They WERE affiliates until we fell out. the traffic they sent was nothing much, I think a couple of sign ups in a month. Not enough for me to kiss his ass when I got kicked out for spamming his board in
threads asking for my models and content. So it does good for you then fine. But do you think I would not be nicer to him if his traffic was good for us. Even I'm not that stupid.
As for the "Some make it" theory I agree with you 100%. but not enough to bring it in house. The odds are not that good. I will agree that if someone works this hard enough in their spare time and has the right skills that can make a living.
What gets to me is all the guys spinning how much easier than it is in reality.
scottybuzz so you are the exception and an absolute wonder boy. Because if what you did in your first month, could be done by anyone there would not be the affiliate system there is. Think about it.
Wanton since when did you start calling sets that sell for $5,000 cheap content?
However it was you who said a company can get in a guy on the cheap to shoot. I was putting two things together. I have the possibility of taking on 5,000 square foot of light industrial space, I am re employing an ex shooter, Jana, who left to have a baby. So I could build a studio and shoot in it 5 days a week. Jana could shoot magazine standard. You know sets good enough to sell for $5,000.
Now the plan is if the client wants to pay $200 for a solo girl set+video scene, we shoot it fast and do 5-6 a day. If the client wants to pay $1,000 I pick up the camera.
Seriously I would shoot the better end and probably the boy girl and multi girl scenes. I still do have a bit of wind in my sails.
The clients decide what they want, the best content or the lowest price.
As for your comment about American accents, that is a problem. Do you want me to tell all the the over seas crews in Prague and Budapest they are wasting their time or will you.
