If magazine sales are in the toilet how come they can pay up to $5,000 for a set non exclusive when this market pays $500 for exclusive?

I wish I had more in the toilet customers like that and less of the incredibly successful sponsors the business has buying content. Most of them have stopped buying.

For shooters who can sell to magazines it's still a very lucrative market.

Most magazines buy when they see a approve the work. If you send them a drop dead gorgeous girls they want to shoot for themselves they give you a finders fee and her a plane ticket. If you insist on shooting her yourself they will tell you to, reject the work and contact her direct. unless you did the type of job their shooters will.

Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler, in that order, are the main ones for submitting girls to. Unless they know you the email might never get opened. The money these people pay they have all the established shooters they need and trust. You never see them spamming the boards for new shooters. Even the top ones do on the Net, short of good enough shooters, can't hold on to the ones they have or looking to buy content cheaper?
