Greetings:

Well, I'm probably the least experienced in the adult business on this forum, but what the heck I might as well tell you what I'm planning on doing. I'm interested to hear other's thoughts on this matter too.

Since my site will be new, it will be full of a lot of "filler content" aka stuff that we've picked up from content brokers. What we won't have a lot of, when we start off, is original exclusive shoots.

So, what we decided to do is the following:

Each user that joins our site will be automatically added into a mysql database. We'll use this to track all of their behavior (for anti-password sharing, anti-downloaders, etc.), as well as how long they've been a member, how long until their membership is set to expire, if they've cancelled yet or not, etc. etc.

When they first join, they'll be presented with all of our filler content (several tens of thousands of images and about 1,300 video clips that can be streamed or downloaded), along with our live sex feed plugin, and our free bonus site. They'll also see a few exclusive shoots as well to make them happy about their purchase.

Then, every third time that they log in after the first week, they'll see a new exclusive shoot, plus an announcement about what our next "update" will be. So each user has their own custom updates, and the longer they're a member, the more updates they'll see. When it gets down to about a week before it's time for their renewal, we'll announce to them a huge update that will take place, you guessed it, just a couple of days after their membership is set to expire.

Our site will basically act itself out as if it were a play for each user individually. This way, each user is treated to a stream of new updates of exclusive shoots (which are actually ones that are already on the site, just hidden from their personal view). The user is happy because, from their perspective, we're constantly uploading new content. From our perspective, we're getting one hell of a bang for our content buck.

It seems to me if you're giving the user everything at once to begin with, you have to come up with a LOT of new content each month in order to get those renewals. The way we're doing it, it's all new content to THEM anyway....

After the content is X weeks old, we'll put it into the general site pool for everyone to see, in case a user signs up to our site again after letting his membership lapse for a while, the first update he sees when he logs in isn't the same one he saw when he first registered.
