I am a writer, first and foremost. Yes, I tried the tgp/gallery/freesite stuff. Yes, I went through a lot of different ideas. None of them made money, mostly because I didn't like doing it.

The text on your galleries/sites is what differentiates your stuff from everyone else's. Without the text, no one knows if your collection is exclusive. Without the text, that girl could be your sister for all anyone knows. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but those thousand words could be the wrong words and you'll lose bucks. You have to put the thousand words you want in the minds of your surfers! If there's not any text on your site or gallery, you're not going to sell a damn thing.

So why do people constantly treat writers as though we're the bottom of the barrel? You pay for other content, and if it's exclusive stuff, you're happy to pay more. Why is it when you ask for exclusive stuff from a writer that you seem insulted when the price quoted is more than $20?

If your text sells so well, why couldn't you make a profit with your own "tgp/gallery/freesite stuff"?

I tell all my friends who are overeducated for the jobs that they can get," if there is no job for you, make one." I give you this same advice. If you believe that you have an outstanding talent for writing text on porn sites, then you should MAKE a forum for your talent ie. freesites/tgp/galleres. It seems very cut and dry to me, maybe you can explain better why you don't make your own jobs by making your own sites.
