I bought a Brazilian production company a few years back and own 52 full titles with 2257. i use that exclusive content for www.Brazilianbitches.com and i have some up on Hot movies.com .. they send me a nice check each month with no work on my end other then handing over the content. I'm looking to do the same in the mobile market. |
Only thing I can think of is trying to contact some European carriers that'll take your content, batch it themselves, sell it off their decks and give you a percent. You can also try and setup a wireless site and use programs such as Bango to do billing for one-off downloads or time-based memberships to a WAP site -- even for some US carriers (Cingular works well). You can even try and purchase a couple of SMS short codes and do some "cute" style SMS campaigns in the US that aren't adult - like "text to 666 and get this bikini pic of [hot slut's name] for $1.99". However, after carriers and your SMS aggregator take their cut, you're left with very little.
I spent the last three years working at a US adult company doing such things and the efforts and costs exceeded revenue. Like someone said above, anyone contacting you about a wireless solution, you should be very wary of it "sounding too good to be true". I'm not all-knowing in mobile, just know what I've experienced, and usually the middle-man charging to setup a mobile solution for someone is making the money -- not the company paying for that solution.
Anyway... my $.02.
Cheers.
