The average pay site owner does not produce their own content, but buys it and in most cases they do not use exclusive content when they design their tours. I guarantee you that when a surfer that has been looking at porn sites for a while lands on a website with models that they've seen on other websites, they will be far less inclined to join than they will if the've never seen the models before.

You are a perfect example of what I warn many people just getting started in this business about when they say they are thinking of selling the content they are producing to make enough money to start their own pay site. If they wait to start their site until they are ready, and the content on their website is only available on their site and can be seen nowhere else on the net, they will be far better off than if they've been selling their content for a few years and now it's all over the place on countless other websites.

P.S. 'Big tits' and 'teens' have been niches as long as I've been in this business and still are. Chicks with big tits, glasses and and freckles would be a micro niche, which is the main niche broken down into a smaller niche.

Straight and gay are markets. Any subset of either of those markets are niches. Any subsets of those niches are micro niches. 'Teen' is a niche within the straight market, just as 'twink' is a niche within the gay market.
The only thing that impresses a surfer enough to sign up is the QUALITY OF THE PORN. He does not care if it's on 1 site or 1,000. And trust me if it were on 1,000 sites I would not be opening a paysite.

I will always stand against the misleading statement od Exclusive is the way to go". Quality is the way to go and if more sites offered quality and value for money we might not be in the situation of losing so many surfer to free porn.

Big tits and teens are a section of porn and if you want to make them work you have to define them more than just that. Except I suppose with big tits if you have enough very very big girls when anything will sell.
