Christina Discussion thread

And her site closes without a bang - but with a yawn.

The saddest part is that she had a solid month to get a new website up and running, load it with content and have people directed to the new website and sign up there.

Did she do any of that? Nope.

Now there's no website and she will very quickly lose fans who are going to lose interest real, real fast.

She could've scooped up each and every customer and start pocketing 100% of the monthly subscriptions right now instead of just the 50% she's been getting.

I truly do not believe how completely stupid this girl is. If she SCRAMBLES to get a new website up like THIS WEEK she's still in the game.

It's not just that she's incredibly stupid, she also is against any and all support for some reason. Is it Stockholm Syndrome or something? Did Charles drill into her head the past 10+ years that everyone else is out to screw her and to only listen to him? It's insane how she stayed with him for so long when she could have made more money being on MFC or by cutting out Charles and setting up her own site by asking friends like Stephi or SalinaFord how they made their own website outside of the decrepit, grimy clutches of Charles. At this point if she does start her own website I won't have any hopes for it since her only content will be rejected sets and videos from Charles, which if it wasn't good enough for Charles then it makes you wonder how bad they could be considering what he's used on the old website. Even worse, she's going to be pregnant for awhile and frankly, preggo pics/vids are a niche/fetish type of thing and not everyone is gonna want to see that. And to top all of that bad news off there's the massive gamble toward how her body will react post-pregnancy. Remember Ellie and how her pregnancy completely and utterly destroyed her perfect body? There's also how terribly the original Missy aged after her first pregnancy (she even got knocked up again and things got even worse) and how many years and cosmetic surgeries and work-outs it took Stephi to kind of salvage what her pregnancy did to her body. Hell, the second Missy never even went back to modeling after her pregnancy and neither did Halee, although Halee might have had some other personal problems that caused her to bail on Charles when he was going to relaunch HaleeModel.com. I guess the silver lining would be how Nikki/NDN recovered from her pregnancy somewhat unscathed (she has lopsided boobs now but it isn't awful). I dunno, I think this is the end and it's probably for the better.

If she's alone in this new phase of her working life, and I mean she lacks an agent, a photographer and a webmaster (all-in-one or three different), she'll never EVER open a new site. And we all know that.

She needs directions. She's always needed directions, and especially now that she's will be soon a mom.

If this don't sound very optimistic it's because I am not.

Neither am I. She's got to hook up with a webmaster that will keep everything on track and public content regularly.

The webmaster will probably need to keep on her to put out new videos. I would skip the picture thing entirely and just pull stills from the videos.

All told I think her best bet will be a cam website like MFC or LiveJasmin,. She can sign in whenever she wants and if she notices there's no money coming in she'll be automatically reminded to get back in front of a camera and spread her pussy to resume cash flow.

Excellent point. Her body might be a wreck after pregnancy. It COULD happen but that doesn't mean it's going to. Lots of women have 2 or 3 or even more **** and still have smoking hot bodies.

Look at Wifey for example.....

Duke

But Wifey takes care of her body, she *works* hard to keep her stuff interesting and relevant.. Christina doesn't look much like a hard worker.

Odds of seeing a new site up and running? very low...
Odds of it having interesting content? Even lower.

True. Then too wifey has more business sense in her right pinky toe than Christina has in her entire body. Hubby being a proven businessman only helped to make them both millionaires and set for a posh life as long as they live.

I said it before and I'll say it again - We should get the Harvard Business School to do a thorough case study on Christina from the standpoint of how you can have all the assets you need to win the world and still produce an epic failure if rational business practices are ignored.

Seriously? Considering that it takes people who already run multiple sites longer than a month (from idea to launch) to start a new one, I'll give her a pass on this one. Not to mention that she sure as hell has never shown that she has the ability to run a site herself, so she'll have to find somebody else to do it, which just might take more than 5 minutes.

Also, she has to make sure that she has competent management this time or she might as well just quit.

Pretty sure her new "management" is going to be the guy that knocked her up so it's anyone's guess how savvy the guy is in regards to setting up this type of website and maintaining it.

Yes, seriously.

A web designer can be located, interviewed and hired in an hour or less. On her own Twitter feed she had multiple people come forward and volunteer to help her build a new website weeks ago.

A website of roughly the same quality as the current one can be built in roughly a week - from domain name registration to hosting account setup to setting up the payment system to actual design of the website. While the web designer does that Christina can shoot movies and have fresh content ready to load.

If she started today her new website could be up and running - I'm talking fully operational - this same time next week.

From there things become more complicated, true. You're right that she needs management to keep the website on track, fresh content coming on a regular basis. The website designer could also manage it by uploading and publishing new content, generating new preview pictures, handling billing inquiries, etc.

My point is - it CAN be done but I agree with you that it probably won't be done. And if she does get her new website up and running without a manager AND a competent website professional it's going to be dead on arrival. I'm talking crash and burn.

One thing I think people forget is that Christina probably got the webmaster she deserved. Not trying to be mean, just factual. Charles, whatever his faults gave Christina her start, discovered the "talent" (guessing on that part) and managed it throughout the years, having to tolerate the simple fact Christina didn't want to work hard or generate any of her own ideas. She's also never really seemed to want to take her sexuality to the next level. Every step towards X-rated seemed like watching a small **** dipping their toe into cold water, and taking an hour or so before finally diving in. As it was Christina, that "dive" usually lasted about 30 seconds before running back to shore. Even when she's entered the X-rated world, all she does now is little more than masturbate in ways that sort of partially block her pussy! That's it. Dropping her live shows and never reviving them was the truest example of not having the head or the heart to truly try and make her site a must-subscribe for anyone.

So, blame Charles all you want, and dream of a site where things were different or what could have been, but I'm not sure Christina could have been more than what she was. In fact, if someone had convinced her to do more, it's likely HE would have been the manipulative one. Think about it. If Christina came to you and got you to try and run a site for her starting point would be:

1. No web cams. Nu-uh. That's means having to work EVERY week!
2. No more than 4-6 shoots a year
3. At best, occasional and sporadic tweets
4. No special promotions, contests, shows
5. No real sex scenes
6. No explicit hardcore shoots
6a. Lesbo shoots have to be strictly softcore. No panty removal. no dildos. No finger insertions. No passion of ANY sort

She hasn't done webcams in years. Has she even done a girl-girl softcore kissy topless scene in the last year or two?

This is what she was comfortable with doing. Crank out a few self-shot vids on her bed she does an afternoon, get a photoshoot vacation occasionally, check her twitter every 3 days - 3 weeks. Post, at best, a selfie or an occasional bikini pic. Miss releasing videos because of occasional bouts of "sickness" even though she only works a few hours a month. That's your model. Now, make her site sensational!

it is not hard to get a site going. There are plenty of sites that will do all the work and host your page; all the model has to do is just send in content every week. http://www.ellinude.com/ uses Dreamnet.

I'm sure she could make more $$ if she did it all herself but then she'd have to deal with the business and perhaps another Ahole manager...

Baring that, in just a couple hours, before the end of the week she could (should) register a domain, set up a 'coming soon' page there, and start advertising that adress on her current site...

Now that this won't happen what will she do for marketing? Talk about it on her twitter where 5 people will read it? Yeah sounds like a plan.
Actually, I'm sure this will eventually be enough to get the word going but that shows how little planning go into all this.. I'll be very surprised if she get anything up be another month, if at all.

Well, don't forget that she's pregnant. I sincerely doubt that she'll launch a new site with new material while the countdown for her maternity is 1 or 2 months...

After the birth of her baby she'll hopefully start to make new pics and vids, and in the meantime -hopefully again- her new webmaster will prepare the new site.

I fear that we'll have news about that in october or november.

Why all the world is talking about Christina beeing pregnant? I looked at her twitterpage but didn´t find any news about this...
