So might I suggest, taking something like that LAST picture you posted above as a reference/starting point....it is a very strokeable, EXPLICIT-type shot that your garden variety pervert will want to jerk to, and I mean the typical jerker-offer who is willing to part with the requisite $20-30 monthly fee. Get this type of content and shit online FIRST, and then start mixing in the cool, different shots like the one's with the graffiti and interesting scenery.





That's the thing though, that explicit shot I posted is part a the series of the other images with the ball gag in her mouth. I just photoshopped some of them for my own amusement, into black and white and used funky filters. In the online gallery, they will all be in color with no filters. I will have a separate gallery for my photoshopped/artsy photos, which I'm sure nobody will visit. But that's OK.

Here's another free Burg marketing tip: YOU, Holly (porn's version of Underdog's sweetheart, P. Polly Purebred) are a HUGE marketing tool in and of yourself. You need, SOMEHOW, to emphasize, remind and otherwise bring to the FORE the fact that YOU, gorgeous/sweet/charming Holly, are the one coming up with and SHOOTING this filth! I am totally serious....it is one thing to see porn today with semi-hot chicks getting banged in all positions and then swallowing load after load....it is another thing ENTIRELY, to meditate and ponder and whack off to Porn that we realize is being orchestrated by YOU...when i see such filthy spectacles, and then further realize that it is YOU behind the camera, and that YOU are actually there shooting the shit....well, that amps up the hottness factor considerably, and therefore, gives YOU and your site and your content an invaluable EDGE. There should be a shot of a shot where YOU, Holly, are visible photographing the action up close...picture a chick on her knees with 3 dudes blasting away into her mouth, and there is P. Polly Purebred (aka HOlly Randall) right behind the girl with her camera, shooting away (with a smile for effect, and maybe even your jeans unbuttoned (nothing showing of course) to "imply" you were diddling yourself to the action at somepoint....ANYTHING to ensure success and give you that EDGE I am talking about.) it is almost as if YOU, Holly, become a vicarious, non performing, NON-porn star PORN star....Like your signature says Holly...HAVE a few pictures on your website for each shoot of YOU respectfully lubing up the girl's pussy. I AM TOTALLY SERIOUS! That alone will bring in a certain core of membership and viewers each month...EVEN Jeff Steward would be interested in seeing You, Holly/Polly lubing up a chick's pussy.... You may recall Holly, it was I who suggetsed you use that line as your signature a long time ago...





I hear you-- and I've had this suggested to me before. I'm just terrible at marketing myself, I feel silly doing heavy self-promotion. This is where the insecurity that Random mentioned comes in-- I have a hard time believing that people want to see ME amidst all the gorgeous girls that I shoot. Though I have quite a few hardcore members who love shots of me in action, and they were the ones who bugged me to pose for my site in the first place. So I know the interest is out there, I just get funny about it. Really, I need a publicist to whisper ego-inflating words in my ear so that my head swells enough to get the job done.

Don't get me wrong -- I'm not being a hater about this. I am seriously thinking that there may be a real demand for stock photos of punky / glam / edgy erotica anytime a magazine, article, or documentary wants that kind of shot. Eg. same idea as the porn versions of youtube out there -- promoting the type of content that the more conservative existing (stock) sites wouldn't offer.




You know, this is a pretty good idea-- I just don't know of any of those types of stock agencies. And I know stock photography can be pretty difficult to get into. But it's definitely worth thinking about!
