Sadly there are so many people like the subject of the original post, Squealer, Damian, Cherry, etc. People with little idea what business, porn, marketing or selling is about is about.
As the shooters who replied, it's not unusual to get some idiot who wants us to shoot content for peanuts. This guy wants someone to shoot a level few can get to of girls that are hard to find. And if a shooter could do it, he's not working for $250 a scene.
Like Squealer who turns up and thinks I'm a rude idiot and a crap shooter, then spends the rest of the day with me. Knowing I'm not what he was looking for and he must of realised he was not what I was looking for. Never did chase that crap market, left it to others to shoot custom. Thankfully.
Then the guys who came over and tried to convince me to stop shooting and turn the studio into a web cam operation for them. It's not something a parson can do both of and make a good job of either. The deal was always the same. I spend a lot of money, getting the equipment in, then the girls, then the managers for the 24/7 operation and I sell the "content" to them on a basis of I get a % of the enormous revenue they would generate.
And on paper it was a fantastic deal. I was getting a big slice of a mega cake and would be making a ton of money. Or something like that BS.
Won't even go into all the clowns who offered me great deals to sell my content to members on a rev share basis.
And there's me thinking all the time "So why do you need me. Open your own studio, find your own girls and run it yourself. Or at least put a big chunk of cash on the table so I don't risk my money.
The industry is full of guys with great schemes to make money. But rarely have money to put down on the table. Even the guru whale traffic pushers, never open a site and to listen to them you would think they have done most of the work dumping traffic on a tour. They don't even know how well a site will sell until they get the stats back.
Me I'm an idiot who knows nothing ad will never have to work another day in his life. I do it for the fun and the pleasure of annoying you.
I'm off out for the rest of the day. It's Easter Monday.
