Crowd-Funded Erotic Content

Offbeatr Uses Donations to Get Creative Adult Projects Made

— August 19, 2012 — Naughty
It's not a good idea to check out Offbeatr if you happen to be at work or seated next to your significant other. This crudely named website is similar to Kickstarter in that it seeks donations to help struggling projects get off the ground. Where it differs from Kickstarter is the fact that Offbeatr caters solely towards erotic projects.

Erotic projects include films, novels and everything in between. The site works in almost the exact same way as Kickstarter, with a project page layout that is eerily similar. The site may seem silly, but it fills a niche that has so far been neglected. Offbeatr appears to be in its infancy, but there seems to be a realistic shot that it could grow into something big. Creatives who work with their clothes on aren't the only ones who need funding.
Trend Themes
1. Crowd-funded Erotic Content - Disruptive innovation: Opportunity for creators in the adult entertainment industry to seek alternative funding through crowdfunding platforms.
2. Erotic Projects - Disruptive innovation: Opportunity for artists and entrepreneurs to explore new avenues of expression and monetization in the adult content industry.
3. Neglected Niche - Disruptive innovation: Opportunity for businesses to capitalize on an untapped market by offering tailored support and services for creative adult projects.
Industry Implications
1. Adult Entertainment - Disruptive innovation: Opportunity for the adult entertainment industry to adopt new fundraising models and attract a wider range of creators and consumers.
2. Crowdfunding - Disruptive innovation: Opportunity for crowdfunding platforms to expand their offerings and cater to niche markets by providing specialized support for adult projects.
3. Creative Industries - Disruptive innovation: Opportunity for creative industries to embrace alternative funding options and push the boundaries of artistic expression in the realm of adult content.
