OK you put your own words in here. What will a newbie shooter who admits he was learning and his content shows wasn't very good at that point, bring to the table of a sponsor. Other than a cheap price?
This is business, no one should be giving you work so you can learn how to produce the product they're selling and publishing. How would affiliates like it if it were a programmer, designer or support rep? the guy is new so we're giving him the work so he can learn.
Words in your moth. Well I will tell you what you should know. Porn was a far bigger business than online. A porn producer had different avenues to sell his content. Online, DVD, Cable, Hotels, Magazines. A good shooter of the level that could crack those markets, employed by a site owner, could sell the work to some of these other markets. Solo girl sites are pretty much left with Magazines, Lesbian has more appeal and BG even more. Even niches had other avenues.
By going to the avenues of income, they would of been able to fund the extra expense of a top shooter. Twistys might of had a problem getting a Viv Thomas or Steve Hicks. Still there were other shooter who could be afforded. I know for a fact they could of afforded one of the top UK Big Boob shooters. He worked for a Big Boob publisher who were into magazines and DVD. Wages, $60k+ One of his sets would of sold for $3,000 absolutely no problems. The limits of his earnings was the number of Big Boob girls he could shoot. Insatiable market.
Now either online couldn't afford to pay this guy his wage, location, model, equipment costs or the sponsors were to bad at management to look at the world around them.
The same goes for other shooters. Most were self employed because of the money, a few were not.
Would the content cost more? No, might even be less of a cost.
Was it possible? Yes, if they had sat and thought about it.
So why not, why go to a less talented shooter like so many did and give them the work?
Fris, I have had TGP galleries on those sites, paid for some. Look up my Whois and see the hosts. I think they could handle the load.
Damian, he ignored my question and will probably ignore this one. I was being nice to him and assuming he knew the answer.
