Looking to promote soft core?

I have some well performing non-sexual nude male video on DVD and VOD.

You probably already have Webmaster accounts with the major VOD players. Here's the links to my theaters with them. You can insert your linking codes to the theater, or deep link to specific titles.

HotMovies has the most of the titles.
TLA needs support.

In 3 months, I am planning my next trip to Europe. I am rested up following my trip to Europe in 2009, and am a bit more prepared for the next experience.

I'd like to focus my work on the non-sexual content. That way I can work with a wider range of models, who are not as seen on the net, and be less competitive with other hardcore producers. Which includes having hardcore producers offload their non-sexual scenes to me.

Earn more for yourself by helping me earn more for my travels.

My 2 priority destinations are Barcelona and London.

I don't hang out on the GD site (at least not in this posting name), so feel free to share with your Friends over there.

If you're looking to promote or blog about specific genres, here's links to videos, DVDs, books on genres:

Nick, asides from using softcore to promote our own hardcore sites, I have never really touched on promoting softcore itself. Do you have any tips or pointers for doing this?

There are good reasons for webmasters to promote my softcore VOD, DVDs and Books.

* Women like naked men, and women have money to spend on adult entertainment on the web. Women like naked men showing off by themselves, and women like duos or small groups of men naked together.

Women stop at the point of men actually jerking off, oral, anal. Hard is OK, but they don't want the cum shot.

* Men like to make up their own fantasies about another naked man. Why disappoint a viewer with a fantasy they are not into, when you can give them a blank canvass and let them make it their own way.

* Many men had their first naked experiences with other men in sports. Non-sexual of course, so non-sexual nude male video scenes take them back to that era in their lives. School locker rooms, military, Gyms, Ys.

* Men have many areas of pleasure - other than their ass. Massage, rosebud massage, feet.

* There's more to intimate moments between men than hardcore fucking. There's kissing, massage, oral and manual arousal, and just being intimate...

* Many men and women equate ass fucking with power, dominance, submission, pillage and plunder (rape) on the battlefield. In fact, there is a sociological theory that people who react violently to homosexuals, and to gay men today (e.g. gay bashers), is because at some point in that person's 130,000 years of DNA history, a male ancestor was raped, perhaps on the battlefield as a consequence of war, and the experience was recorded in his DNA, that then was passed down to future generations.

* Art and sculpture of the past 3,000 years of recorded civilization depict naked men in sports, military, and camaraderie.

As with any product line, it takes more than one scene or title to create the critical mass to attract and keep a customer. So if a producer or studio has some throw away nude non-sexual footage, or stills, I'd work with it to add to my catalog.

Still photos preferably don't have erections, and if they do, the model shouldn't be touching.

I have a selection of titles on the above links, that fit into my "The Body Guards" series.

"The Body Guards" a very popular with customers.

All of the above resellers have great affiliate programs, and are prompt and faithful payers.

Several new Body Guards are being added this week, and at the end of April.

Luke,
We've produced a huge series of softcore videos ranging from massage and jackoff, orgy massage, naked workouts, softcore games such as guys playing twister, buff or bluff (like truth or dare but with a male sexual twist), the list goes on.

Softcore is very much different than hardcore in very many different ways. Let me put it this way. We spent probably $10-$12k over the past 4 years. We still haven't hit a profit. It was something we experimented with. Aside from that, we have hit a profit with the model pay. If we had to base the videos as if we paid the models per scene, we'd be at a huge loss. Fortunately, models were compensated over their full weekend performances.

Softcore does appeal more towards females. It also appeals towards men seeking the fantasy and learning more about their favorite 'pornstars' or 'models.'

It's very very very difficult to sell. If you line up a softcore update next to a hardcore update (let's say on a blog) the user will look at the softcore, see that there is no sex acts and go onto the hardcore update and the hardcore update will always sell.

Softcore like this or like Nick is talking about is a very very unique niche' of it's own and it's very hard to tap into unless you have a very specific market towards this.

Sites like GuysGoneWild has it's own market. They yet aren't considered softcore. It's a fantasy of it's own. Their fantasy is illustrating the guys to gay men as being 'straight' and wild. Their models have specific personalities that suit their niche.

We produced softcore and it's very hard to sell our own product to consumers.

We started a studio line named "Bare Naked Males" we turned it into a paysite. After 6 months of operating it and marketing it, we only ever got one signup out of about 11,000 hits. The signup purchased a $24.95 initial, $19.95 recurring. He cancelled after being a member for 7 days. We decided to shut the site down and converted traffic back over to the studio site.

There are pro's and cons to promoting softcore. The pro's, you have to have a very specific niche market looking for that or else it won't sell. The cons of course what I said.

Programs that resell my fine art nude male softcore content include Amazon, AEBN, HotMovies, BadPuppy/DogGone Video.

Webmasters who are already affiliates of Amazon, AEBN, HotMovies, BadPuppy/DogGone Video, or who are looking for Programs that are well established and are reliable payers, should consider the success these programs offer.

To make it simple for webmasters to promote (e.g.) The Body Guards Series in a matter of minutes, this link includes each AEBN, HotMovies, DogGone and Amazon link to VOD, DVDs and Books/eBooks. The only editing you need to do is to replace your Affiliate code in each link.
