty large selection of stuff already available, so a pretty sizable fee wouldn't have been THAT unforgivable. But no, there asking for the grand total of a nickel under 10 bucks every month to susbcribe to the site. That's what you call treating your members well.
I'm no porn site webmaster. I'm a lowly writer hiding in the comfort of relative anonymity, dishing out pithy remarks to almost all and sundry, all the while happy in the knowledge that paysite owners will never find me in my small flat in south-east England. So maybe I'm talking absolute nonsense. But it just seems pretty obvious to me and I can't see why more sites or networks don't do this.
Some may remark that it's easier for small or independent sites to do this. Some networks are massive and have a set fee for each of their sites which include all their other sites as bonus content. But if I'm subscribing to a female ejaculation site, then I couldn't really give much of a damn about the other niches you have available. Knock the price down on my site, dammit, you can have all the other stuff back. Thanks for the offer, but I want squirting pussies not anal sex or facial cumshots. If Kick Ass can do it, then why can't the rest of them?
Going back to Camp Cutie though, it's worth pointing out that this is a site that has the good sense to actually have good content to go with it's super low subscription fee of only $9.95, that I could literally fork out for in change that's fallen down the back of my sofa (I really must get these trouser pockets repaired). But that's usually the case actually. Razordolls for instance will set you back $6.95 every month and it's an ace little site.
It's not a coincidence, in my opinion. Webmasters that genuinely care about what their members are getting will generally go to many lengths to satisfy them. Good content and low fees are pretty good starting points. They are certainly where I would start.
