1. The rise (and fall) of amateur sites. It was earlier said that many people get into it to make money. The sad reality is that few sites do make money.
2. Getting and retaining models for a site. There's a few threads that discuss how 'normal' people view foot fetish as something queer. To quote one thread "The person needs help." You may get a girl to model for you once and, more than likely, that will be the end of it especially when the sensibilities set in. No matter if it's an amateur model or professional, the life span of a foot fetish model is extremely short. This is the main reason you don't see work pushing the barrier like the work found at hotlegsandfeet.com.
3. The name of the game is money. It takes money to set-up properly and offer high quality work. It takes money to get and retain models. It takes money to set-up a good pay site. The problem is that most go into providing content without a lot of cash, a long-term vision or plan. Additionally, since a lot of 'normal' people see this whole foot fetish thing as weird, there isn't a whole lot of venture capital to do the whole thing right.
Personally, I want to do something good for this genre. I love beautiful girls and long natural toes. I welcome comments, ideas and thoughts about how to reverse this trend. Feel free to email me at marvelgirlinc@yahoo.ca or add your two cents to my threads.

Venture Capital...for a foot fetish website, you must be joking right.
What venture capitalist is going to pump money into a foot fetish website when there are Google's and YouTube's out there to be discovered.
Darling, take some business classes...capital flows where investors can get the highest returns. There is no capital because the yields on porn websites are so miniscule no matter how much money you throw at them. Sure you can make a couple of hundred thousand from a good site, but to attract capital you have to show there is room for growth and lots of it.
The online porn industry may have a cap of few billion or so dollars, but it so fragmented that nobody has the chance to get wildly rich and that my dear is how you attract Venture Capital.

Don't take it personal dear, I was a financial analyst for the largest asset managment firm in Los Angeles, not to mention I have degrees in Economics and Finance. I suspect your in a little over your head trying to connect VCs and foot fetish websites.
Question, what is your experience with VC's, or are you a VC yourself?
I am not a VC, however, I do have connections to a very prominent VC firm in the area, a principal is close friend and mentor.
And FYI, it's Wharton, not Warton darling...he he he.
If you want any more unsolicited lessons, just write about business like you know what your talking about, finance and securities analysis is my area of expertise

I'll give ya that, but David DeAngelo would've been disappointed that you scared the female off though.
Aside from her notion to solicit or suggest venture capital (which I kinda did not notice as strongly as her other points), I'd say she was on key with a lot of her other statements.
This being one of them: "It takes money to set-up properly and offer high quality work"
Natalia, checkout http://adultvest.com/ It's only for people who "REALLY" have thier shit together as far as how to present, seal, and then execute their plans. I'm not lying either.
If you really believe Foot Fetish could be deserving of such venture capital, that would be the place I would start. They accept small to large size companies, but were focusing on mid size to large companies probably about 8-10 months ago.
Anyway, to answer the thread question, yeah most everything in online foot fetish offerings suck nowadays cuz we expect more and have been spoonfed too much in every aspect of our internet experiences (for better or worse)

Some of the small foot fetish sites are producing high quality images & clips with amazing looking models. I have no problem finding clips and pics that I like....but it probably depends on what you`re looking for. I´m not into fjs and shoe dangling.

Open the pod bay doors please HAL...

Theres no mystery. I'm a brutally honest, charming and attractive jerk. I refuse to pander to women because 1.) I'm too busy trying to stay ahead 2.) All the other guys do, I realize I can stand out by not being another pandering puss.

^ Georgie, I totally believe you on your 2nd point.
Anyway, WRT this thread question and the fact that you're in the know on how to get women to do what you want them to do, why the need for any virtual porn at all (good or sucky)?
Why not just get the girls in real life (by not pandering like most wussbags do in real life) and then your problem with FJ boredom is solved?
Sound good? Get to work man, and then share some of that good stuff here for us to see

A second thought....WHAT IF-the quality of the content has not gone down, but rather so many in here have had a love for feet for quite a while (had mine before jr.high) that maybe our standards have gotten pretty high?

_______________________________________________ Karas, I think you may be on to something. _______________________________________________
_______________________________________________ Tyler, I'm doing pretty well in the man whore department. Nevertheless, I like foot porn, almost as much as the real thing, sometimes more for a few reasons:
1.) I like candid dangling and dipping. I don't have time to be roaming around looking for candid footshows.
2.) Before I was ever getting any action I was watching porn, I just flat out like it. It satisfies me in a different way, more fantasy than reality. Even when I have a steady stream of ass on tap, I still watch porn, to a lesser extent though. Of course, like every guy, I have dry spells too. Having a porn collection then is self explanatory.
3.) Most girls suck at giving footjobs. Foot porn makes great primer for girls that have little or no experience giving footjobs. If I feel a chick can handle it, I will literally sit her down and leave her to watch a dozen or so of my fav clips. Usually before the clips end they will stop them and want to try it themselves. In most cases their skills improve dramatically.
I posted some pics a while back of my friend Allie, I trained her using clips of Alexis from Footalicious.com, no busllshit.
I also think it really helps for them to see some hot normal looking chick giving a footjob in a casual setting (like on a couch, or in a real bedroom). It seems to help ease their minds about the whole idea to see someone who looks like them enjoying the act, not some slutty looking pornstar, that would eat a turd for money, on a set. _______________________________________________
