You might as well be a content supplier if you can do all that.
Or you could get people like Mutt or us to shoot exclusive at $2 a picture. Then not only do you own the set but also you can use it as you wish.
Exclusive is not the only point, it?s also down to quality and Amateur still has to have the ?right? quality to it. And unless you have a very big budget you will need to put some non-exclusive in their to fill the site. You do not want a site that a guy can look at in a week and a half.

When it comes to finding talent, my approach is different than others. I'm young enough to hit the clubs/bars, so I've been fortunate. Not everyone can do what I do and I admit it... but I think you're being hypocritical. If you see a hot girl walking somewhere or out shopping, you're not gonna give her a biz card. Don't BS a Bullshitter!!!
Oh yea, I opened my site with just 3 girls and I've built it up. Shit, I've still got members from 2001 and a few of them have been with me since day 1. I speak with many of them thru aol/icq, which very few webmasters do. As far as retention, just ask the people that push ANY of my sites, I retain well. Alot of customers don't want quantity, they prefer quality. Llike I said before, I'm the exception, not the norm
