Sheer Creator/Studio Profile Page, Design Flaw - POLL

[XGlamourX]

TLDR: Direct sales made via a Sheer profile page gives the creator or studio the maximum payout.
However, the current design of Sheer creator profile pages works against maximising direct sales for new & smaller creators & studios.

New to Sheer and I'd like to share a few observations about Sheer's creator/studio profile page and how it could be improved.

1 - The Sheer admin should have an option so creators & studios can to choose to display previews and the PPV prices for videos to all everyone who visits their profile page.
At the moment, buyers have to subscribe to a creator to see the content offered.

This probably isn't a huge problem for established creators/studios, as they will mostly have an established fanbase who know what they offer & will likely sign up without needing to preview content.

But, for new or smaller creators/studios the lack of previews & no PPV pricing information will be a barrier to converting traffic into sales.

2 - As you can see from the above screenshot there are no previews of the content & the only pricing info is the cost for a subscription. This implies the only way to access the content is via a subscription!

No one, but no one is going to buy a monthly subscription for a new creator or studio with a low number of posts/scenes.

So why make the user-unfriendly, minimal info page in the above screenshot the only thing unregistered or not logged-in potential buyers can see when they visit a sheer creator/studio profile page!

On the other hand, a potential buyer may be prepared to purchase a specific scene they are interested in for a one-off PPV price. E.g. $6.00, 6 tickets etc. If there is a preview AND a PPV option clearly displayed by default.

3 - So why not provide creators/studios the option to make their profile page display previews & offer the PPV download/stream price as the default price option for all visitors to their profile pages?
All creators/studios should have the option in their Sheer admin to display their content to all potential buyers like the below edited (mockup) screenshot:

With the above design, buyers can see the content offered, view thumbnails of premium photosets, play previews/trailers for the videos see the price for individual/PPV content & make a purchase with one click!

It would be interesting to hear some feedback about this issue from buyers & other creators?

[visigoth2020260]

Only fans will not give you a preview; the content creator must perform his or her own advertising.
So your duty should be to create outstanding scenes and promote your work in various forums, tube sites, and platforms, including this one.

Now, if your stuff is similar to many others out there, you will be frustrated since it is a lot of work to accomplish what I just described above, or if you pay someone to do it, it will be a waste of money.

I like you because you came to the proper location to ask your question, mingling with the fans, and viewers are the most powerful tool at your disposal....viewers are similar to models, without models, there is no scene, and without viewers, there is no money.

You'll need an advertising crew, but the most important thing is the fucking great scenes, which would be a welcome change from the daily flood of poor unsolicited scenes.
If you'd like, I may be one of your advertisements.

Can you be distinct?

[XGlamourX]

Only fans will not give you a preview; the content creator must perform his or her own advertising.

I partly agree. The OF no previews & subscribe to gain access approach works great for OF site & their model creators... but it doesn't work for productions using different models for each scene.

So your duty should be to create outstanding scenes and promote your work in various forums, tube sites, and platforms, including this one.

Yes, absolutely! But the issue is the Sheer platform creates an artificial barrier between potential buyers & the production.

Let me give an example:

Imagine if you listed an item on Ebay. You advertise the item.

But when buyer traffic arrives to view the listing, the item photos are blurred out & the actual price of the item is incomplete, shipping info is also missing etc.

And to gain access the full listing details, potential buyers would have register &/or login to Ebay, and then subscribe to the seller!

That's a lot of hoops to jump through to make a purchase for someone who has clicked on a link from a tube site, social media, forums etc.

The profile needs to fully accessible to customers. So the only thing the buyer needs to do when they open the profile page is; play the preview/trailer, then click the PPV, buy button if they like the scene.

I like you because you came to the proper location to ask your question, mingling with the fans, and viewers are the most powerful tool at your disposal....viewers are similar to models, without models, there is no scene, and without viewers, there is no money.

Agreed. Which is why I'd be really interested in hearing buyer feedback about the no-access design of Sheer's profile page.

Does the no-preview & the incomplete pricing information put you off from proceeding further?

If you'd like, I may be one of your advertisements.

Could you DM me?

Can you be distinct?

I don't understand this question?

[visigoth2020260]

I see that Sheer is like OF no preview, but they promise to conduct advertising for the artists.
However, amid hundreds or thousands of creators, it would be difficult for a new no-name firm to compete with the well-known studios.
As a result, you'll need an advertising team.

They also pledge not to take down your films because they are too hot.
What exactly does this imply?
Can the models be tormented before being fucked brutally?
Can guys chase them down, can they be befriended, you see there are limitless possibilities to add to the actual circumstance, etc, PISS, DP, DVP, DAP, and so on.
This is what I meant when I said I want you to be .unique
I know there are boundaries, but you can certainly play within them.
People are sick of smiling prostitutes, yet they will cheerfully accept them since no one else will. Make the proper enhancements. make the right decision and viewers will come flocking to your studio.

acting is much needed, real acting...Kitty Doll is a genuine actor.

In sheer, as in PBB, most people will be buried among the competition.
You require new ideas. Look, everything is in front of you; all you have to do is mix it.

As for myself, I've lived where there is no land since the dawn of the internet.
I may genuinely be knowledgeable.

I'd want people to share their thoughts on this terrific man who remembered us when embarking on susses.
Regardless, I wish you luck; it's a daring challenge you are embarking on.

Simply make people speak about you.
Viewer one... what XGlamourX is doing to the models is heinous.
Viewer two... I will never buy such a scene.
Viewer three... this sounds extremely interesting.
Viewer four... this is exactly what I've been looking for my entire life.

vi is gonna be one of xglamourx advertisers

[visigoth2020260]

vi is gonna be one of xglamourx advertisers

After watching the two trailers provided by xglamourx, I can only advise against advertising those scenes.
They are more of the same, they need to develop scenes that can compete with the big boys, have like 10 scenes, then start mass advertising. Making at least two scenes per week, with no requirement for top models because you will be selling the content, not the names.

If I were a content creator.
A minimum of two guys and a guest girl are required. She'll be the one befriending street girls and taking them home then flipping the script. Like making a pass on a street girl only to get turned down.

So you don't like girls.
Street girl... no, I don't like girls, sorry, I think I should be going now.

Maria lunges at STG and grabs her by the hair as she walks to the door, and binds STG with a rope. Maria takes her underwear off and inserts it in STG's mouth and gags her with duct tape, as STG screams for Maria to let her go.

Maria, I'm going to summon my lads to fuck your ass so hard that you'll be begging to devour my pussy and ass.

STG was soon crying and pleading with Maria to stop her lads from fucking her ass and offering to devour her pussy and ass.

tsome of the actions that can be added
Maria binds STG and pisses on her.
Maria eats STG's ass
Maria dildoes STG ass
Maria fondles STG
Maria eats her tits
Maria makes STG eat her pussy while being ass fuck by her lads.
Mara pisses on STG as she is being DP or DAP.

[b]TLDR: Direct sales made via a Sheer profile page gives the creator or studio the maximum payout.

If that's the case, are Pornbox happy with you advertising it here? Presumably they get a smaller cut from scenes being sold elsewhere. I'd never even heard of Sheer until recently, but now I keep seeing it mentioned by studios - is it somehow linked to Pornbox, or some seperate system? Heck - if it's cheaper, I'll dump this place and go there.

I just tried visiting the site, and it said my email is already registered for it (despite me never knowingly visiting it before), yet when I tried to reset my password and sign in it won't let me, so I'm still in the dark as to what it actually is, or how it relates to this site?

PornBox and Sheer are two sides of the same coin. Effectively, they are part of the same company.
I think your password for PB should work on Sheer without needing to reset it. Mine did.
I think they intended PornBox to the public shopfront where content is displayed for sale.
I think Sheer is more for content creators, as a competitor to OF.
Hence content is not readily viewable on Sheer without registering, same as OF.

[avanfurwet]

Sheer, and OF and even the Musk App now seem to require some form of registration to get past the login wall.

Wheras content creators selling on PB and XV can still direct traffic and prospective customers to view their previews for free without registration.

So, I'm not sure what value a content creator receives from driving traffic and prospective customers to their Sheer page. What does Sheer do that the "shopfront" sites like PB and XV don't do? Wouldn't a content creator be more interested in driving sales from the shopfront?

This is why I made this post.

Buyers aren't aware that they can increase the payout to their favourite creators & studios by 30% if they buy the same scene, for the same price via the creator's Sheer profile!

It's a cost-free way to boost creators income & help them to grow in these inflationary times.

The benefits to both parties are:

1 - Sales made via Sheer generate 30% more income for studios & creators. So you're helping your favourite creator/studio to grow & keep producing more & better content.

2 - The cost per scene is the same for the buyer. So it makes sense to support creators by buying via Sheer!

Exactly, so the company make money whether you buy from Pornbox or Sheer.

However, the payout to creators/studios for the same scene sold via via Sheer is 30% more!

Which is why the buyer experience needs to be similar to the storefront. I.e. show previews & display the PPV price for scenes clearly.

I don't know. I'm not a content creator and today my login no longer works for Sheer so I can't see anything behind their login wall.

But I thought from Sheer's terms and conditions displayed on their website that:

1. "For example, as a content partner you earn 80% of the net membership revenue for all the customers on your Sheer profile, and 90% for tips and customs, and usually less for customers coming from partner websites (because they have to be paid for providing you with extra sales and giving more visibility to your brand)."

So, if "partner site" means PornBox then content creators may receive less for certain sales made via PB - but PB will obviously give the creator more visibility for general web traffic.

I guess some creators may feel they are driving traffic themselves to Sheer, but Sheer has less visibility which I guess is XGlamourX's argument. Maybe the lower visibility is also the reason why Sheer payouts can be larger for some sales?

2. I say some sales, because the same published T&C say that payouts to content creators for PPV (Exclusive) scenes (which I guess applies to most content on PB) are 90% from Sheer and >100% from partner sites. I guess the ">100%" refers to the prepayment after 15 days?

All the above is uninformed idle speculation from me. But if correct, then many/most content creators selling exclusive PPV scenes on PB will receive more money for sales made on PB than via Sheer?

[visigoth2020260]

Regardless of whether you're on AV, PPB, SHEERS, OF, XVIDEOS, or another site.
If your material isn't a cut above, you'll be buried among the big boys.

Copy the big boys' moves and add your own spin to them.
You'll be surprised when viewers start calling your scenes "original."


People require previews, and sites without previews are suspect.

Some makers claim to have the best hardcore production, however, it is all subpar.

Now this is a legitimate profile.

It's a large business talking to producers and prostitutes.
When his family tried to stop him from paying ten dollars per minute to communicate with a prostitute, he murdered them.
According to one observer, in order to talk with NRX studios, one must have spent $2000 in the previous month.

Sheer was built by engineers; the only defects are the content creators; when you make 500, sheer makes thousands, if not millions.

Choosing exclusive offers the best deal in principle, but you need to factor a few things into the equation, so it's a bit more nuanced than that.

But that's a separate topic and I'd like to focus on not being able to offer previews & display a PPV price per scene & if potential buyers view this as a negative.

I tend to agree with visigoth2020260's perspective that people expect previews, and websites without them may raise suspicions.

This becomes even more important when you're sending traffic to your Sheer profile from third-party sites, like tubes and others.

Be good to get some more feedback insights about this from buyers?

[davebowman]

OK, I finally managed to get access to Sheer, and found that all my Pornbox purchased videos were already there, so presumably Pornbox must be setting up accounts for users without actually telling them. Anyway, as well as benefits for studios, it looks as though there are some benefits for buyers as well, with some studios offering exclusive or cheaper content subscriptions than you can get at Pornbox.

To the OP who said:

At the moment, buyers have to subscribe to a creator to see the content offered.

- this does not appear to be the case. I think you have to register and sign in as a user, but when that is done, I can see all the previews. For example, I'm not subscribed to (picks randomly) Yummy Estudio https://www.sheer.com/luisg, but I can view all the uncensored previews on their page. When I go to your page, I can see the latest two videos that only have a direct purchase option, but the two with a subscriber option are hidden. Are you sure you haven't missed some kind of option and hidden these in error, as it doesn't seem to be happenning to other studios when I visit their pages.

Thanks for taking the time to do this. This why I wanted to get some user feedback!

You're correct, I gave the incorrect information regarding the need to subscribe to view creators free previews.

However, If you don't have a user account with Sheer. For example you've just followed a link from a tube site etc. This is what you will see when you click on posts to try to watch the free previews on Sheer:

So potential buyers are required to register a user account, be logged in & have a verified credit or debit card on file to watch the free previews on Sheer.

I don't know what percentage of people would lose interest at that point & go elsewhere? My guess is it would be pretty high.

Are you sure you haven't missed some kind of option and hidden these in error, as it doesn't seem to be happenning to other studios when I visit their pages.

Maybe... Ok, I've changed the settings for the two that aren't showing. So they should be visible now?

That is extremely kind of you, but XGlamourX must first create the appropriate content.

I like him because he is humble enough to talk to us, unlike those F bastards.
Despite having proof in hand, they refuse to give in.
Some jerks even have the arrogance to brag about graduating from art colleges yet generating garbage, which is pitiful.

XGlamourX, you need to create good action scenarios like the ones I've shown in my gifs.
You can be unique and attract a wide range of viewers.
torture, abduction, manhandling, crying, slapping, begging, piss, vomiting, binding, verbal humiliation
and so on some say is a niche but with great lighting, etc (gonzo lighting) you gonna be stealing everyone's money. Have the whores symbolically marry the best buyers of the month.

I miss a co-op between PB and Sheer in showing which scenes I already own.
Way own too many scenes maybe, but I am getting lost a bit especially with a bit older scenes of last half year and risk getting some of them twice.
Might even be intended by them?

Generally I find their design user-friendly rather, though.

I have the same problem where sometimes I worry that I have bought the same scene twice LOL! There are so many re-released, re-edited versions of the same or similar scene...it is a reason why I tend to stick with GIO or Gonzo primarily, as I believe they are less likely to do it...and as a customer, that is what I want. They get my money as I feel like they deliver a fairly good quality overall product, and can be more easily trusted than many others...
