Hi All, We're currently paying around $175 a month to keep 500 of my 707 wet and films in the store with the correct card facilities,security etc Since restarting work after my illness I'm doing great business with making customs and doing sessions (plus I accept the one's I enjoy!) and I have got the buzz back for getting pied,gunged etc I'm also doing loads of foot fetish shoots and bondage shoot. So as far as having the films on the site and the work involved with it I think I may as well just transfer everything into my UMD Store over the next few years and just release new stuff on the ready made platform of the UMD Store. So there are going to be about 450 to 550 of my films not available instantly for a while. The topless/nude one's will be fully gone by my little girl's 10th birthday which is October 20th 2018 (even off the UMD Store) and basically every producer I've worked for has agreed to remove my topless scenes by the same date. I just want to thank those producers for their superb attitude towards me and for putting my mental health first over business. I'll be eternally grateful. Anyway if you ever wanted anything off the site that isn't in the UMD Store suggest you get it in the next two weeks. If you want to bulk buy (7 or more) message me on here and we'll sort a good discount for you. Separate to this there are the current offers on UMD,new films to launch every month for the next few months and more being filmed so I'm still very active,just making the business more cost effective. We also may have a little business opportunity for current producers,new producers or those who have never produced who want to get a bit of potential income back from their WAM interest. I'll post about that separately. I'm going to be running some competitions too with prizes so watcxh this space. On a personal note it's my birthday tonight and Mike has given me my first ever 'birthday week' which has been AMAZING! So life is much better at MJ studio's and I'm delighted to be staying in the business. Love Jessie xxx P.S. Here's a few photo's from my unreleased scenes that are on the way to the UMD Store this year!
I like the move to UMD. Your site has been great, running a website is a lot of work. I think selling on UMD will save some of that headache from you. I am glad you are still making videos and that the recovery process is going so well. I am glad you have Mike, he seems like such a great influence and a good person to have around to promote your well being.
On a bright note...happy birthday! Since it's on a Friday, you have the whole weekend to celebrate.
Get two cakes -- one for the party, and one to "have fun" with.
Take care.
It's ok Deadpool I'm not leaving,in fact I'm coming here to Messmaster (who has been great by the way) and UMD more than ever. We'd rather pay commission to UMD and give discounts to you guys than pay a server company and have a load of complicated work to do!
Yes my birthday 'started' on Monday (Mike picked me up in a helicopter!!!) and it goes on until Monday night! I've had about 30 pies/cakes in the face this week already too! Ha!Ha!
Not sure why I'm getting private messages asking why I'm leaving the UMD etc when we're not and in fact doing the opposite of that and transferring the business from the stand alone website to the UMD!
Happy birthday Jessie. It's never a great thing to see another site or store shut down. But it's exciting to anticipate what you'll do with the freed time! I'm looking forward to helping you move your content over and working with you to develop your stores over the coming months. Now let's go!!!
Good luck Jessie I totally respect your decision and hope everything works out for you. You have been a fantastic contributor of top class materiel for years and you do not need to be topless to create some of the best clips ever seen on UMD as your beauty and personality shine through, your natural fun approach makes anything you do worth watching.
Cheers, Yamtree
Wouldnt mind love but will take anything I can get
Oh Messmaster and Yamtree, Thankyou so much for your lovely comments. I've got tears in my eyes and it means more than you'll ever know to me to thought of in this way. The relief I'm feeling at the thought of the big scary website I don't understand how to use properly going and everything going into UMD is huge. It's like a massive weight off my tiny shoulders. Mike told me a year ago to do this but I couldn't let go of the site mentally but I can see now it's just not needed. Thankyou again. I really part of the UMD again. Love Jessie xxx
Obviously I'm not a producer and don't know about these things, but for what it's worth I'd've thought that unless there's a monetary benefit in not doing so, hosting films on a hosting site such as this seems more straightforward than having a bespoke one yourself.
That being said, a personalised webpage url which directs straight to a umd store would possibly be a good thing to differentiate yourself from other producers. www.fredbloggs.com looks more unique and standalone than quoting umd.com/fredbloggs (or what have you) directly to people.
We used to be a monthly membership site In the days when my boyfriend was a web designer and we were filming 2/3 days a week. The website was designed for that sort of volume and it was worth the customers staying members for lots of new content. However the overheads were huge and hiring loads of different models who were expensive and some were really unreliable so shoots were often cancelled. Then as circumstances changed less new content went on the site so people didn't renew. So the monster server then just sat there like a library waiting for people to buy the films. Without promotion the films don't sell so we had to put prices up to reflect the costs of running it. So now having the platform on UMD with all its gadgets etc instead is great for us plus Mike has dramatically made the customs and sessions experience miles better for me and actually miles better for the customers who are never let down and are getting a better product from me because I don't have to organise everything. So it's going to be great I think!
This is a really good decision and overall strategy for you Jessie. I am sure in time to come things will be much easier for you.Good luck with it all. Jane

Just thought you should all know we have reached agreement now with all the WAM producers I've done topless/nude for to remove/edit those scenes by 20th Oct 2018 so there is loads of time to buy any of them you've missed. I'm certainly going to carry on offering good value bundles and others may do the same. Please buy these scenes from everyone with my blessing and knowing I want you to enjoy them and keep them. I'm happy they are going,the producers are happy they have loads of time to sell and hopefully you guys are happy you have loads of time to buy. Jessie x
Thankyou Deathstroke that is lovely to hear. The Davina days were epic fun. I have a lot of messages about the Davina scenes and we're working on a Vintage Davina bundle that should be out next month.
Thankyou Matt. I'm actually looking forward to the website going. We have all the data off it now so it'll be a luxury not having to work on it and still have stuff for sale in the UMD
