I'll help - a valid answer would be for example 5.

And not a wall of text trying to deflect. ;)

But keep in mind: your company records are public.

And I know my content business has no future. But I knew this years ago and that's why I left and do totally different stuff today.

Now I could tell you too about all the other things you are wrong about, but since you will as always completely ignore what I say, I'll save my time and effort.

But for the love of God - it's must HAVE and not must of...
So how many sets did you sell for $5,000 and still own?

My company records are not for you to review so don't say they are. It doesn't take a genius to know for 90% this business wouldn't last. They killed the golden goose.

To shoot magazine sets for the return we were getting they had to be shot on film. Producers had to first go to meet editors to get them to look at the work. They had to be of new girls who hadn't worked for anyone else. The girls had to be pretty or better and probably teens. They had to be shot right for print. They had to include cover shots. They had to be of the right poses.

Not even Dean Capture could consistently hit all those stipulations and we could. Magazines weren't a market where buyers were interested in price, was it exclusive, number of images and length of the video. They were a market that had 8 sets to buy and a lot of regular suppliers already who they preferred because they knew we would supply the right goods month after month.
