The problem is if you can shoot it as well as you say you can and sell it out as custom to one of the big programs you will earn a lot less than selling it non-exclusive.
A good video and stills set boy girl is worth a lot of money sold non-exclusive. Image set $50, Video $50, Image set and Video $100. now if you can't sell it out 10 times in each catagory you are doing something very wrong, so there is $2,000. With sales of 25 times in each catagory you will make $5,000.
Now go and ask what these big programs will pay you for custom. Any say $5,000 send them to me and I will sell to them as well. Contrary o what most say the content market is still very good. For some.
Easton, you are known and trusted. Do big programs just send wires to guys who are new and unknown?
