there's still market for normal artistic nude sites?

[rei1974]

Was wondering this... I see most new sites are gearing towards the hardcore genre. I've got nothing against it of course, but was wondering if there is still market / room for normal playboy/met-art/mc styles of sites? people still like to pay to see just a single naked girl without any dilgo or big cock guys?

I know that such sites exist, but I'm wondering if they're successful as the "more hardcore" ones.

I read somewhere that met-art has one of the largest memberships around.

With the right traffic well done erotic nudes do sell.

I would think so, not everybody likes to see their fantasy being penetrated by another man

Thats what I thought, A market for people that dont want hardcore.. I focused a blog on that, its my worse sales blogs lol.. find it very hard to convert, even worse then teen

[rei1974]

Yeah exactly, I made a blog that consist of several posts to met-art, over 500 uniques sent, 0 sales, is very bad ratio, no?

There are so many softcore sites that do VERY well. It's definitely not dead, lots of room for more. You just have to know how to market it, just like anything else.

I'd agree with this. I also started a "babes" site like derrick and it gets good traffic but it doesn't sell. So that tells me there's a market for it I just don't know how to sell it yet.

Just a side note, things have gotten so extreme with all the gagging/vomiting/abuse sites I would almost consider just regular sex softcore.

I think the babes niche may be a lot harder to sell because it's even easier for people to get that type of content for free.

You have to work harder to entice them.

I am converting sponsors with mostly just picture content. Very few hardcore sets, mostly solo artsy type stuff.

It really depends on what you are selling and how you present it to the surfer. I'm trying to push the hell out of my hardcore gothic sponsors with video content and am having very little luck, but the picture sites keep selling. go figure


rei1974, some of my sponsors do much worse than 1:500 but still sell. It seems to be the quality of your traffic more than anything.

The babe/glam stuff has soooo much free content - met art, hegre, etc - that I wouldn't even see the point of joining. My conversions are shite - but supposedly they do have plenty of members. I have a feeling that those members signed up years ago.

You can't really judge based on only 500 uniques as the sample size is to small.

[rei1974]

Ah ok, thought that 500 was already a good number, but I was wrong

Good point. And, doesn't that seem to be the way of this industry? As soon as a new niche or trend is discovered, it gets hot. And then, lots of people start going that way to cash in on it. Soon, that niche is saturated with free conent because there are so many programs marketing to it. It becomes such a glut that you've got to believe any surfer with an ounce of intelligence or self-control isn't going to buy it. Timing is everything. If you're not in early, you have to be a very savvy marketer, just plain lucky, or both, to make anything work that's been around awhile.

I don't know if you promoting or have your own site, but here's what seems to work for soft-core me.
I have a lingerie niche site. I use very high quality sound. No music. I look straight into the camera and talk to him while I get in and out of various lingerie outfits. It's just him and me in my bedroom. He's second person not third.
Obviously, the lingerie is the star not me, I just present it better than a Victorias Secret catalog.
I convert at 2 to 3 hundred and judging by the feedback a lot of guys out there don't get the chance to be intimite in a womans bedroom and will take that easily over the mundane watching people fuck. Not that people fucking is mundane but the amount out there makes it mundane.
So yes, there is a market, but again there's got to be an angle.
I don't think a nude girl in the tropics leaning on a tree looking whistfully out to ocean is going to sell very well.
