And I would of turned you down flat.
Why because the profit margin on $2,000 is so low it's barely worth being in this industry as a shooter. 3 or more years ago making $2,000 for
one set, no video, was easy for us. Obviously others found it hard.
I reviewed the content in Brazzers and to me it's obvious it's shot on a too low budget. Not what anyone will shoot it for, based on what it costs to shoot something properly with real appeal.
Today that approach has led to 1,000 of sites with similar content of average to low porn quality and very little personality and uniqueness. The surfer can find similar scenes to Brazzers on any Tube site.
Once you factor that in the only reason who has to buy is resolution. Against that is paying, recurring, risk of getting ripped off and risk the tour is the best part of the site.
Plus you compete with 1,000s of other sites. All making sign ups harder to get.
Why did some pay us shooters so much money when obviously guys like Dave would suck up to them to shoot for far far less?
The answer is so simple. They did it to keep out every Ma and Pa operation making their business tougher. They raised the bar on what their customers expected from them. Do you think Vivid, Wicked, Evil Angel, Anabolic and the good magazines paid shooters this money because they loved us?
No they did it because it made business sense to them. The Adult Internet thought it made business sense to pay peanuts for content and now 1,000s of sites compete with yours for the few customers left.
And lastly. $700 for a scene is less than we make on the content store for a set and a video. It's not about making you money, it's about making me money. You don't care if you fuck us and I don't care if I fuck you. That's business.
