If you’re in the affiliate business, you are well acquainted with industry veteran SilverCash, which has been in the thick of things for a decade, light years in the lifespan of the web. Debuting with just four sites, Mike Price, president and CEO of Sincomm Limited, quickly grew the program into six, then 15, eventually topping out at more than 100 sites.
Now offering a more thoughtfully edited selection of premium sites, SilverCash is adding a brand-new player to its successful lineup: TeenModels.com.
“TeenModels was something that I really wanted to create,” Price tells AVN, explaining that the site is all about “young models from around the world getting kinky with themselves and other girls. There is no cock in this site except in the ‘naughty’ section, which includes all of the Silver Sinema content.”
More so than any other site, TeenModels is all about Price’s personal predilections. “TeenModels is really a site that I made for myself. Being on the net and seeing thousands of adult sites and watching the internet grow, I made this site for me, for what I would want a site to be as a surfer.
“I wanted a site that had the beautiful girls of sites like Met-Art and Femjoy, but I wanted the girls doing things more in line with sites like ALS and FTV,” he elaborates, joking that there is “nothing better than talking a supermodel into shoving a baseball bat up her butt.”
In terms of the site launch, SilverCash spared no effort to put together a site that not only had excellent content, but also the features that keep surfers hooked in for the long term. “TeenModels was our biggest single site project to date,” he says. “We spent over a year in development and shooting content. We spent well over a million dollars just for this one release and have many, many plans to continually expand the site and help it maintain its already achieved status as one of the very best teen sites on the net.”
TeenModels was designed to be consumer-friendly, with no pop-ups, no upsells and easy cancellations if the subscriber so chooses.
But why would he? Benefits abound: Twice-daily Silver Sinema updates, daily picture updates, video updates three times a week; video downloads available in eight different formats; a ratings system for all models, pictures and videos; a comments section for each lovely lady; as well as access to the whole panoply of SilverCash sites (which includes eight solo-girl sites, nine reality sites and 21 HD sites) and more than 2,000 exclusive videos shot by SilverCash.
Price thinks the niche is just a no-brainer, given that “18 to 23 is a special age,” when girls are at their most nubile—and experimental. “It’s a time when a girl is not only at her physical peak in terms of natural beauty,” Price says, “but it’s also an age when they like to experiment with their bodies.”
All of the girls on the site have a profile page that includes a personal glimpse at each model, with interviews, a compilation video of all of that model’s content, and direct links to all of her videos and pictures.
This makes the site an easy sell for affiliates; who doesn’t want to see “hot teen supermodels gone bad”? “Real teens, real orgasms,” Price promises. “That’s our focus, getting the hottest teens in the world to do as much as possible.”
Affiliates can plug in two ways: “TeenModels has only two subscription options—$29.99 per month or three months for $59.99. TeenModelCash pays webmasters either $30 per join or a 50/50 revshare.” But given that the site content is structured to promote maximum retention of members, Price offers this advice to affiliates: “I would highly suggest that you use the revshare option for long-term recurring.”
Response has been great since the site launch in late June, according to Price. “The reviews have ranged from 90 to 100, and the feedback we have received has been great,” he says. “This is very important to us as this site is really designed for the surfer experience, and to hear how much people are loving the site really keeps us motivated.”
But it isn’t just premium sites such as TeenModels.com that Price considers his company’s signature selling point. “In the first few years of the program I personally answered all webmaster support emails; I worked directly with everyone,” he says of the company’s beginnings. “As big as SilverCash was, we really kept our staff small for years. This personal approach was something that really helped us grow.
“Site selection, payout and those things are nice. But everyone has those now,” he says. “I think trust these days is one of the most important features that a program can have.”
