Diverxity
Anyone else get a message relating to this site? http://www2.diverxity.com/ Looks sort of like a Zivity clone to me..... Anyone use it yet? I took a brief look, nothing is available at the moment except uploading pictures... makes me think it may be a scam.. Feb 22 12 08:08 pm Link Aimed more at producing erotica than Zivity. Also, they claim we'll get most of the $$. I bookmarked it... Feb 22 12 08:15 pm Link I agree, same concept as Zivity... more adult(porn) oriented though. Any thoughts on the chances its a scam/rights grab? Feb 22 12 08:18 pm Link I didn't read the contract, but the info provided in the "content producer" page says we keep our copy rights and can pull content at any time. If they get an audience, could be well worth trying, but that's a big "if".... Feb 22 12 09:07 pm Link Zivity is not a growth market. I can't see how a new player in the game will make it any better. a greater percentage of something smaller is still.....small. Feb 22 12 09:12 pm Link AVD AlphaDuctions wrote: Good point... But maybe the "erotica" aspect will make it sell better? IDK....

Where as full on porn is accepted at diverxity(one of their set categories is group sex, lol). Feb 23 12 08:56 am Link AM Photography wrote: I guess thats my point. Art sells more than porn already so I cant see this being a growth market (even with group sex if you will pardon the pun). Feb 23 12 09:03 am Link I am trying to understand this sight not sure how the consumer or distributer or distribution is involved. Feb 23 12 09:06 am Link I think this site will be a winner. It fills the gap that Zivity left out. It may legitimize a new way to deliver porn into the mainstream of WORLD. It is just like iPod to music world. Feb 23 12 09:10 am Link Hey Guys - My name is Lou and I am one of the founders of Diverxity. We are *just* in the process of coming out of "stealth mode." We're not even fully out as you can tell by the "www2" But I'm glad to see all the discussion! This is why community is such an important thing. So a couple things - 1) this is definitely *not* any sort of scam. I've been a tech entrepreneur my entire career and a serious amateur photographer for over a decade. You can see my background @ http://www.linkedin.com/in/lgiacalone. 2) This is not intended to be a Zivity clone. I like Zivity a lot, have been on there for a while, but frankly, there's just not much money flowing through it. Our intent is to have a much broader swath of content, including full on stuff - because honestly, that's what the majority of people who pay to subscribe to sites want to see. We believe that's how we get the money into the community. Our research (lots of surveys) has shown that if given a preference to subscribe to a place that is supporting the artists and talent primarily and is committed to being socially responsible, that they would choose to spend their $$ in such a place. We shall see, right? Our system is designed that you'll get a portion of any users $$ that look at your content. Period. Now if they look at "everything" then yes, your slice would be small, sure. But this is about creating a large community and therefore if all goes as planned the "nickels and dimes" add up. This is in contrast to Zivity where you're essentially trying to beg a few dollars from a thousand active fans. Also I find it interesting that many of the most successful Zivity artists are relying on "upselling" more erotic pictures as "incentives" to get those extra dollars. Why make it so convoluted. Just give the people what they want I say! We're doing a quick meet and greet tour to start a dialog with everyone. And We're trying to hit a lot of cities because we want to assure folks that we're real and nothing substitutes for meeting someone in person and looking them in the eye. I am in Portland today 2/23 and tomorrow 2/24. In SF Bay Area Sun/Mon/Tues 2/26-28. LA/OC Thurs/Fri/Sat March 1-3, and Vegas Sun/Mon March 4/5. My email is [email protected]. Hope to get to work with all of you! We're all in this together! Best regards, --Lou Feb 23 12 10:53 am Link See ya when you come to Vegas. Love the idea. Feb 23 12 11:02 am Link Its good to hear from you, thanks for chiming in! I that I had more notice for the meetup in Portland, I may have been able to make it. Looks like a great concept, and I will be checking it out for sure. iseekbeauty wrote: Feb 23 12 11:22 am Link iseekbeauty wrote: Don't forget about Philly or Baltimore. Feb 23 12 11:24 am Link I met Lou and Chiva today after their Los Angeles meet and greet. I think Diverxity is going to be a great opportunity for many photographers and models out there. They made it very clear that hardcore work was in no way a requirement, and they are making sure the producer and the model agree on the split of the money they make so it's not as lopsided as other websites have been. I've signed up, and I hope other people do too (especially as you get extra income from referrals, so more and more people are encouraged to join). They are still in the process of getting set up, but I'm really excited about this (and they haven't asked me to come on here and say anything, I'm just sharing my own experiences and what I've gleaned from speaking to them for a few hours). That said... my user name is SophieNova. If you sign up and want to use me as your referral, I wouldn't mind Mar 03 12 11:00 pm Link Signed up using SophieNova as a reference. Looks promising. Mar 03 12 11:03 pm Link Sophie, it was a pleasure meeting you guys!

Mar 05 12 11:51 am Link I just signed up as MarcioSantos. But it seems we can't see any work yet... Or we have to pay to see others work?

Mar 25 13 10:48 pm Link I love diverxity!! Lyndsey_love is my name there! The site is worth checking out! May 01 13 01:45 am Link ontherocks wrote: Agreed.

The pyramid scheme (aka MLM) aspects of the referral scheme are bothering me, so I haven't signed up, but thinking about it.

They seem rather real from the site and from the zivity forums but I'm still waiting for "payout". Here's mine http://www.diverxity.com/BuffalosDahl?r=61457 Oct 05 17 05:53 am Link |
