I've have $75k to spend on porn...

Are you limiting yourself to the TS market? Aside from needing more representation of other nationalities, most TS productions are pretty much plain vanilla. Scant few mature or non-bdsm fetish productions compared to straight films. The sector with the disposable income isn't the 20-30 y/o crowd that grew up relatively free from many fetishes imposed on them. There's a vast, untapped market that would appeal to 45+ y/o males. It doesn't take genius to look at some vintage erotica boards and take a log of what they seem to be looking for and dislike in current adult media trends. I'm 50+, I haven't bought a single DVD since Joanna's tool video, nor have I joined a pay website. Not because I'm cheap, I just haven't seen very much that I'd be willing to pull out my credit card. I don't see the point into expanding into other risky media venues when what's available isn't meeting expectations. We don't need a mobile app service that locates and recommends available TS venues and provider services on subscription...yet

Thanks for the input. Well for us, we are meeting expectations on most of our sites and they also already have mobile services attached which add extra revenue on top. Yes we're mainly looking at TS because we already have the traffic, the contacts and the backbone. I don't deny there is a market for specific niches within the tgirl niche but the potential pool of members is too small for many sub-niches to allow too much investment, which is why Shemale Yum is kind of a catch all for different types of models.

I've been buying up the old Shemale Climax books (Grooby is creating an archive of shemale porn from the past) and I do think they have something but maybe it's just nostalgia. We've somewhat tried to do that with ShemalePornstar (create better scenes, better made up models, etc). I'm not sure where we can go with the "vintage" stuff and ideas, within our area though.

Thanks will keep notes of all you've said.

Seanchai,
First off let me say awesome shoot with hazel tucker this month, as for the new content you're looking for I think a site along the lines of insex.com but with tgirls would be a winner. I love that type of content but I always find myself wishing it was a tgirl in the scenes. I could picture girls like jesse or hazel being up for that sort of thing. Anyway just my opinion but a site like that that regularly updates would definately get my $29.99 a month.

I think there is a major shortage of Self Facials in Shemale Porn. Maybe you could do a couple updates with all/some self facial videos Would love to see Jezebelle and Mariana Cordoba do self facial videos

Ok who has the ideas? The paysite model has waned for many new sites and although we're still opening a few new sites, we're looking at other avenues.
Our blog network is doing well, our sites like http://www.tgirls.com is pretty awesome and our new cam site, http://www.tgirl-cams.com seems to be a success in it's first week.

We have DVD's, VOD's, Mobile, free forums and more ...

... so what do we do next?

I've $75k to invest in projects in the next few months. It could be one project, it could be many. What would YOU buy. What is missing from the TS porn scene. If you had the $75k what would you do with it to make more money, in the adult TS business.

Let's see what we can put together. Anybody with killer ideas who doesn't want to talk about it here but can bring something to the table and looking for partners, you can get me on admin@grooby.com

As mad or mundane as it may sounds. Let's talk.

My impression is that Ladyboypussy.com shot a year's worth of stuff in one go and created a website for the post-op niche market, but it is just recycled now.

There is no one offering that niche new content. That is what I think is missing.

you could do something like the mask for ts lovers. set up a member ship system and choose one lucky member a months to film a scene with one of the models.

Well what about a BBW shemale DVD? I'm just sayin though there isn't alot of those out there.

Most amateur sites are fukkin dire, but, judging by the popularity of this thread:

Maybe something along those lines with a bit of grooby elbow polish on it?
