First of all, I rarely ever do this sort of deal with any of my girls. But I do currently have a similar arrangement 2 of them. You're forgetting one thing in your split up there.. Who pays the expenses (visa/mc fees, hosting, etc).
What I do is reserve a % for expenses. A holdback if you will.. So it would look something more like 25% each and then 25% with held to cover expenses. And then every quarter or so we get together and evaluate how much is in the expense account vs how much we are actually spending and any excess is split among us.
I
might consider 70% to her and 30% split between me and the photographer if she was handling the expenses and advertising herself and all I had to do was build it.. And that's a big might.. It would depend on other circumstances.
One thing to consider as well.. I have rarely ever had a model stick around long enough for anything like this to make any money. It's usually all fun for the first 2-3 months before they get bored with it and move onto something else and stop showing up for shoots. And then I just wasted all of my time.
If I were you I'd make sure there's something in writing that states if you guys take the time to build something like this and she stops doing it (say within a year), you guys can sell the content or something like that to ensure that your time wasn't wasted.
