Post Rant Girls Premium Galleries

One of the items that was also implemented with the new look of Sportsrant.com was a complete new gallery software. This change was put in place so that interaction with the girls pictures would be better and the performance of this new system it much better than the old one.



The reason...

Mike, why would anyone pay a monthly fee to see girls with their clothes on? Again, maybe this is just me being 'closed minded' but I just don't see anyone actually paying for this "premium service". Especially since there are hundreds of thousands of free nudity sites, plus some that charge small monthy fee's also.

IMO, without nudity you will not get but a handful of people to pay it. But I would also like to hear others opinions on this too. Maybe i am wrong again (which is happening alot lately).

But to that same effect you dont get to see the RGOM's nude and some people leave it up to the imagination of "what if". If i were to go full nudity or some nudity, it would kill the site totally. Its not my intention to have porn on the site what so ever.


But again, I am looking for feedback and you are giving it, which i appreciate totally. Bullz-eye offers something to the same effect and they have tons of members, they also do not offer nudity.

Your correct that their are tons of free porn sites to look at and by all means let those internet users go to those sites. The premium galleries would be something more risque, but at the sametime to leave something to imagine.


Thanks for the feedback Jay

No problem, i'm always down to give my opinions (as retarded as they are sometimes!)

Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying you should make them nude galleries, or that i even want nude galleries. If i need nudity i'll just call up Ms. June '03 and she can send me some more.

But seriously, maybe it would all depend on how you market this thing also. If you look at the overall "addition" to the rant that the RGOM has brought so far, would you say this is a large amount? Meaning are there a large amount of people that come back time after time because of the rant girls? Are these people also searching and using other parts of the site?

Like Bullzeye for example (i really don't know much about them) do they have a lot of members that pay for pics of the girls with their clothes on?

well that part I do not know, as far as how many acutal paying members there are at bullzeye. I am sure they are getting a fair share becuase they just recently swicthed payment systems for their galleries!

Yes and your correct the marketing of this would also be something that would be very important, but that also goes into the idea behind it and this thread maybe able to acutally give me feedback on how it works or ideas behind it!

But in some aspects your correct man, and to some of your questions, i dont know what the % is of members that come back for more!

As far as Nude pics from June 2003, PM me, LMAO

acutally when you send me some nudes of your GF, i'll send you some of June 2003!

I'll admit I first came for the rant girls but ended up checking out the forums and reading the articles and stuff so I keep coming back. I honestly could say that I wouldn't pay for just a few extra pictures or anything. However, instead of charging for a premium thing maybe you could just charge for a rant girl calendar or something.

Mike, I would pursue other venues. As stated, way too mamy other websites to go for the pictures that people would want, and definately would not pay even a small amount to see it here.

Numbers, the game we play to drive the site. I think if you want to charge for anything, it would to join leagues that we are running specifically on the rant.

Agreeing with everyone else. The pictures as they are are great. I would not pay for a handful of different type of photos.

Hey thanks everyone for the feedback! I really appreciate it

Again, its just an idea that i had, it would help make the site make some money and make it have the addition of more items

The leagues thing is cool but EXPENSIVE

I will take this into consideration and will probably not do this, just a thought

Mike

I agree with everyone else on this more or less. As it is, we have thousands of members that only come to see the RG's. Who knows how many of them signed up thinking they might see nudes, and never came back. No regular would pay...IMO, to see what we have been seeing for free.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see the girls and photographers get paid, they deserve it. I just don't think we could make much money off that idea.

The calendar on the other hand. That could go REALLY well. Marketing, marketing, marketing.

I think the more exposure we can get, the more calendars we could sell. That can lead to $. Yes, I know, I need to get off my dead ass and line up some interviews and work on some games. This will help with exposure.
