So how does a site. Achieve the perfect structure without adding substantially to the cost.
This is how.
You sell to other sectors of porn. Then as you see it's a much healthier picture.
So for instance we have a site that instead of content costing money. It produces a profit without the profit it makes online.
If as some argue their content was good enough. They were bad businessmen ignoring these very lucrative markets. They had no cash flow problems, in fact making loads of money. Finding other markets was easy. Print needed a trip to a News Stand. Video to go to one of the trade shows.
If their content wasn't good enough to sell to other sectors of porn it's likely it effected site sales. This is easy to solve.
Some shooters simply were happy enough with a monthly wage and didn't want the hassle of investing, shooting and selling. Some of these would of worked for as low as $45,000. Some wanted more but not a lot more. They were already shooting and their boss was selling to other sectors of porn. Simple enough to poach one of them to come over. He would of done the selling and taken over product production from the site owners.
Online sadly had it's head stuck up it's ass, or truth is some couldn't afford to.
Think of what a glam site could of made with an employed shooter, of the level of Holly Randall.
No one could of touched you.
Getting people who were freelance shooters selling to other markets. Was way out of the price range of all but a tiny few. I heard all the stories of the millions made. Shame they couldn't of thought of an easier and better way to make even more money.
Hope I did my sums right. You get the idea and of course these are just examples and a detailed budget would of had to be produced for each company and site.
These examples apply to mainstream niches. Pointless even thinking of them for anything but the top 3-4 niches. Even Leg and Milf, had a limited scope selling offline. Still could be done with different calculations.
