Maybe it's a matter of having face-to-face meetings and doing more networking. Have you been to any shows?

that's not it at all - it's just prices, they all want a Mercedes for the price of a Ford.
and no doubt interracial.com bought some stuff off him exactly because they know affiliates would be impressed and start promoting - once that is done there's no reason for them to keep spending the $2,900 per scene cuz they've already hooked the affiliates into believing. order 10 scenes of the good stuff to impress then go get 100 DVD's for 100-200 dollars a pop and nobody is the wiser. maybe they found a much cheaper shooter to shoot exclusives for them cheaper. there are ways to cut corners where you can sell for less $2,900 and make a modest profit - get rid of the location cost, the makeup cost, shoot multiple scenes in a day, use male talent that works for 200 bucks rather than 500 dollars etc
it's an expensive proposition to run exclusive content sites - 4 shoots a month x $2-3,000 each - the great programs like NastyDollars, Bangbros, FTVGirls, Twistys, DDGirls, etc do it week in week out, month in month out, year in year out.
