Shelley and Rich have been in the game for quite some time; true veterans. Being in the content end myself, I couldn't help but get this interview stamped on our Cozy pages! I came across their service a short while back and was impressed with what they had to offer. One hell of a package including a solid roaster of products for one low price you can't afford to overlook. That brings us to this exclusive with Shelley from ContentCabinet.com. Truly enjoyed doing this interview...
C-Pimp: Tell us a bit about yourself, you got first stepped into this industry and what duties keep ya busy over at ContentCabinet.com?
Shelley: Well, to make a very, very long story short, I met my husband and business partner, Rich, when he owned and ran an adult BBS. We actually met “online” before anyone really knew what “online” meant. We've been evolving in the business ever since then. As far as what keeps me busy… everything! I review, approve, edit and prepare content. I take care of our advertising on other sites and the advertising that we offer on our free services. I design logos and pay sites and post to TGP's, and if there's enough time left over I try to hit up some of the webmaster boards.
C-Pimp: How did the idea for ContentCabinet first arise? How long has it been servicing webmasters online?
Shelley: We actually created the first free video content service for webmasters back in 1996 in the form of a video chat service, and the first free xxx image database. Since then we have continually evolved with the ever-changing world of adult content.
C-Pimp: Can you please give our readers a quick brief on ContentCabinet, what it has to offer in terms of content and it's specialties?

"Anytime a webmaster has requested a niche, we've been able to fulfill it, and that is our goal." |
Shelley: We offer a bit of everything, and anything that we don't offer yet is in the actual Content Cabinet in my office waiting to be edited. Anytime a webmaster has requested a niche, we've been able to fulfill it, and that is our goal. Over the last year or so we've tried to migrate more towards video services, and less toward still images. Our latest video offerings utilize our own streaming server, TransStream, which provides the reliability of real time streams with the quality of progressive encoded files. We are also starting to offer multi-format options with all of our new services.
C-Pimp: Now you guys keep it very simple when it comes to pricing, all your packages and services for one low price of only $299. Talk about no hassle and a definite good deal. How many individual products are included with the all inclusive package?
Shelley: Currently there are 21 individual products in our package. We offer the entire thing for $299, and that includes any updates and new content – for life. Obviously, as we add products we will most likely increase the price of our package, but our policy is to grandfather in our current customers at whatever their current price is, and they will always get all of our new products. New webmasters can try it free for a month and see how it works out on their site before they commit, and even after that it's only month-to-month. We've stayed completely away from bandwidth charges and “per member” charges because we don't feel that it is fair to charge webmasters upwards of $10.00 for something we pay less than a penny for (a gigabyte of data transfer). Our pricing structure is designed so that we can make a profit, not a killing. ;-)
C-Pimp: Is all the content, whether it be pictures or video, produced in-house or via a third party content producer?
Shelley: Honestly, we don't have time to produce our own content. We have some very good relationships with major label producers that provide us with all of our content. We also edit content for other content companies.
C-Pimp: Tell us a bit about your free products. What kind of restrictions apply to them, if any and what do they have to offer?
Shelley: Restrictions? We don't have any. We have a 3 free video services – a 500 channel hardcore video service, a 50 channel foot fetish service, and a 50 channel vintage video service. They are completely free to put on any site – free site, pay site, AVS, TGP, it doesn't matter to us. We don't even care if it's loaded in frames or a new browser.
C-Pimp: How often are your products updated?
Shelley: Our biggest product, the 20,000 channel video database, is updated every weekday. There are about 12,000 additional video clips already edited and ready to be added, and we try to add 20 per day. Our latest major content addition is our 1,000 channel hardcore video service that offers the videos in 4 different video formats and 3 different speeds. We expect to launch our next product in about 2 weeks. We try to add at least one new product to the All-Inclusive package per month.
C-Pimp: According to you, what's the toughest problem Content Providers have to face in today's online adult market?
Shelley: I would have to say that one of the biggest problems we have is over exposure to adult content by the web surfers. I remember back when a cum shot was totally taboo, and you could get people in the door because you had that content. Now the web surfers are practically immune to the hardest hardcore that we have to offer. We have seen in the last few months the extremes that some content companies are willing to go to just to satisfy the latest craze, even if it pushes legal limits.
C-Pimp: What other services or products do you currently offer or have planned in the near future?
Shelley: While I am working hard on editing content and getting it ready for deployment, Rich has his teeth sunk into our newest broadband video delivery product at TransStream.com.
C-Pimp: How does the setup process work for webmasters joining your content program? How long does a webmaster have to wait once his order has been processed to have your roaster up and running on his/her site?
Shelley: Rich handles the setup of each and every domain and works with each webmaster personally, and it's generally taken care of in just a couple of hours. The time frame, of course, depends a lot on how skilled the webmaster is. We get a lot of newbie webmasters that pick up our content simply because Rich took the time to help them hook it up on their site. The free trial setup is super easy because we don't ask for any payment information, just the domain that is going to be authorized.
C-Pimp: Before, we go, what piece of advice do you have for many of our newbie readers looking to get into the online adult business?
Shelley: Expect to work, work, and then work some more. This is truly a business that gives you back what you put into it. Get as much content as you can afford, and continually add to it.
C-Pimp: Well, that just about does it for this one, I personally want to thank you on behave of the entire Cozy team for taking some time off to do this interview. Any last comments before we close this up?
Shelley: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I can't tell you what an honor it is to be picked to do an interview with you. I'm happy to say that Cozy Frog is one of my daily stops. I hope everyone takes advantage of our free trial offer; it's a great deal!
