I?m brand new to this site and the business side of this industry to be honest but found my way here never the less
I?ve been shooting pin up style photo/video for the last 8 years as a hobby (fetish) with no intent on ever making a career of it. But the last few months I?ve been drawn to the idea that I may have skills in this trade that could possibly pay the bills and get me doing what I?m so passionate about on a daily basis. I have been studying the content on the big sites relating to my particular niche over the years and watching them grow and evolve has given me a deep appreciation for the industry as a whole, at the same time its shown me my work stacks up to what they produce only they are making a living with it. I?ve amassed all the studio equipment already and have spent thousands on fetish gear and sets around the house. I have also got a few models on hand willing to shoot a couple times a week and finding more has never been a problem for me as I?m still young enough that I don?t look like a pervert

. The problem is I have no idea where to start, thus my reason for posting here. I can supply exclusive content on a regular basis to anyone that can market it but reading through the posts here there doesn?t seem to be any money in it after all the costs involved to get the 100-200 pics and 30-60 min HD video you will get almost exactly what you paid for it (models ect). Setting up a site would seem like the right decision but then you need to spend months of time and thousands of dollars just getting the content you need to open the doors of your site for the first time. It looks like a closed door trying to break into the adult industry but at the same time if you look just under the surface you see people making it with a lot less you just cant seem to find them to go for a beer and talk about it

I have great respect for you guys and the trials and tribulations you must conquer on a daily basis to succeed in this game.
Please don?t flame me, I?m praying someone may have something positive to say.
