Teen Modeling Sites.

She's got all the makings of the perfect woman. All the right curves, perfectly shaped legs, perfect skin... Expect when you see her baby face and realize... Holy S, she's 15... Hence the Teen Modeling Sites. They are quite possibly the second biggest non-nude commodity on the internet. Legend has it, it all started with the video of some girls birthday party that logged in thousands of hits in one week.

The market reached it's peak somewhere in 2000 to 2001 although I don't have the figures that represent how many websites there were at one time. However, every media outlet in the country that found out about this ran a story. Most of them citing what perverts built the sites and what even bigger perverts viewed them. I'll give them the second one, but that's it.

Modern day parents all want their daughters to be little stars. Fine. However, in attempt to do so, they purchase a digital camera, sexy little outfits - ranging from miniskirts to lingerie, hire a webmaster and produce a website that gets about 50,000 hits a day.

You pay a webmaster enough money, he'll design whatever you want. Parents take all the responsibility for this. Sure the money rolls in and within a year you have enough money to put little Susie through college... But have you ever thought about who your target audience is?

Boys your daughter's age don't have a credit card. Mom and Dad aren't going to buy him a subscription, because, that's just wrong and creepy. So your audience is over 18. Statistics show that the buyer is an average age of 42.

So because of the media hype, Visa won't offer services for subscription. The sites are now limited to online checking, phone cards, or other payment services. But you know something? This isn't going away... Not on your life.
