Thanks for all the responses. I’ll answer them chronologically :-)
@Rabbit: thank you very much for the offer. Unfortunately, I have an additional roadblock. The models on my website have agreed to be on my website, but I’m promoting my website as a “photography related” website. For now, I can’t openly promote it as a porn website. If one of them found their images on an actual porn-related website, there will be hell to pay I think. I will keep this in mind for later (see later in my post here, promoting it as a porn site is in my “roadmap”)
@Paul: I’m not sure if I have to compete with Met Art, because currently, as far as I know, I’m the only one doing softcore VR still photography. I do believe that if this becomes a succes story, I will be rapidly overtaken by people doing a better job than me. At that point, I will have to up my game. I hope to have made enough money by then to invest into better models, locations, gear, ...
By the way, the models themselves are doing this for “TFP” for me. I’m not sure if this is a known term in the porn sector? Basically, it’s an exchange of time and services. They do this for me and I provide them some “2D” images for their portfolio. I’m a pretty well established art nude photographer (23 years of experience) and most of the models on my site are people that I’ve worked with a lot before.
I do aim to have enough revenue to start booking models. At that point, I might delete all the “TFP” shoots and just be up front with the booked model and say it’s a porn site. But I’m still figuring things out. In the first place, I would like to make this work as a non-porn site and offer Playboy-level content.
@femdomdestiny: Indeed, the niche is VERY small, as in “only me”. lol And that is my main problem. There are no keywords, because nobody is actually “looking” for what I’m offering. People are generally looking for VR video. But I’m sure that once they experience still photography, there is a market for that too. I just have to find a way to “create” a demand. That is what, in essence, my post is about. :-)
@celandina: looks like sadiedassle already handled your question. :-)
