12 Questions from ZombieGirl of FetishPaysMe.com

1. How long have you been in the adult industry?

ZombieGirl : It's 4 years now... so I still consider myself a newbie compared to all the old schoolers.

2. Can you give our readers a little background about yourself. What did you do before you got in this business?

ZombieGirl : Well, I've done a lot of things; I used to submit galleries, free sites, make directories, SEO, AVS sites, TGP's & fake TGPs, just like general affiliate marketing stuff & generating traffic all across the board. I have worked for others for short periods, as a sales rep & affiliate manager/marketing; I took those jobs to make contacts with more people in the industry & push myself to become more social on the boards & during shows.

For my day job (which I quit in March 2004) I used to be an undercover loss prevention officer, y'know, those guys that would bust shoplifters in dept stores?? It was a lot more than that, we were in charge of internal theft prevention, installing CCTV systems, implementing existing & new security systems for the stores, educating sales staff members on our policies. Pretty much if anything went wrong, like the elevator got stuck or someone locked their keys in the counter, they're like "call Maja, she'll know what to do!" It was a super fun job, I miss hanging out with my coworkers and fucking the dog all the time... and I miss the fights & chases, LOL.

3. How did your previous job/profession help you in what you do today?

ZombieGirl : Uh, it didn't at all! My day job as a store dick taught me how to deal with all types of people, think on the spot, understand liability, write clear & concise police reports & how to fight dirty. I guess those are all nice life skills to have.

4. What are your hobbies, when you aren't working online, what do you like to do to unwind and have fun?

ZombieGirl: I like skateboarding and snowskating; I just started last year so I'm not that great but I try to practice as much as I can. There's so much to do around the house, like gardening, cleaning, cooking plus taking care of Chicklet the Wundertard (my pomeranian) trickedtofuck.com Living at the lake I do a lot of hiking, hanging at the beach & harrassing/spying on the neighbors & other outdoorsy stuff. I try to read a lot, watch horror movies & try to not get addicted to reality TV shows.

5. Can you tell us about your website – what it is and what fetishpaysme.com offers?

ZombieGirl: Well, I got bored of submitting galleries & generating traffic for other programs so I decided to make some pay sites in niches I was very familiar with & knew where the good traffic is. I picked niches that I know very well & also knew that they were very desperate for new & well done video sites.

ineed2pee is a female desperation & wetting video site, really focusing on the "reality" aspect of it plus true desperation. It's the only mega-girl wetting site filmed with North American women! I try to put emphasis on good scenarios & good acting.

adultbabygirl is an AB/DL (adult baby/diaper lover) site. What makes it stand out is the length of the "reality style" videos compared to the other AB/DL sites who focus more on pictures. And of course the acting of all the great models & the kick ass props & clothing ( I sewed all the goddamn outfits myself!).

cameltoetease focuses on tight clothing, spandex & camel toes. A lot of other "cameltoe" sites only have like five seconds of panty toe followed by a hardcore scene & not all surfers are into hardcore all the time. This site really is about the tease & the clothing worn.

6. How do you handle the processing portion of your site?

ZombieGirl: That's been tough, since they deal with issues that a lot of CC processors aren't too cool with, like age-play & pee. For instance, I can't use CCbill because they would want the girls smiling as they were peeing their pants. I would not have nearly as many members if I did that, since who the hell is smiling as they're having a "real" accident in public?? A lot of processors have tightened up content restrictions (especially with pee) & fortunately Verotel & Paymonde aren't one of them. Verotel is EU based & can do SMS, Asian cards, 1-900 which is great since 50% of my member base is NOT from North America, so it's important to have billing solutions for them, Granted, I would have more affiliates if I could use a bigger company but the great thing is that I'm not dependant on affiliates to drive traffic to my sites. I've got the most important, relevant traffic guys on board already & the bottom line is... if you're into those fetishes, you're gonna find me.

7. You have some pretty unique microniche sites, that are not all that uncommon (as the industry changes almost hourly.) Where do you find models for your sites?

ZombieGirl: Thanks for thinking their not that uncommon... a lot of mainstream webmasters don't really get it, lol. I shoot & edit everything myself since they are such specific niches & the models must be prepped well to know what to do, what to say, how to say it, etc. I shoot everything in Vancouver & I pretty much know almost everyone in the "scene" there. Back in 2003 I started a local area industry/ resource/gossip site vancouverporn.com so that's a good place to meet everyone. My sites don't involve hardcore & barely any nudity so the models are happy to do something different like this. I've encountered a couple who have difficulty peeing their pants, but for the most part, they think it's so easy.

8. Where do you see the fetishpaysme.com web site going next week, a year, 5+ years down the road from now?

ZombieGirl: I'd like to have at least a couple more carefully chosen niche sites out. The existing sites pretty much run themselves & it would be easy just to sit back, update regularly & relax, but I don't want to fall into that rut again. I want to make the existing sites more interactive with the models, since they are developing such a solid fan base & I want to keep them recurring for years. Yes, the retention has been great so far.
I really need to hire someone, because there is no way I can shoot, edit, design, maintain it myself if I start more pay sites. I also do retail DVD sales on the site & through a US distributor right now. I'd like to further the tangible market globally (since the peeing/wetting fetish is VERY big in EU & Japan) and also look for new ways to get the content out there, via mobile, VOD, etc.

9. What is your favorite part about working in this business?

ZombieGirl: The freedom to live where I want & to schedule my time as I wish, which is priceless of course. All the friendships & innovative, smart people I've met throughout the biz have also been invaluable. I love the tight adult scene in Vancouver, BC & how everyone gets along for the most part & going to conventions are always fun.

10. What is your least favorite part about working in this business?

ZombieGirl: Keeping yourself self motivated to improve and expand is hard at times; you really gotta kick yourself in the ass when you start to get lazy, otherwise nothing will get done properly. It's way too easy to relax & stop moving forward, getting stuck in a rut.

11. What would you say are the biggest obstacle(s) facing in the adult industry today?

ZombieGirl: Other than what everyone is complaining about with Bush and his Christian, right wing agenda? And other than worrying about where Visa is wanting to take adult related business in the future, due to real or perceived pressure from the right wing, Christian fanatic government? Those are things that everyone is worried about so I'm going to say the BIGGEST obstacle is the mainstream media. That is the strongest influence on society as a whole today. MOST people don't think & make decisions for themselves based on individual encounters... They watch/listen to the media for education from day one as a little kid & they are taught to do that. And when the mainstream media shows "porn" & sex as seedy, unethical, dirty and they lump CP into consenting adults videos. Fictional (and non-fiction) movies & TV shows will always portray people in the adult industry as "bad," unmoral, taking advantage of people or being taken advantage of, uneducated and seedy. Those images brainwash people so when they hear "porn" they automatically think CP, or something weird like that, which makes it so much easier for them to follow when the government takes an active stand against the industry. If North America was more sex-positive & taught that sexuality is OK (like in EU & the UK) then standards would change... slowly.

12. Any new projects in the near future you would like to share with our readers?

ZombieGirl: I'm already about 3 projects behind. I'm still doing my SEO stuff & I'll be coming out with a few more traffic generation sites (as an affiliate). I am planning a couple of gay sites in the same niches soon, ever since the biggest gay peeing/wetting site has closed it's doors, it's time for me to take over.
