I do know that for a lot of people it's not as good as it was and many are leaving the biz or looking for the door. Some very big names as well. The big sponsors who were paying crews to shoot here on a very regular basis have mostly gone. Some big custom shooters have gone and some are trying different ways of doing business to survive.
I'm discounting and if people want to buy cheap they need only hit me up on ICQ.
Yes changing times. |
Well, we are still doing well, and not afraid to post our ratios. But I also do not just sell content. We sell and market with our stuff from A-Z.
But you're right toots. I've talked to some other content producers, and they are hurting as well, just as your described. Some worse, some doing better setting up their own store fronts. A lot of the programs are not buying, and most are not sales men or have no interest in the day to day running of pay sites, clip stores, and the rest.
