How Many Updates Must a Charm Have

This is something a lot of new charms would obviously like to know. I know when I first started I wondered if there was a "Magic" number of updates that I would get to where I would see a significant increase in my membership. Please take a look at the answers above and pick the one closest to your thinking. If you have any comments, feel free to chime in. I have made it so you can choose two answers here, so if the number of updates a charm has does play a roll in your decision, please pick the number answer that is closest to your minimum.

I was just commenting on something like this a few moments ago. Worse thing a fan can do is join a site and the Charm never or seldom updates. There are current 74 Charms on the All Charms list that have updated 10 times or less, and only a few are newbie. I can think of dozens more who came in set the site on fire and left like a shooting star. So I have a rule of must have at least 50 updates. I mentioned my comment. That once or twice a year, there could be a chance to get membership to 5 of these Charms say for 9.99, maybe 12.99.

You have an interesting take on things DDD. I don't think you'll ever see a bundle sale, I'm sure it would take buy-in from the all the charms and the accounting would be a nightmare for SC to keep track of. I've only been on here about 4 years now, but I can tell you that you only get out of this site what you put into it and it's not easy work, especially if you want to present good content. I'd estimate that my husband and I work about 12 hours a week between shooting and editing. That's on top of regular jobs and normal, non-naked life. If we didn't have some fun friends that enjoyed helping us, we'd probably update a lot less.

As for not updating regularly, A few professional models do Southern-Charms in addition to other sites. Updating frequently may not be a viable option, especially if they don't have a regular photographer. I also think some women expect to make more money starting out, get disenchanted in the first month or two, and quit early. It's a shame, because it takes a while to build a following.

My suggestion to you would be pick out a couple of charms that tickle your fancy and reach out to them with some words of encouragement. Help them with ideas. Offer to tip them if they do a a theme that you'd like to see. When SC has a holiday sale, splurge on the charm you'd most like to see get to 50 updates. The sad truth is that if everyone waits for a charm to get to 50 updates, she'll quit before she gets there. New charms need patrons :YMHUG:

How about a weekly or monthly amount? What about videos?
