Cashing In on User-submitted Content
YNOT – Couples’ intimate moments end up on the web all time — sometimes intentionally; sometimes not. Tube sites and revenge-porn destinations allow anonymous end-users to post almost anything they stumble across, with little fear of consequences.
As a result, amateur adult content doesn’t hold quite the appeal it once did. Viewers must sift through piles of unwatchable dreck in order to find one or two gems that trip their triggers.
Stunner Media is hoping to change that with the launch of a new website that takes at least some of the guesswork out of the process.
BoyfriendShare.com solicits user uploads, but vets the material for quality and adherence to recordkeeping laws before publishing what a notice on the website calls “only the very best.”
“Boyfriend content has been exploding in popularity across the industry, but it’s tricky to navigate,” said Lloyd Cox, project manager at Stunner. “So much of the content doesn’t have a paper trail or is outright stolen.”
Cox said the new site represents the first wave in what the company intends to be a full-frontal assault on the boyfriend niche. BoyfriendShare is part of the IndieBucks network, but more sites will follow under the umbrellas of HunkMoney and StandAhead. All of the sites will offer members the kinds of content they crave while providing affiliates the legal assurances they need.
“We were determined to produce boyfriend content the Stunner way,” said President Phil St-Onge. “We insisted absolutely everything be 2257-compliant.”
IndieBucks affiliates earn $30 per sign-up or 60-percent recurring revenue share.
