How much? Forget how much you may think she is worth - instead, what is the project worth on a spreadsheet and can $X be viable to pay a model if she has signup appeal - then the gamble starts when the acid test time arrives to see if she actually has appeal reflected in signups...
Others may think differently, but suggest dump any ideas of percentages of profits - tho whatever the deal, both parties need to earn fairly.
Another angle is whether the girl already has a successful modeling track record and a fan following, which suggests three things - (a) she is tolerable to shoot and (b) has some appeal else there would be no "fans" and (c) her fan-appeal may help with revenue generation. There are plenty girls who are relatively successful and keen to have someone take them on. We have only worked with girls who have reasonable track records and fan following, and who can demonstrate continuity for ongoing shoots/updating. Newcomers really need to be proven, else the webmaster carries all the risk of wasting time and money on em. Cute fluttering eyelashes only go so far  |
Newcomers are what the solo girl teen niche is all based on. They are all a risk and 75% of them are pure headaches - you have to just accept that.
there's no way of predicting accurately how a girl will do other than a few who just stand out. i hear people say put them in a members area of a multi model site and see what the reaction is - this does sound like a pretty good idea but i still think you could go into a site like ATK and poll their members for their favorite models and it wouldn't much improve the accuracy of forecasting how those girls might do with a solo site.
