The most successful are run by webmasters who are also into that fetish.

The reason behind this is that not many people run these type of sites other than those who are into the micro-niche themselves ... how could you build a fake sock odour site? i have been building members areas for 5 years, trying to make something out of not much usually, I often research a niche and source some exclusive content ... but there are some niches i just don't get ... most porn purveyors prefer to stick with what they know - which is why you should be working on creating an online empire with the wide range of rare niches you can cater to.

Are the number there? Yes. If I get 5 signups a day off a micro niche it’s worth it to me because I know I can retain them. If I have a base of 200 subscribers at around 24.95 a month that’s 4990.00.

How much is it going to cost you to set up the members area for these micro niches? I'd guess roughly 3 times as much as a standard hardcore paysite? ... maybe not for you Dianna, as you have certain resources & market knowledge at your disposal that not many have ... but for most of us, the profit to grief ratio is wak ... lots of outlay for a potential 200 subscribers a month ... i'd rather go for a bigger market for less effort & grief ...
you have a unique position in this industry with so much history & specific knowledge at your disposal ... instead of trying to change what exists, focus more on where you can fit into that dynamic & benefit from it.
I see your business as having a few key areas of revenue that fit into the evolving industry dynamic ... you've mentioned all of them before ...
1) niched 'ezine' content plugins for paysites covering all the micro-niches & niches you can think of. contact one of the big feed companies like pornholio or (fuck, i can't even think of a big content company) who will resell your 'plugins' for you for a %. sit back and forget about that part of the business except for doing updates on the ezines. because you are already doing certain updates to your niche sites, structure it so that your paysites and leasing paysites are plugging in the same thing ... you have the same amount of update work, but a second revenue stream with a cost of nothing but bandwidth.
2) affiliate program, with a number of paysite frontends that are designed to CONVERT with members areas built with a collection of plugins from your collection. pay a recurring or an active member payout to reduce your initial payout risk. build some really good tools for webmasters, good banners etc ... then get out there and boardwhore your ass off ;-)))) webmasters WILL try your product if it is unique, matches 'keywords' in their traffic, & at least pays *enough*.
3) buy some traffic from sharky's mailers & i think mikeai also run double opt in mailers ... there are plenty of people around here who will work with you to build a reasonably priced traffic source & who are always looking for unique smut to send to their newsletter subscribers.
i want to build a frontend or something for your content ... i keep looking at your site and wanting to take the information and rearrange it. ;-) maybe one night if i am inspired i might play in photoshop
or you could run a design contest to launch the affiliate program ... have webmasters build your sites for you and only pay the one who wins
just kidding ... there are lots of incentives you can offer ... traffic, money, prizes etc.
ok, i'm done brainfarting now ;-)
