Default Top Selling

Which kind of site sells more for a paysite? Generic softcore, generic hardcore, fetish, niche, story? Or something else?

It all depends on what you want to do. If you want to play with competition, your bigger sellers will be lesbian, teen, amateur etc....customer base is very large....just remember, so is the competition...

On the other hand, if you want to corner a smaller niche...that can be quite lucrative. I have found that smaller niches CAN work really well because the audience is very loyal and willing to pay for the 'good stuff'...albeit, the customer base is also much smaller....BUT, again, so is the competition.

When starting out, try a bit of everything.

Now, figure out what five niches best convert for you and make 50 (sites/galleries) of each.

Ok, more time has passed, which niche has done best for you? Now make a 1000 of them. Make at TGP or a links list or both. Make that niche work for you.

I'd build beast sites , they convert by far the best.

retention ain't that good and you get Hans Burger after you for nicking his content...but ...you can't have everything

Through Nick's sarcasm, there really is a lesson here....

....newbs shouldn't start paysites until they learn how to accumulate traffic.

A good one. Keep in mind that the "best" niches to be in are probably the most crowded.

What are the stats? 2 or 3 out of every 100 business startups are around after 5 years?

The same person who can sell icemakers to Eskimos might not be able to GIVE AWAY bottled water in the Sahara.

If plushies and grandma armpits are niches, then obviously there are all kinds of tastes to be satisfied out there. Dravyk is right - learn what YOU can sell, then sell the shit out of it.

Honest answer...

The best niche to sell is the one you are into.

I started in amateur and voyeur cause that is my "thing"

Another very true statement, Nick!!

Matter of fact in a new mainstream endeavor I'm about to do exactly that!!

No, I want say I'm into ... though saying mainstream does limit the guessing a bit. hehe

That's actually the best advice anyone can give.
You can always sell something much better if you like it.

What's even weirder is you're right on the money... I'm staying away from you... you've been corrupted whilst waiting for the revolution... or is this the revolution...
