Finally an honest reply in this thread besides mine. For once we agree on something. It was you, Aaron M, Matrix, hell... Earl Miller, Hank Londoner, Suze Randal, Ron Vogel and yes... PAUL Markham who I learned porn accounting from. 1st shoot pays the bills, second shoot pays your profit. You keep the profit, make a site out of it, sell it to a bunch of people non-exclusive, or sell it to someone else. EVERYONE DOES IT!!! What? Do studios and photography equipment grow on trees? Did I get a fucking grant from someone to pay for the maintenance of everything?
Where is everyone's mansions and $100,000 sports cars for just shooting porn and playing "Big Director" and paying full fuckin price? My 2 biggest clients encourage piggybacking and I give them discounts because of it - this keeps thier costs down. And these are big fucking programs - one of them even owns GFY!!! The other one is a top advertiser here!!!
These Ex-GF shoots are suppose to look like user submitted content. That means I have to unlearn everything and shoot like I did 10 years ago. Yeah, it's hard and I have to be creative, but so what. It's easier and faster with virtually ZERO set-up. It's called supply & demand. Think outside the box or get outta the warehouse. But hey if someone is ready to pay full price, all the perks and shipping too - sign me up - I like living in 2 years ago making $4,000 to $12,000 a day.
