I'm talking blunt so forgive me. Getting a lot of idiots recently submitting content to us. Or asking dumb questions.
Seems recently more people are looking to get into the content game, either by shooting themselves, opening a content store, offering content to brokers or established content stores or shooting custom.
So to save you all a lot of time let me give you a few pointers to help maximise your income. As this side of the industry is very competitive and the surfer, when he's jerking off, does not care if you started last week or been doing three decades.
Photography.
Go out and buy some decent lights, camera and accessories. Simple as that, budget from $10,000 upwards.
Equipment today is so fucking easy to use it's untrue. Use cameras that get the pictures/video in focus and good quality. Most sites will compress images and videos, if they compress crap it looks like shit.
Exposure, so fucking easy a 5 year old should be able to do it. Take test pictures, put them on your computer and get it right.
Color balance, again a fucking dream to get right. Don't even think the surfer gets off on a green tint image. Test the color when you're testing the lighting.
Pornography.
Please don't tell me I don't understand your niche. I've been shooting porn nearly three decades and jerking off to it for four decades. So if I don't understand it how the fuck do you think a surfer will? I'm assuming your not shooting some weird niche like bondage, BDSM or something. Please don't even attempt to shoot niches you know zero about.
Go out and buy a few magazines and DVDs, in the niche you will shoot, and look at what they are printing. I say magazines because on the Net a lot of what you will see is from people basing their business model on traffic not content, also how many sites will allow you inside. Slightly better chance of seeing how it should be done with magazines and DVDs.
Learn, learn and learn again. Then go back and revise. We all sell pornography if you don't understand what the difference between pornography and photography is be assured the guys spending $30 a month do.
And again please don't tell me you're shooting some niche that's about crap content. There is no such niche when you're spending $30.
Lastly go see a lawyer about the legal situation of what you're doing. I'm not a lawyer.
Now before you send me pictures or ask what's the best way to sell content read this a few times and get it right.
End of rant.

Would you be willing to talk to me about how the magazine business works? It seems as if there might be some good opportunities there for me.
