Third, plenty of amateurs have built up very successful traffic with trades made with amateurs that they shoot with - plus develop deeper relationships than just "hey bro can I get you a beer" type involvements...

Fourth, KB has got mojo and that is worth more than ten drunken webmasters with hard ons any day of the week.
Excellent points! The amateur market is a little separated from the rest of the online porn business, and if you want to talk about optimizing time for money, sometimes it is much more worthwhile for the model to get content done with numerous other girls than it is for them to talk to business reps or traffic brokers or other folks who wouldn't really have much to do with an amateur site.

If the model is being paid to be there by her wrangler/webmaster/whoever, though, then he might be paying her to stay on his arm at the parties or to be a booth girl or the like, in which case doing shoots would be counter-productive.
