As for opening a site brand new? I would pre-populate it with at least a few months of content, and still offer it at an "introductory" price. Let the guys know that if they stay, they're locked in at that price forever so they don't want to cancel. But once you get up to a good supply of content, up your price point to reflect that. Better to do it that way than face a bunch of cancellations from guys who didn't realize how empty the members area was because the site is brand new. Those are just my thoughts, anyway.

Great article Spannow!
Thanks Elli!

The model is indeed the engine that drives the web site given the tools you provide her. I completely agree that personality goes a long way and can make a good model great and a great model a star! All the same, a lack of personality or bad attitude can reduce a stunning girl into a bore or otherwise diminish her popularity just as quickly. The trick is finding a personable model with the commitment to stick to it, it's an eternal search, as discussed here earlier. But once you do have that special girl though and all your ducks are in a row everything else should fall right into place, smartly.

In terms of depth-of-content naturally we'd all love to open with vast libraries of material but that isn't always practical or possible at the time. So we work within our own capabilities and use the resources we do have access to. Therefore it's not unheard of to open for business with a handful of material and hit the ground running with good updates - that can still deliver in terms of conversion and retention. Just like a compensatory personality, the frequency and quality of updates often makes up for lack of content depth...
