Sorry to you artsy fartsy photographers, but there is a reason you're out of business. It's a very simple concept in regards to who stays in business and who does not. Perhaps you're shit doesn't convert as well as others, or your girls are not as attractive, maybe you do not offer post production and the next guy does. If your content does not generate sales, then you find yourself out of business. It's that simple.
Look at Clips4Sale and all of the people making money there. Plenty of mom and pops shooting with what is at best night vision with mediocre talent and still making a living doing it. Do I think it's the pillar of quality content by PRODUCTION STANDARDS? No.
However, I am a businessman. If that shitty night vision content with crackhoes convert into sales, ultimately that is ALL that I or people like myself care about. I can assure you that if your content and girls were selling and converting memberships like hotcakes, few would mind paying your ransom.
I think some of you in this thread get too caught up in your artsy fartsy and do not spend enough time thinking about the business side of the equation from the end client's point of view. Obviously those who shoot hot women and good content that
converts stay in business. It's simple natural selection of the business world.
