The site's called ErosLife.com, and at first glance, it appears to be a standard tube site. But once users start clicking around, they'll find that it's a flexible marketplace for amateur and professional content producers to sell their wares.
As with most new sites, ErosLife.com comes equipped with the usual Web 2.0 bells and whistles, including a full social network, blogs, free image galleries and messaging.
But the site's main function is as an outlet for aspiring (or established) producers. Users can upload and organize clips to sell on the site, any of which can be promoted through a blog or RSS feed to a list of subscribers.
The site's upload tool automatically converts videos into streaming and iPhone-ready formats. Clients can allow surfers to watch 60-second video previews of any video.
ErosLife.com's Paco Ramone said that after 10 years in content production, he hadn't found an online content sales tool he liked, so he launched ErosLife.
"We feel that this new community site will open new channels of opportunities and revenues for content producers," he said. "It will also allow for content to evolve and improve through consumer input and ratings, and the social aspect of the site means that consumers may 'stick' on the site longer resulting in improved revenues for studios and affiliates alike."
