Does anyone have any hard numbers. I'm going over the Kira Kenner lawsuit and the one area I can't plug a value into is the amount of income from her website that she shared with Vivid.

Personally, I would never join a performers website when I could join a site like Naughty America or the Cumfiesta sites that has new content of diferent girls everyweek.




Well those two sites (NA and CF) are good examples highlighting key elements of what is needed for success especially for an individual pornchick's site. You said it....the fact that these two companies have NEW, fresh talent and scenes EVERY week make them a popular and PROFITABLE enterprise.

The same would hold true for the personal fansite of <insert name of pornchick>; almost every girl has her legion (of varying size) of fans, most of whom would definitely join and pay for an ongoing membership IF she kept putting up Fresh content and doing different things each week, several days during the week, to make her site seemingly hott, nasty and "fresh" enuff for today's typically warped and jaded porn fan. Even Our own young, up and coming Sex Industry ICON, Ceara "Lunch"/Lynch, has picked up on this simple fact and mixed up the various Fetishes she will cater to and indulge in....Variety and freshness are the operative terms here folks.

For instance, imagine Big titted Gianna Michaels had a website launched that started with 10 never-before scenes featuring her that were shot specifically for her website. And every Monday (or even every OTHER Monday... updates every 2 weeks would work IF she was consistent and IF the scenes didnt suck but were strokeworthy) she put up a new scene for her fans. They'd go for it for sure....and if she mixed it up every now and then, and allowed her fan(s) to pick and choose the type of scene she shot next, and what the scene actually encompassed and how it played out, well this would only attract even more perverts forking over the dough to join and thus be able to have a "say" in where Gianna takes the next load of Jizz.

Every Wednesday she updated her website's personal calendar and personal Blog/Diary telling everyone where she would be next dancing, or what she would be shooting, along with a few words/blurbs about what she thinks or how she feels about what she is doing (like her past experiences dancing at CLUB xyz, or dancing in the City Of XXXX in general as compared to other places....how she feels about shooting her upcoming double penetration scene in Chicago, why she likes shooting POV Bj scenes or handjobs, etc .... why she likes working with performer So-and-so, ANYTHING to momentarily capture the attention of her fans and give them something to read, watch or think about.

On Thursdays, she would post her fresh photo(s) of the week, something featuring her in a sexy, or funny, or otherwise interesting scene (like GIA Jhoredan did/does with her Road Trip Photos to places like New Orleans....remember, a pornchick's legion of fans will eat that stuff up, so long as she is consistent and does'nt suck with what she presents. Photos can be even more strokeable than vids, if they are hott enough. Gianna would get a lot of mileage from having even just one NEW never before seen photograph of something even totally simple and basic and REAL, like a cellphone picture in her "MEMBERS ONLY" section of her with a freshly shot load of jizz on her tongue about to be gobbled for all the world to see, or a totally fucking gross photo of her getting her enema before her Anal scene on the set for "XXXXXX" shot the previous week.....you follow? Bonus points for a gross scat-type photograph capturing the evacuation of said enema...remember her legion of "fan-boyos", and even otherwise disinteretsed bystanders will want to peek at the turds coming out her butthole. Basically, according to Burglar's Marketing Acumen, Turd Pictures
= $ucce$$ for the website.

Saturdays or Sundays (once or twice a month) would be CHAT day with her fans, along with a 20 minute webcam strip show they could view and jerk off to (which she could also save and allow others to play it back and download later as a video off the website for more "new and fresh" content.)

Throw in some personally written erotica about how "horny she is when this happens" or what she fanatsizes about at night, and her fans would love reading that shit too. Go look at Gia du' Jour-dansk's website for an ideal framework and imagine somehthing like that properly maintained and updated for the right pornchick, and you would have a moneymaker of sufficient scope to justify a whore's investment of time and work. Again, assuming she does not cave in to laziness...if she does then the game is up....

If all this was done consistently and correctly from the start, which would make the seemingly large amount of effort or work needed RATHER light in fact, it would be a success. But alas...the laziness of porn chicks knows no boundaries.

Seriously, hoe often do you hear fanboys throw tantrums because their here-to-fore favorite whore's website has'nt updated anything in "months"? All the fucking time, which suggests EVEN a paltry and pathetic small amount of work/updating would probably turn a lot of these idle websites into at least SMALL moneymakers right away.


Lets ask Holly what she thinks....Holly you update your website frequently with new and fresh filthy pornography for you legion of fans to whack off to....do you think many of the girls could make a decent chunk of change off their website(s) if they simply put up new and fresh content once in a while??? You do content exchange shoots with talent all the time, so where is all this "content" going? I have heard of and seen a lot of these so-called "Content exchange" types of shoots done between performers....and it simply SITS on disks as months, even years go by and the performers' sites remaing unupdated. What gives in your opinion Holly?
