One thing I have learned from many years of experience is that men do not sell the site. I need a minimum 50/50 split of female to male.
Another thing I’ve learned from experience, using real people is a nightmare. If I use three people (assuming I could get three volunteers in the first place) then within 12 months one of them would be demanding I cut their section from the video.
I’m stuck in a vicious circle here. The site desperately needs more people to be viable. These videos seem to have roughly doubled our visitors lately (it’s hard to be sure as I’m also pursuing 4-5 other promotion methods too). None of the current female members are willing to appear in videos/photos anyway. If I produce a video of just men talking, it simply will not work.
I’ve closed almost all my other sites in the past few months. I’m seriously considering shutting everything down and giving up.
The only reason there seems to be a focus on the generated videos is that nothing else gets much interaction. I try to start something like 10 conversations a week in the forums. Most of those are just me, nobody else joins in. I get no comments on most of the naked videos I post, and they rarely trigger a conversation. I’ve been trying not to post AMOC and SGC content (which I have a HUGE amount of) because I don’t think it suits the site any longer. If anyone posts in the forums, I try to reply, but it feels like no matter what I do, the momentum just isn’t there any more.
Building the Master Dare List has been a massive job (and still is) but it’s hard to be enthusiastic when I can’t see any interest in it. My main focus is the experiments (more coming soon) and getting more people to find the site. I stopped posting generated videos in the forums a couple of weeks ago, but now activity in the forums has dropped off a cliff too.
I’ve tried getting some sort of discussion going about how to handle the MDL, but no-one’s interested. I tried discussions on si

I’ve tried getting some sort of discussion going about how to handle the MDL, but no-one’s interested. I tried discussions on site layout, trimming features to focus activity, on helpful links and much more. Most of them got zero replies. Also, if I try too hard in the forums (like I have this week), it tends to look like it’s just me talking to myself and that puts people off participating.
There’s a plan for the generated videos, but it’s going to take a lot of research and practice to get there. The Flicking Channels videos have been one of the more popular things I’ve done on the various social media platforms, and it’s more effective to have a stream of content rather that post the same video over and over. The big advantage for me is I don’t have much time available and I can build the Flicking Channels videos from a byproduct of something else.
