When I buy content, I dont care about being piggybacked, in fact I encourage it. I want my content guy to stay in business.
As for 'doing something wrong', companies who have lowered the amounts they are willing to pay are doing something right. They're still in business. I recently heard quotes of $2500 to 4500 euros for a solo girl squirting scene! Are you fucking kidding me?
We all know that outside of LA, very few models earn more than a couple hundred dollars for an afternoon of solo anything. Don't kid yourself, I see performers handed $50-$100 all the time. These ridiculous rates aren't going to the talent, that's for sure.
You may feel that you are worth $300/hour, but it's not 2001 anymore.
Adapt or die.

Just because someone is looking for cheap exclusive content, does not mean that other producers will go along with it and work for peanuts. Models for solo girl shoots go for 300 and up. I know some who have even paid 450.00 and more and that is just for the model.
So you tell me, where does the cost of my time, the studio, makeup and equipment come into play with your plan.
This thread was for exclusive content and I think piggy backing a shoot to sell to another client is deceitful at best and not a good business practice....just my opinion.
And just because a program is having hard times or going under and can only afford X amount to pay for content, do you think it is wise for us to follow suit of the company that is going under by giving our work away? If so, we would be heading down the same path as the company in trouble and would soon be out of business before too long.
I shoot content to make money, not to bail out any company that is on the verge of closing its doors, and I don?t make 300 an hour. If you don't have the money for exclusive content then buy content from a provider that has multiple sets for sale that have been sold 20 times over.
Disclaimer: I no way am I insinuating the person that started this thread is going out of business, I was responding to your comments.
Adapt or die?
