Add to it costs of lawyers, insurance and then the bil goes up. Plus do you really think it's wise to let lots of pennyless girls walk through your home?
The small guy ends up with a site that looks absolutely no different from 1,000 others. But at least he's living his dream.

yea, I know what you are saying, but a 300 shoot per year isn't exactly a small operation, that's shooting almost every day of the year. You just said in your first post shooting content for yourself. What I was talking about is a small time guy that is shooting content for his own sites. I didn't think you were talking about shooting content to sell.
If it was me and I was doing it, I would be shooting for a few small single girl sites, or something totally niche. I wouldn't try to compete with the mega sites with a 1,000 different girls. Those sites IMO for the most part suck anyway. I would find a few girls and work with them, I wouldn't be trying to pull in new girls every week.
I will agree a one man outfit could in no way compete with the larger content producers, in selling content. I was also just taking the guy being able to shoot as a given, if he couldn't this would be a useless debate.
How did you start out btw, were you on your own or did you start it up as a working biz with a few employe's?
